5, 17, 20?

I already answered 17, so I will just answer 5 and 20!

5) What's your drink of choice? (Coffee/tea order, alcohol of choice, pop, etc)

w... water........!!! I don't like coffee, I don't like tea, I very rarely drink alcohol but ONLY if it tastes like candy, and even then it gives me a headache. I don't like carbonation so soda is not my fav, I always sip on a soda long enough for it to be hella flat and watered down cuz the ice is all melted... I like lemonade if I'm getting a drink at a fast food place, and I love fruit smoothies!!! Hot chocolate is also a fav but it's kinda a pain to make and it doesn't last long enough............

20) what do you wish someone would ask you?

I wish someone would ask me about my Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde collection (wink)

2 and 17 for the ask meme! :3

2) What movie have you watched most recently? What did you think of it?

Marty Supreme (2025)! I liked it a lot! It was so stressful and also a great character movie featuring an absolute bastard. So many spinning plates and shoes waiting to drop. It's about ping-pong but it's not about ping-pong.

17) do you believe in luck and superstition? Do you carry any lucky items or follow any lucky rules?

I think I go back and forth on luck. Sometimes I swear I can feel when something good is going to happen, like if I'm going to win a raffle or something. But most of the time I don't think it's actually a measurable factor of the universe - it's all random bullshit, you know? I don't have any lucky items I keep on me. I do, however, knock the roof of the car when the light turns yellow while driving through an intersection (a habit I picked up from friends).

Superstition is also not really something I put a lot of thought or weight into, tho. I think about broken glass and opening umbrellas inside or whatever if they come up, but I don't actually think these things are going to effect my life in any significant way.

8 and 9 for the ask game, Boss!

8) favorite month of the year and why? October because I'm a halloween loving bitch!!!!!

9) favorite time of day and why? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 10AM because if I manage to wake up early enough to see it it feels like the day is so long and full of possibility! it's also not too early for my late-rising ass to be grumpy and tired all day if that's when I roll out of bed...

Since I answered 11 I'll just do 3 and 15!

3) What are you looking forward to right now?

BEING HOME!! Am on the last hour of a 12 hour road trip after a 2 week vacation for the holidays. It was fun but I miss my bed and my cats!!

I'm also looking forward to getting back to comics because vacations are fun but drawing comics is more fun!!

And I'm looking forward to Friend Christmas, which is second Christmas with local buddies after everyone returns home from the holidays! >:3 (gonna get your ass, Nora)

15) What's a piece of advice you find yourself giving a lot?

I get a lot of questions about "starting" a webcomic, from friends, readers, peers, fans, etc and I give the same answer every time. It's kinda the opposite of what other people recommend tho...

Instead of starting with a "short" or "easy" project, start with the project that you're excited about. Enthusiasm and energy is a huge part of maintaining motivation. If you don't care that much about an idea but it's manageable... you probably won't do it cuz it's not fun! Let your brain make the fun thing so you get hooked on making comics forever like I did >:]

Non-art related advice I give out a lot:

"You can't read people's minds, so stop assuming you know what/why and just ask them."

"Believe people when they tell you something. If they say they're not mad/sad/upset it isn't your job to prove that they're lying about their feelings. Its up to them to communicate if they are hurt or need help from you. See above re: mind reading."

"You should consider finding a therapist." (lol)

11 for the ask game boss 🫡

YOU GOT IT BOSS 🫡

11) what kind of music is stuck in your head a lot lately?

Hard to answer as I'm listening to music on this road trip right now so don't have an intrusive song in my head... but I've been listening to a lot of Flavor Foley (weathergirl gets stuck in my head VERY easy).

I was helping clear out some of RJ's grandma's unwanted items over this holiday season and pocketed a ton of old CDs. One of them was a Bee Gees greatest hits. I sung a very short amount of "Stayin' Alive" and then it was stuck in our heads for the rest of the afternoon.

Also hymns, after going to a Christmas Eve service. Oh Come All Ye Faithful still hits, I'm afraid.

Anonymous asked:

Hiya, my friend and I had a question about the legality of murder in the Murder Club universe ^^. Is it the general act of killing someone that's allowed or is the Murder Club company treated like an exception since those are hired assassins who kill as a job and for America's entertainment?

Like, can any rando just stab some other rando and it'll be fine or do they have to work for the murder entertainment company to be allowed to do that? It was kinda a back-n-forth in my brain since it seems that killings are a common occurrence (duh) yet there's still a lot of behind-the-scenes paperwork for it like what Holly was doing in Episode 1.

Thanks for the question! Fans of my work who have read my other comic BACKLASH know that I'm an extremely slow world-builder. I try to establish rules naturally through actions and dialogue, and loathe lore-dumps and prologues that are just long lists of rules for a given setting, lol.

That to say, this is a good question, and since it's not spoilers and will be shown over the course of upcoming episodes I don't mind clarifying this for you and your friend!

Killing is still a crime unless you are a contracted assassin with Murder Club. They have a license to kill, but only their contracts. If an assassin kills someone that isn't their target, they can be tried just like any regular civilian. If someone not involved with Murder Club kills someone, it is illegal and they will face the full force of the law.

Death, violence and killing is a common occurrence in this America, just like the America I live in today. Americans are desensitized to acts of violence (war/conflict, murder, gun violence, domestic terrorism, police brutality, etc.), so Murder Club's America takes that reality and turns the dial up to be farcical (public executions of 'criminals' live on TV, as well as all the other violence we already experience every day). America has always loved blood sport, and Murder Club is the newest iteration of that longstanding tradition.

Hello! Sorry for my English, but I have a question: is it possible to translate the comic "Murder Club"?

Avatar

Hello! Thank you for your question. ♥

I have asked Webtoon Support about possible translations for Murder Club, but unfortunately there are no concrete answers for it at this time.

Webtoon had a long standing fan-translation program, but they are shutting it down. That means there aren't any official avenues through Webtoon to make translations of Murder Club (or any Original series) at this time.

I encourage readers and fans who would like official translations of Murder Club to email Webtoon expressing their interest for one. If they know there is a demand, there is a higher chance they will provide translations. (Include the language you'd like to see it in!)

In the meantime, I simply do not see fan translations of my series that happen to be hosted on external sites. (😉)
