I am cursed to never feel fully comfortable in any given outfit :(

(Patrons got this one a month early!)

Away

I was experimenting a lot with vaporwave colours and glitch effects in 2021-2022 and then I forgot to post any of it. Ultimately I didn't want to go in this direction but I still rather like it :>

This is so cool!

One last talent show to save the rec center

Ok everybody here's the deal.

My science education nonprofit, Skype a Scientist (you might know her, creator of the squid facts hotline and matcher of classrooms + scientists) has secured absolutely no grants to support general operations for 2025. But! We're selling advent calendars to fund our program! They absolutely rule. They can save our nonprofit asses. If we sell 5000, which I realize, is so many, we can fund our program for 2025. Then I can offer a bunch of programming for free. Running a nonprofit is a weird job.

Every day, counting down to frankly whatever you want (it's usually Christmas, but man, maybe you want to count down to Halloween, that's fine by me) scratch off the sparkly sparkly iridescence and reveal a fact about frogs! We have 24 top-notch frog facts here.

You should get one for every kid in your life, then get one for all the adults who still let themselves access joy in critters.

Get 'em here: https://squidfacts.bigcartel.com/

I wouldn't have guessed that I'd be leading support groups during the apocalypse, but honestly now that I'm here it tracks.

(Patrons got this comic a few months ago, and you can follow for free!)

"Solarpunk will never happen!"

As if it's not already coming, already here and starting to bloom before our eyes.

Neighborhood cooking clubs and libraries lending out more then just books, it's the art club that the community garden started, it's the funky gardens my neighbors have.

It's the DIY projects ppl wear with pride and ones that hide in the back of their dresser drawer. It's in the magazines and podcasts and in passing hope forward.

Like gruella gardening alone is enough for proof of concept for me, but the rise in community events and potlucks and fighting for rent caps and UBI and decentalizing energy and gardening is happening now.

And yea I gotta fight nazis and dickwards daily for it, and I gotta spend the time to educate and build up as I take down, but they can't say this future isn't coming. I'm here with you right now in it.

all about the Thunderbolts!

This week we return to Thunderbolts Volume 1: Justice, Like Lightning, by Kurt Busiek, Mark Bagley, Sal Buscema, Peter David, Mike Deodato Jr., Steve Epting, and others. We look deeper into the main cast of the series, and propose a wish list of changes (thirty years too late). We’ll see henchmen doing hench things, learn about incels and doxxing before those terms existed, talk about mall gothery, and discuss the importance of metaphors for six year olds.

Also mentioned in this episode: Marvels by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross Amazing Spider-Man also drawn by Mark Bagley Naruto by Masashi Kitimoto Trigun by Yasuhiro Nightow, and the Trigun Book Club Generation X by Scott Lobdell and Chris Bachalo Excalibur by Alan Davis and Chris Claremont Invincible by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, & Ryan Ottley Garfield by Jim Davis Spawn by Todd McFarlane Suicide Squad directed by either David Ayer or James Gunn, depending on which movie it is The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate Stone Soup by Marcia Brown and the Thunderbolts movie directed by Jake Schreier

Since I participated in this meme the phrase "This is me in paradise" will pop into my head whenever I'm feeling particularly content.

So here is a more jam-accurate variation

We read a marvel comic but don't worry if you haven't read the book for this one! It is mostly a discussion about Superhero comics as a genre and "The Marvel Way" and I think it ended up being quite a good chat! ^^ (Although we do spoil Thunderbolts immediately so you will have to accept that to listen)

This is the first part of a two-parter on Thunderbolts Volume 1: Justice, Like Lightning, by such people as Kurt Busiek, Mark Bagley, Sal Buscema, Peter David, Mike Deodato Jr., and Steve Epting. We brave the Marvel Universe in the mid 90s to ask important questions like, what happens when a gang of super-villains switches sides? Are nazis real? What happens when the biggest comics publisher goes bankrupt? And, what’s the deal with the “Marvel Method?” Buckle up, true believers!

Also mentioned in this episode: Marvels and Astro City, also written by Kurt Busiek Jay and Miles X-plain the X-Men The Official Marvel Comics Try-Out Book Trigun by Yasuhiro Nightow Smile by Raina Telgemeier Shortbox Comics Fair Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi Flat Art Show by Evan Dahm Gamerville by Johnnie Christmas And so many Marvel comics, including X-Men, The Incredible Hulk, Avengers, New Warriors, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and Alias: Jessica Jones.

Hey, don't cry. First salmon spotted returning to sites on the Klamath River previously dammed for more than a century, okay?

Camping Hourlies, 2022

***

The "real" hourly comics day is in February, but every year I do a bonus set of hourlies for my Patrons on just a random day that may be interesting. This is one I did in 2022.

Anyway I'm working on this year's edition, I went apple picking! Join at any level to see them as soon as they drop.
