NOTHING in your comic will work if you mess up the timing. The jokes, the dramatic reveals, the cliffhanger, the convincing argument... NONE of it works if you mess up the timing. Here's a little excerpt on the subject from my How To Draw 2026 book now on Kickstarter. Much more on this in the book.

OpenAI needs to die and their CEO Sam Altman belongs behind bars.

The company’s new Sora video app is an IP infringement slop factory that furthers our descent into a creatively bankrupt post-truth nightmare.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.

If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Little reminder given review requests today that we do not cover comics created by AI theft, nor do we link to that popular digital comics platform that hosts them. It’s an instant block if you use AI “art”. Don’t waste our time with requests for coverage if that’s your thing.
