2020 COMICS GIGA-THREAD (Page 1)
To finish off this year, I'd like to select some of my favorite strips from this year! Feel free to save & share these. If you'd like to support my terrible work, links in bio ☝️☝️
They body shame us by saying we're unhealthy, inject us with fluids, drill our teeths, knock us out with sleeping gas, remove parts of our bodies, brandish knives, spank babies, and won't even save your life unless you pay them!

I demand our Community replace D*ctors with locally trained "Social Healers."
1. Chicken soup solves 99% of status ailments. 2. For the other 1%, use the blood of a virgin. 3. If these fail, reach into the belly of a Yak and rip out its heart. Chant "yama yama yama yaaama"
These are only some of the many ways we will achieve medical justice. Lets get rid of all these Agents of Patriarchy with their fake western educations! None of them ever did anything good for anyone! They do ONLY harm. They're all the same! D*CTORS ARE KILLERS

MARI SUE: "Missed Shot" (1/16)
Never had an official 10k celebration, so... New readers, please enjoy 61 pages of a comic I drew last year for FREE! 😄 If anyone would like a physical copy of this story and its sequel, check out my latest IndieGoGo campaign (link in bio)!
This morning's warmup prompt: Design a 90's-style American comic hero 😋
Doodling this I thought, "y'know, this would make a decent cover!" Then I remembered there are TONS of artists on TW & IG, some who command unbelievable levels of talent. Why can't they find work? (Cont. >)
My theory: Publisher mismanagement, nepotism, Weinstein shit, overwhelming political bias, creative inbreeding, and talent searches conducted in bad faith.
Meanwhile Manga is outselling US comics exponentially, IN OUR OWN COUNTRY. Readers know why. Publishers seem blind to it.
The American comics industry has been on life support for 25 years, even while Hollywood superhero flicks are raking in billions. If American Suits continue to ignore new talent raised on Manga, telling US what/how to write and draw, they deserve to go out of business.
18 months ago, I drew the #1 upvoted comic in Reddit history. The next day, r/comics was CONVINCED I was an alt-right crypto fash trying to infiltrate their website. My crimes were drawing a hand gesture they misinterpreted, and following a few conservatives on Twitter. (Thread)
I was brigaded, conspired against, doxxed. I had only 250 followers here on Twitter. Hardly anyone to appeal to for help, to tell the truth to. I contacted every journalist I could think of, but none were interested. My reputation & freelancing career were virtually ruined.
I retell this story from time to time because I was not, and am not, who the mob said I was. They stalked me for weeks, silencing me by downvoting everything I typed. This was coordinated. They didn't want to listen to my appeals to reason. They wanted a witch to hunt.
