Two floor rugs are side by side, the left one blue and shaped like a Quagsire, the other, a brown Clodsire. They're fuzzy!

An illustration of an elf laying on their stomach facing a duck that is happily quacking at them. The backdrop is of tall grasses and bushes and trees, with dandelion puffs, clovers, and thistles, and in the foreground there is a pond with duckweed covering the surface, and ducklings peacefully floating about with flowers on their heads. The colour scheme is warm with yellows, oranges, greens, dusty pink accents, and lavender colours.

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

Jesu says, “do unto others as you would have them d” the text is partially obscured by an american bomb. the remaining panels are blank.

More men, drones, and vans arrive. Finally, the scene is mostly obscured by vans and masked men jumping out of them. From back where Jesu was being held, multiple gunshots ring out.

Jesus, shaved and in a suit but still with a burger, stands by the window inside of a skyscraper. “do…” he says, “…you ever feel like you’ve changed so much about yourself in pursuit of wealth that you’ve lost what makes ‘you’ you?” He sighs and looks out the window while eating the burger. From behind him, someone says, “Mr. Christ your private helicopter to rich pedophile island has arrived.” “Ok,” says Jesus. He is gone in the final panel and a helicopter is flying away in the background. He appears to have smeared the remains of his burger on the window before leaving.

A graph titled “The Creative Process” showing a cute pumpkin girl going through stages of making something. She starts out high up, “I just had the best idea!!!” and starts sliding down a hill “this isnt as simple as I expected.” She winds up in The Swamp of Despair (two skulls say: “this part sucks! don’t give up!”) She says, “this sucks, I suck. Why am I wasting my time.” She crawls her way out of the swamp “it’s not perfect but I’m going to finish” and crests the final hill, “it’s done??? I lived???” Finally, she walks away from it all, glittering with pride. “This turned out pretty good!”

"Flow" in a comic page layout

"Flow" in a comic page layout

Comic creators often talk about "flow" through the composition of comics pages, but little work has actually studied it. So, our newest paper explores what flow is and how it works, which I’ve summarized in a more accessible way in this post: www.visuallanguagelab.com/2025/12/goin...

In-progress comic page in which an Asian American teenager sits on her bed while someone in her phone asks "What?" and she yells "I said I'm going, I'm going!" We see her phone end the call and she tries to open an app, but gets a notification that says it needs to be updated. She huffs in frustration and exits her room.

4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
Red Guy looking way way too happy yells “Hey Guys! Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?”
Blue Guy next to him calmly says “Shhh”

Panel 2: 
Blue Guy tenderly puts his arms around Red Guy and says “You don’t have to do this”

Panel 3: 
Blue Guy still holds Red Guy tightly and repeats “You don’t have to do this every year”. Red Guy begins to break.

Panel 4: 
Red Guy dissolves into Blue Guy’s embrace, sobbing. He finally feels the weight of Christmas Discourse lifting from his shoulders. He is finally free.

The upper right illustration depicts him in a small, chibi style drawing walking forward with his arms out, as his orange cat familiar Teekl walks behind him.
