What Did We Learn From Covid?

These days, a conventional wisdom has settled in that we somehow overreacted to Covid. That our response went too far, and we are now past those silly times. Here's the lesson to take away: we didn't do enough. Trump's response was idiotic and catastrophic (does anyone remember him saying blue state governors "have to treat us well" if they want coronavirus help?). Over 1.1 million Americans have died. Countless lives have been shattered by Long Covid. We let the virus be politicized by opportunists, and allowed false narratives about governments "controlling" us to dominate our media. The hard choices that were made to prevent even more death and suffering are now, ludicrously, seen as mistakes.

Serious: Through the Fog - The Mayamada Universe Reacts to the Pandemic with an Uplifting Story about Community, Support and Collaboration

Serious: Through the Fog – The Mayamada Universe Reacts to the Pandemic with an Uplifting Story about Community, Support and Collaboration

It would be remiss of me to describe “British manga” specialists mayamada as simply a micropublisher. Besides establishing an inter-related comics universe of their own through successful crowdfunding, their wider activities include podcasts, community projects and work with young people. While this piece is a review of their most recent comic Serious: Through the Fog you can find out more about…

a few years ago, when i was trying to remember the things that make it worth it

#i drew dis #i guess I’m gonna post some stuff as i go thru the backlogs of personal art on my ipad #i drew a LOT of stuff over the pandemic that wasn’t for anyone except me #and never posted it anywhere #and it was so nice? #journal comics

So one of my skits is going to feature the Batfam during the pandemic

It was going to feature someone trying to break out of the manor but then I realized…There’s Tim Drake…

The world is under quarantine…

And he has no spleen….

Bro is freaking out meanwhile Damian pretends to cough anytime he sees him walk by and Bernard tries to sneak in but Jason goes nuts on him for trying to ‘get down with the sickness’.

Stephanie is texting him from her apartment while Dick freaks out and starts disinfecting… everything…

Alfred is old so Bruce basically screams at everyone to do their own shit and walk the opposite direction of the man if they haven’t gotten tested yet.

Talia starts arguing with Bruce that Damian would be safer from COVID if he stayed with her in the mountains and the only reason Damian won’t leave is because she won’t let him bring all however many of his animals.

Selena turns into an alcoholic in the basement and gets mad at Bruce for talking to the mother of his youngest son but then remembers she can get drinks and never full signed the prenup so it’s fine.

Meanwhile Jason contemplates if he rather have the disease or spend another day in this house with these people.

Is there any chance of Flowerpot ever returning, of so, do you have an approximate date? I love your world and would love to read more of them!!!

Hello there, and thank you so much for your love for Flowerpot!

As much as I love Ben, his story, and the world of Flowerpot, I've become a lot less inclined to return to it now that we're living through a real pandemic. Part of me is worried that I won't be able to handle the themes/setting sensitively enough (or even if I could, I don't know if what I'd be saying is meaningful enough to use such a sensitive allegory), but more importantly, I don't think the comic would be enjoyable for me to make. I'm not the type of author who likes to transparently incorporate personal struggles or real-life experiences into my stories, and unfortunately, a pandemic has become a real-life experience for me.

While I never want to completely exclude the possibility, I will say that it's not a high-ranking option for my next project

#ask #flowerpot comic #i feel bad because i left fp promising to return #but also 2017 me didn't know we'd be living through a pandemic

2020

Was anyone else just super preoccupied with cleaning during the pandemic? I didn't used to spend so much time at home and it's remarkable how much debris accumulates in a tiny apartment even after a day

(the dancing was a Truly Decentralized Dance Party which was a nice evening but something I felt too embarrassed to keep up with tbh)

Here’s a giant full page comic I made for the newspaper during the beginning of the pandemic! Unfortunately, it required so much overtime that I barely made the deadline. 🥲

I tried my best to capture Sibling Dynamics™️. Let me know if I succeeded!

