This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
Team Shin
December 18, 2018
Hey everyone! Let's welcome Shin into the madness! They are not intended to be a Deadpool like forth wall breaker, I just couldn't resist. Maybe they hear the upstairs neighbor getting into some shit, who knows.
Bo is an intentional real world spelling of Bow. I know I fuck up on spelling quite a bit, but for once I did it on purpose!
With the holidays coming around and family visiting, I still fully intend to keep updating on Tuesdays. Something will be up. And it should be a comic in some form. But if it ends up being a sketch or a fanart or something quick, just know that us cartoonists have families around holiday time, too. Though, if I'm being honest, sometimes cartooning is a great excuse to hide away from everyone for a little bit.
ALLY
Ugh, I could fucking use a romance detective right about now.
KANE
Jamie is definitely enthusiastic. But I think she?d burn us out with her unbridled enthusiasm.

BODIE
Mags has the technical skills.
ALLY
I? kinda get a stabby spy vibe from her.

KANE
Tendou, I don?t think we?re good enough for him. Or at least he seems to think so.
ALLY
Jack and that other doctor both seemed over and under qualified at the same time. They must be really good at what they do, but marketing isn?t it.

BODIE
Johnny is like a time capsule of toxic masculinity from the 80?s. I don?t think he?s a good culture fit for us.
ALLY
Bo is such a sweetie, I think we would break him. Real bad.

KANE
Shin? They hacked, slash, fixed our site. Clearly they did their research and are familiar with our work.
ALLY
It?s kind of a bold move and would probably get you kicked out the door anywhere else. But we did ask for someone to help promote our dope ass shit.

BODIE
I admit, I was pissed at first. But shit, we should have fixed that as soon as we went live. I like their initiative.
ALLY
Team Shin?
KANE
Team Shin!
