since we're all here hello, I am Laura, I work in comics full time and run the gamut of editing, lettering, colour support, scripting/thumbnailing, graphic design, and print setup. This is my personal account, not associated with my employer.

not to be dramatic but for the first time in almost a year I a) do not secretly desire to be hit by a car b) am drawing again (sporadically) and the reason for this is: My Special Little Toy is coming soon

commemorative art of the perfect mango I was excited to eat all week and discovered, upon slicing into it, that it was rotten. I showed so many people my mango. Everyone said what a gorgeous mango it was. So distraught am I that I accidentally blobbed ink on it; a metaphor for this anguish

From goodsniff/Catriona Drummond's (is she on here? I looked but couldn't find) substack, that I read and then had to lay flat on my back and think about a lot of things lmao. But this bit also applies to comics, and it's bang on.

Publishers routinely eat their own talent alive, chew them up, spit them out, leave them with broken bodies, often unable to make comics again, or unwilling to put themselves through the experience again. All that misery for less than poverty wages.
boom comics wanted to re-issue the puppycat comics and have me make more. my condition was for them to go back and retroactively pay the previous artists fair rates as their original rates were very low and shitty. they agreed to something and eventually i found out it was gonna be low residuals.

This is going to sound so dumb but I did NOT clock how much the constant ads and random posts were affecting my experience of the Other Place. Everything here feels so much more intentional. I'm not doomscrolling???
