β€œWhatever parades itself as God is a dangerous thing, even if it is God itself, because who other than God could bring forth floods and plagues, turn people into salt, and turn around and ask us not to commit murder, to not be jealous, to not do this and that.” - Akhim Alexis

A few panels from β€œThe Tin Can Society”, but mainly, a picture of one of the main characters full naykee, but the artist have given him a little boopy doop doodle of a peen, while everything else has detail.

Not only does @zackkaps.bsky.social write some great books, he has @hellomuller.bsky.social on the design. I cannot tell you how many great books die on the vine because of poor design, and I've never had that problem with Kaplan and Muller.

So, politics isn’t for you? Maybe it should be.

Fascism doesn’t arrive overnight. It creeps in through apathy, silence, and the idea that β€œthis stuff doesn’t affect me.” Graphic novels have always been a frontline medium; cheap, urgent, emotional, and impossible to ignore.

It’s fairly down the line if it is the same company doing the reprint. If the rights shift, they can’t do a true facsimile

I think we really need to thank Fred Durst for pioneering gender exploration in 2000 by identifying no less than 9 distinct genders

Ladies
Fellas
The People That Don't Give a Fuck
The Lovers
The Haters
The People That Call Themselves Players
Hot Mamas
Pimp Daddies
The People Rollin' Up in Caddies

A white-and-ginger cat sits indoors facing the camera, staring calmly. Bright pink-red beet stains smear across his nose, forehead, and cheeks, contrasting with his clean white fur. Clothes hang blurred in the background, making the cat’s beet-stained face the clear focus.

I swear to god, I left this cat alone for two fucking minutes with a jar of red beets.

Two. Minutes.