... i am... so internally irritated, where the fuck is this energy to pump out this level of 1st pass panel layout for my own comics? where??? where is she ?? ?

i’m kidding I know why, i’m working with established IP with parameters I’m already familiar with and  not crawling aimlessly in the desert of the vast sandbox of original ideas where I crabwalk from oasis to oasis

snacku tmnt au brainrot: pt.1 | pt.2 | pt.3

#tmnt au #tmnt au comic #au hell #but fuck me how did I pump five 1st passes in the span of 3 some hours #How I'd've had april meet the turtles #she'll run into them again during midautumn festival #I have no idea where the Ai Yazawa came peeking out from #not mad tho she was an inspiration to me #brazenly elder millennial on main #April and Leo were 10 here #Raph is 9 #Donnie is 7 #Mikey is 5 #Splinter memorized April's face already #He knows his sons will need friends in the future #where do you think Leo learned strategic thinking from #...all this came from Rise reawakening the place TMNT had in my heart #the power Rise has #rip to all the kids who originally followed 'cuz of the Rise fanart I did #but rip to all the comic concepts I was boasting I'd do (and then the pandemic hit)(and then I fell back in love with a bunch of turtles) #hahahahahahha (pained)

ALL YOUR BREATH ARE BELONG TO US.

This whole thing is based on the All Your Base Are Belong To Us meme. The warning at the beginning is because a.) the music is a subgenre of hardcore techno known as gabber and kind of loud, in case you are unfamiliar with this kind of EDM and/or the song in the original video, and, b.) concerns such as photosensitive epilepsy (at one point, 16 images appear in just under four seconds).

More background beneath cut.

(Writeup also posted on dreamwidth and post about video also shared on zeroes; video on Vimeo and on YouTube as well.)

A rundown on the content of the vid:

The images of the wolf are from the seventh episode of the fourth episode of The Simpsons, Marge Gets a Job; it is a wolf startled by LOUD NOISES. Then it's Cats from Zero Wing (the video game central to the All Your Base Are Belong To Us meme) with a SARS-CoV-2 virion for a face. And the poster for the 2017 film The Shape of Water (see also on zeroes). Then it's the webcomic Dinosaur Comics! (Thanks, Ryan!) Next a reference to the slipcase for White Town (Jyoti Mishra)'s Your Woman. (Just added a mask to the picture of the cat with the thumbs up; I am afraid I am unaware of the origin of the original cat meme...) Then it's the first page of All's Well, that Ends Well from the First Folio of Shakespeare's plays, published in 1623. And then the scene from the 2022 film Glass Onion when Lionel Toussaint holds up a faxed message from Miles Bron: "Uber for Biospheres". Next, a reference blog/webcomic Hyperbole and a Half and a panel for one comic where the author portrays an initial manic enthusiasm when cleaning up: "CLEAN ALL THE THINGS".

The original Doge photo. (See also: DOGE on tumblr, DOGE on zeroes.)

And The Quest of the Virosols!!! I really appreciate these graphics. (Please note, I am not affiliated with the Aerosol Science Research Center, I am publicly disseminating useful information for educational purposes; All Your Breath Are Belong To Us is a PSA <3)

The record is based on Otis Rush's "All Your Love" and "COVID" was "Cobra" (see also: some images used to construct).

The Sudden Clarity Clarence meme!

An animation of a diaphragm exhaling and inhaling (with the little purple virosols added!)

And then False Knees Comic 296! (Thanks, Joshua!) (I am once again reminding you that I am not affiliated with the Aerosol Science Research Center.)

And the next six images are the only memes I've not made in this vid (and the person who added the masks to pictures of these images has approved the use of them in this video; thank you!)

Fruit by Alphonse Mucha (Source.)

Le Désespéré by Gustave Courbet (Source.)

Autoportrait by Tamara de Lempicka (Source.)

Trop tôt by James Tissot (Source.)

Autorretrato con Collar de Espinas by Frida Kahlo (Source.)

A photo of the models for Grant Wood's American Gothic standing beside the painting itself. (Source.)

Then the poster for the 1994 film The Mask. (See also on zeroes.) Next a scene from Datalore, the thirteenth episode of the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

And a reference to a version of the album cover for Vangelis' 1985 album Mask. (See also: Vangelis' Mask (1985) is not to be confused with Vangelis' mask (Ninjago), which is a face cover worn by King Vangelis of the Kingdom of Shintaro (for like, a moment [while trying to find info about the album cover], I thought the Greek composer and arranger of electronic, progressive, ambient, and classical orchestral music had an alter ego known as the Skull Sorcerer, but apparently not). [mirror on zeroes])

Aaaaand the Original Goncharov shoe!!! (See also.) Then the 1984 film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind [風の谷のナウシカ "kaze no tani no naushika"]; the character Nausicaä wears this mask in the original film. Next, an image of a number of risks, originally published by the CDC.

