NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst.

It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know.

Franck Bondoux and his team are out at Angoulême. Unclear whether the upcoming festival can be saved or whether they will regroup for 2027.

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

My most woke comics opinion is that you don’t need to be “good” at drawing in any capacity to make them, as long as the reader understands what they’re seeing the way you *want* them to understand it, then you are successfully cartooning

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

HAHAHAHA #3!

Generalisimo Cheeto is really filling his Depends over the Epstein Files. There must be a bombshell in what hasn’t been released yet.

Love it!

My first collector obsession wasn't comics. It was cars! Starting at age 2. This is my collection, proudly displayed in our downstairs bathroom. For guests to view while... y'know.

The Hot Wheels and Corgi Juniors are all mine from when I was a kid. The Johnny Lightnings I scored later on ebay.

Word flying around that JD King has died.

If you were reading alt-comix in the 1990s, you know his work. His style was a wonderful homage to midcentury mod, and it was everywhere. D&Q, Weirdo, Fanta. Really stylish and fun work. He dropped out of comics years & years ago.

Safe Travels, JD.

Yeah, this fits.
Republican legal icon and Clinton scourge Ken Starr signs off a touching note to Jeffrey Epstein with "hugs." Amazing.

All the big publishers have now joined the strike of the Angoulême Fest. Creators with big exhibits are bailing, too.

All to oust the infamous director Franck Bondoux. Looks like his days are numbered.
