Had the pleasure of reading Bug Wars by @jason-aaron.bsky.social @mahmudasrar.bsky.social Matt Wilson and Becca Carey. I loved what Jason, Mahmud and Matt did on Conan years ago and somehow they managed to level up here. A great read and concept. Go check it out!

Billionaires who buy Democratic politicians are oligarchs.
Billionaires who buy Republican politicians are oligarchs.
They want working class people of both parties to argue which side is worse because it allows them to continue the practice.

All you newbies drawing their first comic and haven't printed their comic before: 300 dpi, CMYK colours, bleed and safety, 0 0 0 100 K black text on a separate layer. Make sure you have all of these on all of your comics files, otherwise you'll end up like me having to fix 660 pages of my webcomic
