I don't think I have the time to get this together as a comic today. I don't know if I'd ever get it looking good.
But here's a rough layout before I've designed or shot any visuals. If anyone wants to illustrate this or rip this off, I'm giving you permission right now.

Text:

Serious Person: You act like you're an ally, but you're low-key terfy.

Screwball (Me): I am a bad ally.

Serious Person: Like, you play it like you're being nice but you call people "sweaty" & "hon"--
.
Serious Person: It's passive-aggressive!

Screwball (Me): Yeah.

Bystander A: Whom do you call sweaty and hon?

Screwball (Me): Sweaty huns.

Bystander B: Let's get down to business! To defeat!

Serious Person: No.

Did I lose two days of artistic output to compulsively arguing on Twitter with bozos so bizarrely racist that they can't stand to see a single black women in a Lord of the Rings spinoff? Yes, yes, I did.

I'm back in this outdoor set & wearing another variation of the Peek III bodysuit because I'm having trouble making myself do anything very new or complicated. And then I read this guy on Twitter & I just got ticked off.

Of course, visuals are a whole different process, so maybe it doesn't compare & I'm being unfair. But I have been "blocked" about a strip when I knew what I wanted to do!

So I designed a character back in June & forgot about her?
Um, I’m calling her Lana.
Wait, what notes do I have from June?
“…may be white.” Oh, wow, I don’t think she was finished.
OK. Lana it is.

I thought I had gotten Ella’s hair colour to mouse. Not red, not blonde, not (dark) brown, but a medium-value dull colour.
Render it with a pinkish light, & it looks sort of red. Auburn?

Also I lost a raytraced version to user error. But this will do.

I did this scene as an animation, but what would it look like as a comic strip? Well, something like this.

Nia: Well, I have a couple of very rough comic ideas. What should I work on?
Iris: I need to tell you my story!
Evdokía: I’m still mad at you!
Nia: Guuuh!

Too many ideas, not enough focus.

On a lighter note, I’m not sure when I last had this many high heels in an image.

My first strip in a long time, and I’m making a joke of someone’s identity! Lovely. e_e

Seriously, though, there are real problems with defining a category based on “marginalisation.” Are bisexual women too mainstream? Are you mogai if you’re just really, really kinky? I’ll stick with QUILTBAG, thanks.

And for those who don’t know, “mogwai” from a Chinese word for troublesome spirits, is the name of the little monsters in the Gremlins movies.

I’m not thrilled with this for a few reasons, but after fiddling with this scene for a while, I’m putting this composite up just to have a daily post.

Really more of a sketch, but it has panels of a kind, so, sure, call it a comic.

( Cut for exposed breasts. )

This is an odd strip, but this thing was bothering me. TV Tropes has an analysis page on the trope “Boobs of Steel,” where a strong woman (especially in comics and animation) is also drawn with large breasts. But I’ve noticed that some people don’t seem to understand the difference in real life.
