    Artist Yuko Shimizu () took a leap of faith and left Japan for the U.S. to make it big — which paid off with many of her creations seen in some of the nation’s top newspapers and magazines.

    Ginni Thomas sent messages to the White House about a plan to get the Supreme Court to overturn the election. Clarence Thomas voted to keep White House messages about the insurrection secret. And you think a leaked draft opinion is the ethics crisis facing the Supreme Court?

    This article does not take into account how TV is actually made, how hard it is to develop a show. TDT was so complicated, I worked on it & nothing else for 3 years. I actually shot a very expensive pilot. Yet, this writer is very dismissive of my approach.

    Why is Stephen King's series so hard to adapt?

    When I was a kid, UNCANNY X-MEN and NEW TEEN TITANS meant everything to me. George Perez was one of my early art idols. He wasn’t Mexicanx but his last name made me feel there was hope for kids like me to ‘make it’ someday. Silly, I know, but it mattered. Rest in power, George.

    Not all Democrats stand with womens’ rights. Henry Cuellar does not. does. He can be defeated but Jessica needs help.

    Henry Cuellar was the only Democrat to vote with Republicans against codifying . I’ll always stand for our health care and the right to choose. In 21 days, Cuellar & I will face off in the Democratic runoff. Let’s defeat the last anti-choice Democrat in the US House.

    Fuck this illegitimate SCOTUS. Fuck the Republican party that enabled this. And if you don't care that this decision makes women second-class citizens, fuck you too. We don't have the luxury of time--we need to fight NOW. It's Democrats vs. Fascists in 2022. Vote accordingly.

    Livid. Beyond words.

    The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes.

    Neal Adams. One of the 1st comic book artists I ever knew by name. Found 'Night of the Reaper' in a 'Best of DC' Treasury back when I was in elementary school. Still holds up. Back then, I wanted the Batman Treasury Edition so bad just for the cover art alone. RIP, sir.

    The Good News: I apparently had the foresight to create a MassTuhDawn account 5 years ago. The Bad News: Haven’t posted since then. Probably need to figure out how to use it. Will touch base over there at some point (). Back to work here. ✊🏽

    THREAD.

    A lot of journalists don't read comics, so... A comic is made by a writer and an artist with a colorist, a letterer, and sometimes others. It's a collaboration. Calling it The Writer's Comic is like calling The White Album by the Beatles John Lennon's White Album...
