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...?"

Cover of Killtopia Comic Anthology, featuring a despairing man in a tech helmet.

The cover to Blister City
In the background in orange and pink tones sits a massive city, behind which orange mountains rise into a dusty orange sky
In the foreground 3 punks perch on the edge of a building, surrounded by litter and soda cans. The punk on the left wears a blue jacket that says die young on the back.

The text Blister City can be seen in the sky above the city.

screenshot of a youtube video where cat whispere jackson galaxy explains in the subtitles 'wheels got taken off a little fast when it comes to step by step introduction technique'
to the left, text reads
step by step intro technique
1. scent
the bandmates smell each other
2. sight
the bandmates see each other
3. touch
the bandmates be physically near each other

of course this is supposed to say cats and was badly edited

somebody tell denver leary that you shouldnt just throw two cats together like this, the proper way is not to allow direct eye contact yet and introduce them only by smell and shared meal time with a screen in between ...
