Okay this isn't really related to anything but as I was just looking through submissions from the amazing artists that I watch, there's a comic page for a comic that only gets updated once in a blue moon.

Obviously it would be nice if the pace were faster but I don't mind as I know it's gonna become a good comic. And you can't blame the artist! I can do paper-and-pencil sketches of reasonable quality, and even though I'm no   zp92 it takes me a fuckton of time and effort to render one page of sketches, let alone a structured comic.

My thought is: we degenerates love celebrating fetishes and franchises and whatnot, so I say we mark a calendar day for the appreciation of hand-drawn art, digital or traditional. After all, with the epidemic of low-effort AI slop (just look at DeviantArt, they lean into it!) some people just need to know how much effort gets put into a single sheet of paper or 1000x1000 pixel grid or whatever.

I'm thinking around January or February when it's still cozy winter but everyone's forgotten about Christmas, or maybe around August or September when nothing else really happens (as far as I'm aware!!) But obviously it doesn't need to matter :)
