Tbh, I Was Kinda Waiting For Someone To Point This Out And Yes, You’re Absolutely Right. Abuse Doesn’t

tbh, I was kinda waiting for someone to point this out and yes, you’re absolutely right. Abuse doesn’t have to be physical, it can be emotional and/or verbal.

This comic came about because I‘d read several commentaries comparing Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin, specifically in regards to how they treat their daughters.

Almost everyone I know who takes the time to think critically about The Simpsons or Family Guy hones in on the fact that Peter physically and emotionally abuses Meg, whereas Homer is incompetent, neglectful, and absolutely does not understand Lisa -- but he loves her and he tries.

In the commentary about how Peter and Homer treat their daughters, I didn’t really see anyone bring up the physical/emotional abuse of their sons.

To lay it out there -- I loathe Family Guy. Fucking hate it.

I grew up watching The Simpsons and can have entire conversations purely through quoting the show. But as much as I love The Simpsons, I think the overall cultural attitude to corporal punishment (physical abuse) has changed enough that it’s time to retire the running “joke” of Homer choking Bart. It may have been a culturally acceptable joke ten years ago, but more and more research is showing seriously negative outcomes for kids that have experienced any form of physical punishment. We need to stop normalizing it.

As for King of the Hill, Hank and Peggy are hardly perfect parents and both have a tendency towards stifling Bobby’s more flamboyant and/or “feminine” behavior. But they both love Bobby; they have both, at different times during the show, been able to connect to Bobby through his various interests. While not perfect, they are a much healthier depiction of a family.

As a queer transgender dude who grew up in Texas and is totally unsuited for Southern concepts of masculinity, I have a real soft spot for King of the Hill and for Bobby. It’s a far more real and complex depiction of family, compared to the pointless cruelty of Family Guy or the lesser cruelties of The Simpsons.

Dreamed that my cat, Winnie, had kittens. I knew that cow milk actually wasn't good for kittens, so I was frantically searching the Internet to figure out what to feed them. Dreamed that I was downloading the music of a band called "Intervesante." The band's lead singers were a set of Jewish-Jamaican teenage twin girls. I really wish that band existed in real life.

The lyrics are from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," but I had Patti Smith's cover in mind when I made this piece.

Because I work full time, it takes awhile for me to complete my comics. With that in mind, would people like it if I posted the Naruto comic I’m doing in 2 page batches as I complete the pages, or would you prefer to wait until I can post the entire comic?

I don’t know how long it will take to complete, as I’m doing it entirely in CSP and it’s projected to be around 25 pages.

Between My Internship And The Asbestos Apartment Boogaloo, I Haven’t Really Gotten To Work On A Painting

Between my internship and the Asbestos Apartment Boogaloo, I haven’t really gotten to work on a painting since March.

My first run at this portrait, about 2 hrs of work, not including the initial sketch. Trying to get faster and looser with portraits.

This piece came about as an attempt to visually depict how I experience music. Possibly due to my Autism, I do not seem to listen to/experience music the way other people I have discussed this topic with experience music. I recognize that there is an underlying meter, a rhythm, a beat, that allows a person to "follow the music;" the beat is also what people follow when they dance. I can force myself to identify and follow a beat, but it requires significant concentration on my part, is not what comes naturally to me, and is not how I enjoy listening to music. My attention often skips back and forth between different sounds, following the bass sounds for several moments because I enjoy that specific section, then switching focus to the crescendo of a violin, to the sound of the singer's voice, the drums, back to violin, bass, voice, a new sound.

By connecting colors, patterns, and material to specific aspects of a musical piece, I have attempted to create a depiction of my experience of the music.

(I also decided to leave the edges of the different photos I took, to give an impression of the number of images needed to create a decent representation of this weaving.)
