especially applies to monthly comics. don't save that amazing thing for the second arc. there's a high probability you'll never get a second arc.
WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*.
Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more.
Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Entire presidencies have been squandered hiding Latin American foreign policy scandals smaller than the ones this president tweets out on a Friday.
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

*seeing the journalist’s last name* What’s the exact opposite of nominative determinism?
No, ChatGPT is not conscious. Are the journalists who keep writing these fucking articles?

The House of the Devil by Georges Méliès was released in 1896, is widely considered the first horror film, and features Mephistopheles/The Devil, so I feel like it can confidently snatch the title of “first faith-based horror film.” Also, it’s four minutes long.

Today's stacks from Alan Scott: Green Lantern #2 & #3 (probably one of my favorite single issues I've ever lettered). By T. Sheridan, C. Tormey & M. Herms.
Check out the density of these pages! I feel like the stacks are akin to sports heat maps, in showing what parts of a page are more used.

The second you put a fictional character above a real human being, YOU are the problem. Theres no ifs, buts or ands about it.
Not happy with what you read, fair enough, critique of the work is fine. Threaten a real human being over it? YOU ARE ONCE AGAIN THE PROBLEM.
See how that works?
