Comics and comic con fanatic. I can't write, I can't draw, I can't colour, I can't edit. Therefore, *of course* I have a podcast, are you crazy??

THE MOVIE IS NOT OUT YET. THE “OPENING” HAS NOT HAPPENED. Fear-mongering your headlines like this will only discourage people from watching it when it **does** come out.

From the #NYCC #SpiderMan Panel...

Starting in January 2027, the start of a 3-part EPIC in SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #8...

...SPIDER-MAN vs. THE RED SKULL!

This will be LEGENDARY!

This is Spider-Man taking on *the* Red Skull who ordered the hit on Richard and Mary Parker, Peter Parker's Parents!

If it wasn't for Cage's standing in Hollywood and his establishment with the Spider-Noir character via the Spider-Verse film, it's likely he would have been strongarmed into signing. How far up the celebrity food chain do you have to be before not signing the waiver means simply not working?

People are gravitating towards the 'Nicolas Cage is a stand-up guy, fighting his corner against AI creative overeach' and that's great and how it should be, fine. But not enough is being made that a studio has AI waivers on standby for talent, in front and behind the camera, that you HAVE to sign.

I was not able to attend the Harvey Awards but I sent a speech in case I won, so here it is! Thank you for this honour, animation people are the best people & fuck A*I ☺️

Thank you so much for this award, I am truly honoured! Thank you to my amazing publisher, First Second, my amazing editor Samia Fakih, my amazing literary agent Bernadette Baker-Baughman, and my original editor, Calista Brill, who plucked me out of obscurity over a decade ago and gave me the opportunity to become the cartoonist I am today. Calista was also the one who suggested I make a graphic novel about my art school trauma, so it’s her fault that Inbetweens exists. Thank you to my husband Tim, who has been with me since the beginning of my comics career. Sharing a love of creativity, comics and animation with you is the best part of my day. Inbetweens is inspired by my own experience attending a competitive animation college. My experience at animation college and in the animation industry post-graduation was pretty mixed, for a variety of reasons. Eventually I was able to leave animation and find a career in comics, which is where I really belong. But I made incredible friends during my time in the animation industry, and met my husband at the last animation studio I worked at. Even though animation didn’t work out for me as a career, I’m forever grateful for the people it brought into my life. Those in my animation community, my friends, my colleagues, and my partner, are some of the most creative and hardworking people I know. Now they and the animation industry as a whole faces the threat of billion dollar studios enamoured with the false promise of Artificial Intelligence, the ability to cut humans out of the act of creating. I am just one small cartoonist, but I can at least speak up and say animation is nothing without the people behind it. Thank you again for this honour, Harvey Awards. Thank you for embracing my story about kids struggling with art and choosing art because the struggle is worth it. Art is frustrating and wonderful and messy and fulfilling and most of all, art is human. Thank you again.

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!
