World’s Worst History Buff

G’day, I’m Joe - freelance writer and artist - currently developing a comic series called The "Great" War 🪖💥

Anything but making my comic... lol

Such a random update since I haven't been on tumblr in a bit... sorry guys.

However, I have started making a site to host my comic on + art and extras. I'm in the very beginning of learning to code so I'm super excited to share what I make. So, technically it's comic work, right?

Has anyone else made a site? Any advice for the newbies (aka me...)?

Not to toot my own horn or anything but I feel like I really shine artistically when I draw action scenes

**i tried to tag/link everything, if anything is broken or unsourced please let me know and i will endeavour to fix it! standard disclaimer that a) any discussion about war media based on real life people is based upon the fictional portrayals of those people and not the actual dudes. and b) this powerpoint was made for fun, it is not rigorous academic analysis. all opinions expressed are my own. please do not take it too seriously! that's all <3
