Holy hell yes! With all the music in human history at our fingertips, there’s no reason other than psychological warfare why I have to hear that one Hootie & the Blowfish song 6 times in an 8 hour shift

But I do have that glory of being a CARTOONIST, which is a job that definitely shows up on those checklists of how you’re employed if you ever try to like, get a loan or health insurance or eat a food. Everyone wants to be a cartoonist it’s so coveted, #prestige for days.

Yeah, it’s about time us creative types get knocked down a peg! I’m so awash in the prestige of having to constantly advocate for my own worth as an artist with every single project I take on, not to mention the zero benefits, unpredictable work flow, and income disparity.

It’s just funny that as the quality of everything from airlines to infrastructure to food safety and availability to healthcare continues to precipitously erode around us millions of people blame socialism, an economic system that we do not live under

None of these ever made it into the tub at my house: we either kept them like jeweled treasures, or squeezed them between our fingers until they popped. I distinctly remember having the frog ones because of course I did

I told them that they needed to actually produce some comics first, because concept art is all well and good, but if the concept is a comic, you have to show you can actually make one. Needless to say, the comic imprint they were trying to launch never materialized.

I went to a meeting at a big entertainment company a few years ago and they were looking to start a comics imprint. The walls were plastered with “concept art” for some stories they wanted to tell, but it was all illustration, not a single page of comics

I drew a shirt design for my pal’s comic book shop in San Diego! It was pretty much my only non-book related commission this year

And we commissioned our first new shirt, designed by @comicnrrd one of my absolute favorite people in comics! We got to partner with some unbelievably cool creators for signings, showcases, and merch.

Well, it’s official: Bon Appetite called me an aging punk
Quote Tweet
Oh my GOD I’m crying: “With no time for FOIAs or Bureau spokespeople, Merlan turned to her on-the-ground sources—her aging punk friends from high school who have retained their encyclopedic knowledge of strip mall parking lots and late-night pho joints.” bonappetit.com/story/recommen
