FACT: Donald trump's administration disbanded the U.S. Pandemic Response team in 2018, well before COVID struck and his deadly incompetence cost lives. Many people have forgotten this is part of his failed record, but I'm here to remind y'all. PASS IT ON.

Meanwhile, comics shows in Japan like comitia cost maybe $50-$75 for a table. It’s only one day, so usually ppl don’t need to fly in or book hotels for several nights. Thus, artists’ costs to participate in JP comics shows = less pressure to make profits.

One reason for US Artists Alley focus on making “merch” to sell vs making comics is that AA tables at big anime conventions are expensive. Add in travel & hotel costs, and amateur/semi-pro artist are spending minimum $1000 - $2000+ just to be there.

Meanwhile, when i go to comics/doujinshi shows in Japan like Comitia or Super Comics City — yes, ppl sell merch, but it’s primarily people selling printed comics. And the merch is mostly handmade/small production run goods.

One thing that makes me sad about the US manga creator ecosystem is how creators end up spending more time & creative energy making prints & “merch” to sell in artists alley vs making comics. The Kodansha editors fr JP noticed this diff too & were slightly puzzled by this.

Hot take. I like the small GI Joe and Star Wars figures better.

Now that I’ve read all the issues of Batman that @And_Sorrentino contributed to, I feel like there’s a pretty strong case that AI Art is being used. I’d love to be wrong about this, especially as the run has been so great, but it’s hard to avoid. I’ll explain in this thread:

Rest in peace to the manga legend Akira Toriyama. The artistry and monumental impact of Dragon Ball will live on in the hearts of fans and creators for generations to come.
