There are now 3 full chapters (that's 106 pages!!) of completely free-to-read KEEPING TIME, the queer, slow burn between two former friends and now current bandmates who - for better or worse - fall in love.

#KeepingTime #webcomics

🎸 keepingtimecomic.com

A comic page from KEEPING TIME. Daniel, a Japanese American man, sits on stage at a grand piano and stares out in disbelief at Denver, a blond punk with a neck tattoo who looks equally stunned. A caption title says, "CHAPTER 1: 2:45 AM"

A second panel. Denver llifts the lid of a dumpster, while two figures stand behind him in a dark alleyway.

A third panel. Denver lights both his cigarette and that of Daniel's. Denver says, "I'm impressed, y'know," while Daniel answers with a, "Hmm?"

A final panel. Denver motions towards Daniel with his lit cigarette while Daniel smiles gently.

People with poor critical thinking skills are all too prone to accept AI slop as truth rather than the propaganda it's often used for.

All of it happened quickly. The first issue was released on a Wednesday at around the same time Kirk was shot. DC firing Felker-Martin and the cancelation of the book happened the next day IIRC.

Lots of coverage at the time. A search should be able to turn up some relevant links.

Nearly a month has passed since DC fired Gretchen Felker-Martin from Red Hood.

F Daniel Kent has a number of things to say on the matter. If you have a few moments please read Creators In The Coalmine.
