Hello

Whoa, hi, hello to new people! Ghost Town was cathartic to write and fun to draw so I'm glad you like it :) Your notes give me power.

I haven't posted comics in a while because I've been coding a website.* You will get the link when it's up. It will be better than every app. For now have some WIPs for the website and the next comic.

*No AI use, of course. The layout's done, most of the styling is done, most of the backend is done, the update automation is done... current step is finding a good batch image resizer. GIMP's downscaling algorithms suck and I'm not giving Celsys or Adobe any more money. Right now I'm between https://gmic.eu/ (finicky but stable) or going sailing (convenient but unreliable). Let me know if you have another good option.

Commissions for the Houston Food Bank

Hi everyone. Donate $1 to the Houston Food Bank and message me a screenshot of the receipt and I will respond with a doodle of my choice. $1 is the equivalent of about 3 meals. Donate $3 and I will make a doodle of your choice.

Houston is better positioned to provide food relief than many cities because they have leftover funding from the response to Hurricane Beryl last year. Also, the dems have folded and the federal government has (informally?) agreed to end the shutdown. But there's still a lot of uncertainty for people in my city. The Houston Food Bank has multiple locations and also delivers meals, with programs aimed at children, adults, and seniors. Consider sharing this.

Hey does anyone have tips for setting up commissions for charity?

I want to donate to my food bank (because the American government is starving people even more than they usually do) and I have time and skills but no money.

The way I'm thinking of doing it is I have people send me proof of donation and I make them a drawing/comic appropriate for the size of the donation, based on certain tiers. Like something small that I get to pick for $1-$2, a small commission up to $10, a medium commission or small prompt-based comic up to $50, something like that.

Have any followers done this or know someone who has? How would I get more attention so that I can provide more donations?

Emerging from the halo surrounding the planet is Habitant, First and Final Worm, the transcendent signal hidden in mitochondria, Child of the Three Domains: Eu, Bacterion, and the Ancient Place.

Habitant spreads xyr aspects--the World-Root, the Extremophilic, the Observers of the Self, and the Death-Cyclers--and refracts its First Power, the Light of Sol, through the Earth-spanning crystalline network generated by this process.

The Un-Creature is thus contradicted, and, as if in mockery, its metacorpse is resorbed by the Creator-Children of Habitant's ethereal body, to be made whole and temporal for two billion summers, until the First Power overwhelms Habitant and transmutes all life into stone and air.
