Chart of love triangles in Berserk and Wicked. Elphaba = Guts, Fiyero = Casca, Glinda = Griffith. Caveat: Berserk doesn't have an ending (yet/ever). 

All three in each story love and (except Fiyero, I guess) are jealous of each other. Elphaba and Guts both run away, leaving the person they are physically attracted to and the one they're spiritually infatuated with. Glinda and Griffith both make questionable choices in terms of consent after Fiyero and Casca internally move on, the latter each having realized that their initial attraction to perfect specimens had become shockingly overshadowed. The couples who "end up together" are both permanently scarred as a result of Glinda/Griffith's betrayals in favor of personal gain.

Perhaps because Glinda isn't the one who holds the Grimmerie (at least before these triangular issues are resolved), she does not end up going down Griffith's Behelit-empowered road (lucky Oz).

I Am An AI Hater I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Hi everyone! I'll be opening 10 commission slots tomorrow at noon PST. Here's a quick price sheet I put together, but "something else" will also be an option. Note, these will likely be tackled in 2026 as my next few weeks will be pretty busy.

if I were in a kidnapping situation or something where I could only use my nose to operate my phone, I think I'd do pretty well actually

Jimmy Fallon sucks a lot for a lot of reasons but I'd like to point out it's been eleven years since the last Roots album.

Every time I poop in public I remember seeing Spamalot on Broadway. During intermission, the bathroom was packed, and someone in a stall ripped the loudest fart imaginable. After a brief, reflexively polite moment of silence, everyone in the bathroom laughed & clapped earnestly as one. Good energy.

That first Fantasy Basketball comic by @sbosma.bsky.social hit 40 pages so I guess that doesn’t count

An orange cat perched on top of a fridge. The story title above its head is the same as the name on the cat’s tag: β€œBUSTER”.

Has this ever happened to you?? 
In a dark study and behind someone’s back, an orange cat tips a glass of water dangerously close to an open laptop.

Xino #3 from Oni Press is out today, which means BUSTER's on the loose!

We got the incomparable Sophie Franz on art, me on words and (for the first time in print) letters!

Shin Godzilla was one of my favorite movies in years but personally, Ultraman did very little for me. Given that I have no deep knowledge/nostalgia about Rider, either, my expectations are not super high.

Hi comics Bluesky!
I'm Andrew--I write, edit, and sometimes letter comics. I edited and wrote some of the ONCE UPON A TIME MACHINE books for Dark Horse & the Eisner/Harvey winner LITTLE NEMO: DREAM ANOTHER DREAM.
I've also written for COMICS FOR CHOICE and the upcoming last issue of Oni's XINO (#3).
