Hi! I'm a comics creator, cartoonist, furry artist, industrial designer and sometimes animator. I used to go by the name "Cooner," but that name's been retired. Please call me Walden! 🩵

Pardon my French, but seriously, fuck these fucking ignorant fucking racist fuckers. 😤

The idea of the AI developer as someone burgeoning with wonderful, never before seen ideas who just needed the tools to realize them is by and large a fantasy. The reality of the AI developer is someone producing spam at volume who has no ideas of their own, so just clone something popular.

My thinking at the time was partly, yes, to give those small studios a second chance. But also, if big corporations knew they’d be on the hook to financially help the studio go independent later on, they might think twice about making all these acquisitions unless they REALLY wanted them long-term.

Holy sh*t. Just a few weeks ago I was fantasizing there oughta be a law that if a company/studio gets bought and then the purchaser decides to dissolve it, they should be given some kind of assisted option to spin itself off independently again first.

I'm open for 2 commissions! Base prices are on the sheet, other options are available too for a negotiable price, and additional fees may apply for complexity! Links to my Terms of Service and its TL:DR version with general info are here: linktr.ee/MagnificentC... Examples in the subposts!

I’ve been re-reading “The Neverending Story.” Just got thru the chapter where the dying werewolf Gmork explains the nature of humans and lies to Atreyu. It’s … chilling. 😰

RIP Richard Riehle. I hope he’s finally able to develop his Jump … to Conclusions mat up in heaven. (More obscure, he was also Buffy’s first Watcher in a flashback in the TV series. And much more.)

When I’m typing “pasta fagioli,” autofill consistently wants to suggest “pasta fajitas” first. Now … that’s some weird fusion cuisine right there. 🤔

F’real tho, I worked with Toby Bluth in the mid-90s. He was an absolutely sweetheart, sharing, full of great stories, and gay in the classic theatrical 50s way. He did art for Disney AND did a lot of erotic gay art. Sadly he died in 2013 after a stroke … I wish I’d kept better contact with him. 😞

Kinda curious if they’ll cover the part where Don disowned his brother Toby (an amazing artist in his own right) for being gay and would tell family friends that Toby had died 🤔

Guy restocking produce, seeing me standing paralyzed staring: “You looking for anything in particular?” Me: “Nah, I’m just fighting with myself over whether to buy myself a caramel apple.” Guy, confidently: “Friend, buy yourself a caramel apple.” And so, here we are. 😋

The thing I don’t get about AI-generated menus is that with the combined technologies of smartphone cameras and color laser printers, there has NEVER been an easier time or lower barrier of entry for ANY mom-and-pop shop to have decent photos of their food.

1 Zacharia <= 1 Semi-Scaramucci

NEW RECORD: Katie Zacharia was fired today after just 5 days on the job — cutting Anthony Scaramucci’s infamous 10-day tenure in half. The Mooch has officially been out-Mooched.

Generally: •Some of my projects are horny NSFW. (i.e. some Coyena Comics) •Some projects are SFW cuz I want them approachable by a wide audience who may not want or may be too young for NSFW. (My Bigger Boyfriend, et,al.) •My Patreon is currently SFW because I refuse to submit to verification. 1/2

tapping the sign again: no, sanitizing queer spaces of “problematic art” was never going to discourage them from censoring & criminalizing us, their goal isn’t “acceptable” queer expression, it’s none at all. wake the fuck up & stop projecting your discomfort onto others.

•Personally there’s a lot of kinks I’m just not into, and I’m not usually interested in extremely hard-core stuff. •But I will NEVER support the censorship or sanitation of ANY porn or adult material just for its mere existence. Incompatible with a free society. 2/2

This is FIRE 🔥

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

I won’t pay for Adobe and I have no interest in a vibe-coded Adobe clone. HOWEVER I do appreciate the possibility of, after their having publicly and definitively gone ALL IN on genAI, seeing Adobe sweat over AI-created competition. 👏
