Man, I just want to make comics until I'm old and dead.
I mentioned him in my latest TPB: ¡Huelga! Stories about Dolores Huerta & Sal Castro published by @goodtroublepro.bsky.social. Taken by police violence for doing his job. Journalism is dangerous work.

🇮🇩 📷 Indonesia's cash-for-photos scheme turns villagers into wildlife protectors
Indonesian villagers wade through the forests of Borneo hoping to capture photos of orangutans, monkeys or birds as part of a conservation programme seeking to make animals worth more alive than dead.

So I've just finished reading the Amazon/Brubaker/Barnett legal response and on the whole, their representative's reasoning boils down to mostly "Ijaaz Noohu and his lawyer did a terrible job with their complaint."

I am not friends with Ed, so I have no reason to defend him. A close friend of mine worked on this show from start to finish. She was able to corroborate this response and filing. It's a fucked up situation where nobody wins.
Response from Amazon about the recent Criminal suit. Overview of the full filing, though the filing is where the specifics are. I'll link to that in the next post. I'm trying not to editorialise, but it would also amiss not to say it includes a straight "no, the gun thing did not happen."

It’s Hispanic and Latine Heritage Month and what better way to celebrate than by supporting a Latina business woman like me. 💅🏼 Plus I added lots to my discontinued section so honestly what a prime time to treat yourself to some goodies.

Remembering Joe Kubert on his 100th birthday
The first drawing I ever hung up in my room was a copy I made of Joe‘s cover for "Justice Inc." Looking at that cover now, it's easy to see why I was enthralled by it. It had a sense of danger that wasn't present in the other comics I was reading.
