Award nominated comic btw

Kid Eastwood pokes eye shaped indents into his buttcheeks, puppets them to taunt his father before slamming them in his face and farting him away.

I had read Kid Eastwood #27 without any prior knowledge of what it was, and it was very enjoyable and excellent read! One of the highlights of that day

Felt like this combo of One Piece and cool Cartoon Network shows, and carries those parts really well.

Thanks so much!! My goal is to try and keep every issue as new reader friendly as possible- 27 comes right at the end of the biggest story arc I’d ever done, so I worried it would carry too much baggage, but I’m really glad you enjoyed it! I’m also super glad those influences show!

Good time for a reminder that anyone using generative AI in their comics or in any way defending this environment-destroying plagiarism machine gets a lifetime coverage ban at BF.

Be better.

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

It’s all about the Halloween comics for me this month, with ORLA! #3 and its seasonal house party setting released in comic shops on 22nd October and SINK: Halloween Special live now on Kickstarter at comixtribe.com/sink. A double-bill of spooky treats!

Cover for ORLA! #3, by Sally Cantirino and Dearbhla Kelly, featuring Orla Bard, looking radiant, kneeling in a Regency era ball gown, surrounded by Halloween decorations, clinging to the arm of someone in a white dress, red high heeled boots and fishnets.

Cover of SINK: Halloween Special, by Alex Cormack, featuring a tattie bogle, a turnip carved with a scary face.
