Hello its me again to tell you all that the Kung Fu Panda trilogy was vastly dismissed and overlooked because its “Dreamworks and Jack Black as a panda” while missing in one of the best and most beautiful pieces of animated movies.
Its sequel is much better than Frozen 2
For my digital user please for the love of god get a grip helper for your pens and not a tiny one I mean a CHONKY as hell bc having a small grip all the time will hurt your hand in the future!
I super love the Ergo Grip for my wacom and I havent had any pain since!
Reminder that disability activist Engracia Figueroa died due to infected ulcers caused by pressure sores after United Airlines destroyed the wheelchair that was customer made to support her.
This shit is no joke airlines are actively harming people who need these to live!
Wheelchair users have been trying for ages to raise awareness about their wheelchairs being broken so often when they fly, and the devastating impact this has on them.
@AmericanAir
baggage handlers decided to give a demonstration of how much they enjoy breaking them 😡
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear, I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
Happy Valentines Day!

Anyways you don’t get to mock people airing their grievances, chalking up the death of a beloved creator to skill issue and saying how were we expecting to make a living of comics while actively having a Patreon to support your webcomic and then say you’re being misinterpreted.
My guy people would LOVE to not drive but without any kind of reliable public transportation it’s almost impossible getting places specially when the only way to get around is only highways
I can’t believe we have to keep saying this in this year of 2024
I Can not emphasize how much Ian was constantly working, trying to get pitches done, he even briefly worked in animation and I know he barely slept a lot of the time. I know the publisher he worked the most for payed him the company minimum only to increase his page rate-
Every post about Ian McGinty is "he was the nicest dude in the world, he encouraged me as a young artist, he was so funny and kind" and then, inevitably: "he worked so, so, so much". He worked more than I thought was possible, just constant creative output.
Pls pls pls stop directly interacting with those AI dudes making those godawful comics they are verified they are making money off interactions they don’t care if you’re mad they’re morally bankrupt already

@FadedYoda
not only that but it helps the audience focus more on the action rather than trying to figure out where the action is going, if you see how the action is edited the point of focus is the same after a cut, guiding the eye better
I think ppl are taking this as Dave making fun of folks promoting their comics when he is talking about a specific type of guy I think everyone agrees is super obnoxious and ruins the mood for everyone around due to how loud and guilt tripping they are
Some personal examples 🧵
Sometimes that one story we wanna write or tell is not gonna sell and not gonna resonate/be the magnum opus you want it to be. That’s okay! Make stories for you. If you only do it for praise you will burn out rather than doing it because you like it. But be receptive to feedback
Ok so I’ve been wanting to draw this a while back but when I met
@SaraAlfageeh
at HeroesCon we saw a dog in the middle of the hotel, she encouraged me to go pet him but she did not expect for me to actually take a sprint across the hotel reception to do so
The fact that all of this was created from the backs of comic creators who put their time and effort for probably little pay for only to come and use the tool that has been taking their jobs to make your opening credit instead of hiring artists is such a slap in the face
To $100, which is still so low! You could tell he was tired a lot of the time. Publishers need to do better than exploiting artists for low pay, we need to do better and give artists the financial and medical support they need since a lot can’t get insurance done freelance alone
COMICS PEOPLE: if you are UNAGENTED please promo yourself in this thread.
A lot of peers have been looking for an agent and I think sharing this would be a cool chance for agencies to check some talent looking for representation!
Please consider RTing this!

Seeing the amount of people telling you “well, being weird is kind of my thing” like lmao ok Jared Leto’s Joker chill out and learn how to interact with humans
@EpicVoiceGuy
@gendeer_fluid
Its so sad! Unfortunately its the same in the comics industry, they refuse to hire older artists because “they can’t afford them” but truth is that they can make naive younger artists work more for less pay ☹️
@MattHTaylor
Fun fact: in the Lakota legends there was a group of girls being chased by bears. The Great Spirit raised the ground to help them and the marks you see were actually claw marks!
@Nadia_Shammas_
LMAO literally happened to me last year, met another cartoonist with the same last name as me and we looked WAY too similar, looks like our grandparents were cousins

I can't overstate the disappointment this is and EVERYONE WANTED TO SEE THIS! I hope you trying to save money on an illustrator is worth losing your revenue
I do gotta say regardless of writer vs artist I think its kind of fucked up to say that the only way to be legit to create is by having fucked up things happening to you like???
Also I realize that I really made a weird point comparing the sequels with Frozen 2 with no elaboration on why.
I feel like unlike the KFP sequels F2 had no story to really tell, the characters feel regressed or really badly developed. It feels like a bad direct to video sequel
I literally got into the comics industry bc BOOM! discovered my Steven Universe fanart. Let people have fun and if they make careers out of it even better.
@TaraOComics
She says stuff like this a lot and pretty much has had comic discords/ communities kick her out because of how awful she is it’s best to block her
And jsyk this is not new she has been kicked out of more than one comics group for this attitude. This is not misinterpretation, this is finally the consequences of your actions catching up to you.
The point of independent comics is how everyone has a shot to show their works. This incredibly gatekeeping attitude is not it 👎🏽
Nvm that community murals is a chance for low income (mostly poc) artists to show their amazing talent
