That's okay. For a second I wondered if I had slipped into some cool alternate timeline.

Daniel Loeb @danloeb.bsky.social · 2d

Is that a prediction?

If I won an Ignatz, no one told me about it.

I don't do Kickstarters. I probably should.

I write comics, pay everyone out of pocket - editor, designer, artist(s), letterer, and printer - then make digital copies free and sell print copies as cheaply as possible.

If you want to read comics by a good businessman, look elsewhere.

The eyes are a bit wide for anger, especially towards the bridge of the nose. Furled brows is all you need. 😠

He looks scared. I think that makes him look scary, vicariously.

Set in late 16th century London, an Irish orphan struggles to survive and find meaning in a depraved world.

Thank you for the kind words. They mean a lot.

The music is Brad Mehldau's performance of Paranoid Android, by Radiohead, from his soundtrack to "Mon Chien Stupide". It's the second of the three renditions on that album.

Daniel Loeb @danloeb.bsky.social · 9d

Looks fantastic.

"But that doesn't mean you're not prepared to try."

Love the art, and the reference.

Daniel Loeb @danloeb.bsky.social · 24d

That's inaccurate. He *definitely* killed a lot of people worldwide.

For payment, you might want to add an option for a deposit up front, with either scheduled payments to follow or the balance upon completion.

But that's coming from someone who mainly hires artists to illustrate comics I intend to publish, so maybe expectations are different.

They aren't opposing him because they aren't opposed to him. Bob Iger has nothing against state media as long as his company is the face of it. So he's not saying, "fuck you", he's screaming, "pick me!"

If you really want to hurt Trump, resign so someone more effective can take your place.

Plenty of small publishers aren't just open to this, but insist creators sign a contact including a clause against using AI to write, edit, or illustrate a book.
