I am going to add alt text to all my photo tweets going forward. As a Disabled cartoonist, I want to be as accessible as possible. I admit it has slipped my mind in the past. Thank you to all who have educated me, I still have a lot to learn! ❤️ Here's to a better world

Help Ghada and her family evacuate by donating to her brother's GoFundMe! Her father also needs urgent surgery for missle wounds. This is urgent because if he doesn't withdraw all funds by end of July, GoFundMe will delete the fundraiser

@Munmun_Princess I feel you, I went through a long period of mourning because I relied on Critical Role for cleaning my room, background audio for art, a ton of things! The sounds of their voices and banter was so comforting. C2 got me through one of the worst times of my life.

@caphe_2021 Yes, I am the cashier and it happened the night before I began this artwork. It made me feel terrible and I got home close to midnight and could not sleep for several hours. The artwork took me twice as long because I was recovering from the way my manager treated me

I didn’t have arthritis, just malnourishment combined with repetitive strain injuries, but honestly don’t listen to your asian parents when they call you weak and try to stop you from seeking help. Shit’s abusive. Ignore them and reach out to whatever resources you have!

You may have noticed this comic is a repost - the original did not do so well, and I want to post it again with different formatting and captions to see if it catches on. I'm very proud of this comic and spent days and days collaborating with Mohammed and putting this together.

when I was a freshman, I was shocked to discover I never got the emails for the MANDATORY comics dept. meetings. I was told that Woodruff deliberately made sure honors program students got none of those emails because "he didn't like us." Nothing was done about it til he left.

Wild to see my old college department chair who vocally and obviously despised comics, considered them "low art" and made comics student's lives complete hell for decades get Eisner nominated four times over for his first graphic novel. Oh, sorry, "graphic opera".

To everyone who thinks my comic was selfish, I threw it on here not expecting it to get so big. In case it did , i attached Ekhlas's fundraiser so she'd get lots of donations. I know how to draw the type of "vent comics" that can do well. this time, I'm doing it for someone else.