Steamed Hams. (See also: ...and you call for "cleaned hands" despite the fact COVID is obviously airborne... [mirror on zeroes])

(I am once again reminding you that I am not affiliated with the Aerosol Science Research Center.)

GEORDI LA FORGE! (See also: Hand washing as but one component of a "Swiss cheese model" composed of preventative measures including personal actions [such as wearing a well-fitting mask, physical distancing, avoiding crowds, and "staying home when sick"], as well as public measures [such as standards for ventilation and air filtration of indoor spaces, effective messaging on disease prevention, and reliable support for those needing to "stay home sick"], mitigations which, when used in combination, significantly reduce the spread of airborne disease.)

WEDNESDAY FROG MEME! (See also: It is Airborne, my dudes. [mirror on zeroes])

S'CHN T'GAI SPOCK! (See also: logic clearly dictates that SARS-CoV-2 spreads via infected breath [and can remain suspended in the air, travelling inside tiny specs of moisture, floating like smoke or mist]; therefore, COVID is airborne; mask up, live long, and prosper [mirror on zeroes])

The woman yelling at a cat meme.

The Is This a Pigeon? meme. (See also: "Droplets" are basically spittle, falling to the ground not far from the source [the infected person's mouth]. "Aerosols" are pretty much breath, tiny particles of infectious virus-containing-moisture that can remain suspended in the air [able to float distances greater than a metre]. [mirror on zeroes])

Darmok and Jalad at 2 metres! (See also: 2 metres physical distance helps you to avoid droplets [infected spittle] but "COVID is airborne" and floats like cigarette smoke, so even 2 metres still means a risk of airborne transmission [from infected breath]. Like Tanagra, 2 metres from a potential source of infection is still a place of potential danger. [mirror on zeroes])

Napoleon Dynamite (the shirt with "COVID IS AIRBORNE" originally says "VOTE FOR PEDRO"). (See also: I spent last summer making Corsi-Rosenthal Box filters, like, fifty of 'em! The SARS-CoV-2 floating in the air kept trying to attack my cousins, what the heck would you do in a situation like that? [mirror on zeroes])

Pokemon! (See also: if COVID aerosols/breath builds up somewhere indoors that isn't well ventilated, and the air is not filtered well enough, you may get sick even after an infected person has left the room. [mirror on zeroes])

AVATAR. (And yes, the font used for "AIRBORNE" is Papyrus.) (I am once again asking you to remember that I am not affiliated with the Aerosol Science Research Center.)

GONCHAROV!!! GONCHAROV!!! (Thanks Beelz!) (See also: Written by Mattwo JWHJ 0715. [mirror on zeroes])

The Always has been meme. (See also: Aerosols/breath (tiny bits of infected moisture) can remain suspended in the air and are able to float distances greater than a metre. [mirror on zeroes])

(I am once again asking you to remember that I am not affiliated with the Aerosol Science Research Center.) Aside from the images which just are what the are (e.g. the CDC infographic, the ASRC graphics), and the six images related to paintings, all memes were put together by yours truly. <3 The song was, originally, "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" by the Laziest Men on Mars, which sampled music created by Tatsuya Uemura and Noriyuki Iwadare.

Re-writing of lyrics, and the audio and video editing, were also my doing; REAPER for the audio editing, GNU Image Manipulation Program for the meme making, Shotcut for the video editing.

Quarantine Comix: A Memoir of Life in Lockdown - Rachael Smith's Account of the Early Days of the Pandemic Remains One of the Most Remarkable Achievements in Post-Millennial British Comics

Quarantine Comix: A Memoir of Life in Lockdown – Rachael Smith’s Account of the Early Days of the Pandemic Remains One of the Most Remarkable Achievements in Post-Millennial British Comics

“One of 2020’s most remarkable achievements in comics” was how I described Quarantine Comix, Rachael Smith’s autobiographical series of comic strips a year or two back at Broken Frontier. Originally created as a response to the early months of the pandemic, with one new strip being published online on a daily basis from March 2020, it was Smith’s attempt to process her own feelings about those…
