Hello, Knucklehead!
Hope you're doing well. Got a lot of exciting things for you in this edition of the newsletter: A new comic, a new cartoon, a mystery solved, and a bunch of BlueSky invite codes in case you're sick of Twitter. Let's get right to it!

NEW COMIC
Forced Career Change
|
|
|
And you can probably guess the bonus panel:

I believe it was Allen Ginsburg who said, "I've seen the best cartoonists of my generation destroyed by social media, starving hysterical naked, teaching themselves how to animate in a vain attempt to please the algorithm."
|

OK, maybe he didn't say that. But I'm noticing more and more excellent cartoonists — from Chris Hallbeck to The Oatmeal — becoming full-time animators as the platforms abandon still images for video. And I'm no exception. Which brings me to…

NEW CARTOON
Batman's Biggest Fear
|
|
I adapted my most recent Batman In Therapy comic into a cartoon. I did the voice for Batman, and I got the super-talented Rachel Kimsey to do the voices for Catwoman and Poison Ivy. You might recognize Rachel's voice as Wonder Woman from Justice League Action, Call of Duty, and much more. She's the real deal. And I'm really proud of how the whole thing turned out. Watch it on your video platform of choice:

Don't worry – I'll keep making comics. But I also want to make more cartoons. As much as I complain about social media, I really do enjoy learning to animate.

LOST VIDEO FOUND!
|
|
Remember last newsletter when I posted this GIF of me from an old BuzzFeed video and asked you to help me find it? ↴
|
|
|
Well, our friend Brian flexed his internet sleuthing skills and found it. He did a reverse image search on the GIF, and found the name of the video embedded in the filename. Pretty clever.

My memory was almost right: I played a cop busting Allison Raskin for alcohol possession, not littering. Anyway. The sketch is… fine. Watch if you want to see me in a comically low-budget police outfit.
