Celebrate Pokémon Day by reading my comic about Giovanni and Lt. Surge getting handsy with each other on Patreon patreon.com/coelasquid?utm…
I’ll probably figure out another way to share it when it’s all done, but for now you can read the pages as I finish them by throwing any amount of money at all in the top jar.
The premise of this comic was entirely motivated by seeing a comprehensive list of thousands of Pokémon ships, realizing that no one had ever made “Giovanni/Surge” before, and thinking “huh, that’s weird, people draw tons of thotty art of both of those guys”
Then someone said I could call it “WarCrimesshipping” and of course meant that it HAD to happen because now a funny pun was involved.
The content warning on this is that in like 20 more pages a Pokémon is going to get ripped in half by another Pokémon.

This is a hard thing to explain or quantify, but a lot of these Disney movies that come out and then kind of blink out of existence are full of characters that look like no one fell in love with them while they were making the movie.
Like, you think of your absolute favourite animated movie and it was probably full of characters that felt like they were someone’s favourite thing to wake up and play with. Like someone went to work and said “I’m gonna make everyone love this fucker as much as I do” ImageImageImageImage
It’s hard to explain it but all of the marketing I’ve seen for those blink-and-you-miss-it movies like Strange World or Lightyear or whatever just exude this intense NPC energy.

THIS SHIIIIT THIS SHIT RIGHT HERRRRRE. There is nothing I hate more in media than stories that tell you exactly how you’re supposed to feel about them with no room for ambiguity or interpretation. Image
Here is a story about making things to be consumed by a large audience from the perspective of someone who used to make a webcomic with such a vast readership that I got booted from my first webhost because every time I updated, the deluge of traffic crashed their entire company;
Not every person will understand every point you’re trying to make. That’s just the way it is, you can never doubt an audience’s ability to miss a theme or not get a joke. People will think you’re saying things you were not, it just happens.

The number of times I’ve seen Terminally LA people bring their dogs into places that serve food and do absolutely nothing about the dog jumping up to put it’s paws on surfaces the food is served on because they think it’s very cute and a gift to everyone who got to witness it
Watched the most LA Woman you can imagine just let her dog stand up and sniff and lick all over the counter at a coffee shop while squealing with delight about how cute it was.
As soon as she walked away the Russian barista was like “people just don’t train their dogs here?”

Listen if you’re taking long enough breaks between sets you can pull your book out you gotta gtfo the machine and give other people their turn
I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she’s gonna clean the bare foot sweat off the machine but don’t hog the equipment while you sit around for 20 minutes reading books or fucking around on your phone or whatever.
Gym I went to in the beforetimes had two leg presses, one maxed out at 300lbs, one was 500. I was pressing 460 so I needed the 500 one, but dudes would always camp on it playing on their phones and doing like three sets over the course of an hour.

You know I actually may have been 23 when I drew that thing about how to draw more varied bodytypes in your gay bodybuilder porn that the internet chopped up to use as workout advice and have been quoting and fighting about ever since Image
Somewhere between 21-23, at least. I see this shit get quoted in like… tv shows and things made in completely different languages now. It was never trying to teach you how to work out, it was about a bunch of different sliders to consider for horny jacked man drawings.
The tl;dr point of it was that no one looks like this by accident, so y’know, throw a couple other beefy dude body types in there if your characters aren’t supposed to all be Mr. Universe competitors by trade Image

I’ve never watched a movie that made me want to get up and leave the theatre more than Skinamarink but I think that’s what they were going for so in that sense it was a resounding success. Profoundly unpleasant to watch and the most effective horror movie I’ve seen in years.
I haven’t experienced the same feeling of “ohthankgod” that a movie was over since Uncut Gems.
One time when I was a little kid I went down to the basement, but then I was so afraid I couldn’t walk back to the stairs to leave the basement. My dad wasn’t home and my mom can’t walk, so I was just stuck being scared and alone in the basement. That’s what Skinamarink was about
