I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
Title: "Unprepared for a Regrettable Luncheon! (With apologies to Kelly)" In the visual style of famed The Onion cartoonist Stan Kelly, Superintendent Chalmers is having lunch with Principal Skinner, who is menacingly placing a tray of hamburgers and fries upon the table, which greatly upsets Chalmers. Beneath one of the hamburgers is a wrapper bearing the text "Obviously grilled fast food". Chalmers [labelled as "Disappointed guests"]: "B-but... I thought we were having steamed CLAMS!!" Skinner [labelled as "Isometric exercising* odd fellows" - the asterisk refers to a footnote reading "Latest fad"]: "Oh, no, I made STEAMED HAMS™®! ©1996 Skinner family All rights reserved" From within the clouds of smoke billowing from Skinner's kitchen (wherein an American flag can be seen burning) three heavenly beings gaze upon the scene disapprovingly: A pig labelled "Actual hams", Krusty the clown, labelled "Hard-working patent-holders", and a teenaged fry-cook labelled "Ignored sandwich artists". Lady Liberty peeks in the door and sheds a sad tear at this woeful scene. Kelly's obligatory artist cameo has him disgruntledly commenting "Seymour-a bore-e-malice."
Steamed Hams but it's a Kelly comic
(Yup that's right I still make "Steamed Hams but..." memes)

In his excellent newsletter @paulconstant.com says "Good Literature Should Fit in Your Pocket" and riffs on the death of Mass Market Lit. I agree! I'm trying to create small, affordable weird books that fit in yr pocket; fast pulpy fun reads like comics.
Chique mesmo é ter uma rara camiseta do Vingador Tóxico do hoje artista do personagem, @sobreiro.bsky.social
Thank you for the tip!
What's the best newsletter creating website out there? I need something free, for just a handful of subscribers, that allows me to add a few images. For our podcast we're creating the document on Google Docs and then copying and pasting it to the email, we lose images and format in the process
I'll check it out, thank you!

With so many eyes on Image releases, do check out Malevolent. Had it come out after D'orc 1 and not before, it would definitely be right there with White Sky as the comic to look for. There are some great ideas in play here, I just hope it can have enough runway to catch on.

As more and more casual comics fans get onto BlueSky, I wanted to explain what FOC is because I see lots of abbreviation from creators. It means Final Order Cutoff, essentially the last day you can order the book and ensure you will get it before the publisher takes order numbers to the printer. 👍
Just rewatched it this week, I love it

Happy we have officially announced this thing I've been working on for ten freakin' years. Expect to hear more from me about it over the next little while. Meanwhile, here are details:

Alejandro the black cat
An image of a large Venom with Eddie in his hands. Text reads across f boxes: "The thing about love is that it's not gentle or soft. Not at all. Love is strength and full of terrible purpose. Love is power and it will never be done with you. It consumers you."
For Valentine's Day, a part of one of my favorite spreads from one of my favorite single issues of Venom.
