lol some of us don’t have time to discern the (rumored) different flavors of conservatives. They all sit together anyway. Like. Be for serious.

Denver Leary spent the last three (3!!) chapters of KEEPING TIME trying to get the reserved, attractive pianist he used to know to (re)join his band. He FINALLY succeeded except it's, uh, off to a rough start

#KeepingTime #webcomics

🎸 Latest update: keepingtimecomic.com
🎸Start from the beginning

A panel from the webcomic KEEPING TIME. Three dudes in a band are in their practice space experiencing a full range of emotional reactions to a new band member joining them. The bassist, Stef, crosses his arms surlily, Tomás, the drummer, is an excitable toddler, and Denver holds his hands out at Stef in a 'dude, what gives' gesture as he asks, "Stef, buddy? You wanna say hi back, or...?"

The United States is in material breach of over five hundred - yes, 500 - legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations.

And lest you say that's because of Trump, we were in breach of at least 350 under both of the last two Democratic administrations.

So yes, we are an illegal occupation.

Conquering and colonization is the way people acquired land at that time in history. It was uncivilized and involved violence and yet that's how land was acquired.

You fought over it and, if you won, it became yours. I acknowledge that's how America came to be. I also acknowledge colonization was a bad thing for indigenous populations.

But I think you're reaching pretty far to try to claim America is an ongoing illegal occupation in present day.

Hi #portfolioday! I’m Lainey Williams, a cartoonist and illustrator. I love to write and draw queer romance, surreal fantasy, and strange horror comics.

Color comic page showing a woman in front of a forest of trees lit red and shadowed blue by the setting sun. She looks out at the sun, then turns back toward her sled filled with pinecones. As she does, there’s an insert panel of a goose’s wings pressing down in flight. The woman, Marika, turns back toward the setting sun to see the goose’s silhouette. Her stomach rumbles. She grips her bow and begins to short-ski up a snowy hill toward the goose and the setting sun.

A page from the webcomic Crash Coral, written by Randall Avilez and drawn by Lainey Williams.
Panel 1: a teen girl in a sweatshirt pours syrup on her pancakes. “I—I think—No, I am gay. I’m gay.”

Panel 2: her dad shoves food in his mouth while her mom sips coffee. They’re in a diner.
Dad: …ok.
Mom: Are you…Did you realize this only recently? Is…someone bullying you or something?

Panel 3: Coral, the teen, slides down on her vinyl seat, looking frustrated.
Coral: No no one’s bullying em. I woulda just punched them.
Dad: Right.
Coral: But yeah, I just found out or whatever at the show…on friday?

Panel 4: Coral looks up at the ceiling fan turning above her head.
Coral: And I think I’m in love with ricki…

Panel 5: Her parents stare at her, frozen for a moment. Dad’s mouth is still full of food.

Panel 6: Same composition, but Dad is grinning arrogantly and Mom is rolling her eyes with a smile.
Mom: Don’t even say it.
Dad: Wasn’t gonna—
Mom: I don’t know how you even knew.

Comic page showing three girls walking into a mock Guitar Center called Monster Music.
Panel 1: From left to right, they say “Wow!” “You guys seriously haven’t been to Monster Music before?” “Nope!”

Panel 2: Mikey, the white girl on the left, says “They have everything!” Kira: “Including a backup generator.” None of them acknowledge the huge floaty rift in reality crossing through the ceiling

Panel 3: Kira looks on as the other two girls wander away.
Kira: We still have a lot of stuff to unpack…
Daniela: I just wanna look around for a second.
Mikey: Yeah, be right back.

A comic page without text, rendered in bright pinks, cyans, oranges and yellows.

P1: a roadside diner at sunset with a pink mountain range in the background. IT’s called the redwood diner, ad the sign is backed by a stylized cloud with a sun peeking out behind it.

P2: Two white women sit at one of the tables at the diner. One has long brown hair in an updo and is wearing a pink dress. She’s in the middle of putting a fry in her mouth. Her friend is looking over at her. She has wavy, short green hair and a trench coat on.

P3: View over the girls’ heads. An orange doorless jeep is visible pulling off of the mountain highway into the parking lot of the diner.

P4-5: The two women run down behind the diner into the redwoods that surround it. There’s an insert panel of a blonde white man in a letterman’s jacket shouting at them—apparently the driver of the jeep.

P6: The brown-haired girl runs ahead, but looks over her shoulder at the green-haired girl.

The Hearth (1/21)

A sapphic horror comic about witchcraft and hunger in the dead of winter.

An illustrated cover for a short comic called The Hearth by lainey williams. A cabin sits in a clearing in a snowy forest. The small windows in the log cabin are lit yellow and there is a trail of blood through the snow leading to the door. Smoke rises from the cabin’s chimney to surround the title. On either side of the smoke are illustrations in the style of Karelian embroidery, showing stylized geometric patterns in red thread. On the left side embroidery section, there is a depiction of a woman kneeling. her hands are stained red and she wears a headscarf. Opposite her is a woman standing. Instead of a left arm she has a wing. Over the top of the image, two geese shaded in red fly over the cabin and smoke. The trees all around the cabin are shaded in dark blue.

The Hearth (9/21)

A comic page with two large main splash panels separated by a series of much smaller panels. The smaller panels alternate between illustrations of the plants on which different western russian/northeastern finnish plant remedies are based and close up shots of a kettle, a boiling pot full of rags, a hand wrapping a rag around a stick, a bouquet of dried flowers, a mug, a knife cutting fabric, a mortar and pestle crushing herbs, an arm with an arrow wound.

The first large panel is mostly blue, and shows a woman in a skirt (Marika) dragging another woman (Ása) on a sled through the snowy forest toward a cabin. The second large panel shows Marika, a blonde woman with short hair, dressing Ása’s wound with a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?

I think a lot of porn doesn’t get credit for how pretty and emotive it is. I’ll always find it kinda wild how one of the biggest, most powerful drives of the human psyche is treated similarly to shitting ones pants
