It's about a Bitcoiner Superhero who was unjustly imprisoned and comes out of prison with a fat stack of sats and a yearning for justice. He uses the methods of the criminals to do good in a country where the criminals are in power and the only justice comes from the vigilantes. Check out the art on https://ratelcomic.com/

GM Nostr, what are you working on this week?

https://m.primal.net/LNrE.jpg


Funny you should say that, my old Marvel card collection was the inspiration

https://m.primal.net/LNIK.jpg


I played a version of this in Nashville, they really upped their game! (pun intented)


I had them made by PrimoPrint, they did a great job! These serve as a test and prototype for future cards that will come with the comics as part of an upcoming campaign.  With a modest QR code, you can still use most of the real estate on the card for something beautiful and collectible!


First prototype cards arrived, gonna hand these out like business cards #artstr #comicstr

No thought? I had that acid bath death scene looping in my head!! lol, and I don't regret a second of it


The death scenes in this movie are downright traumatic for kids, I can't believe they made a cartoon of this. No wonder Gen-X doesn't get triggered

I 'm now using #Krita to color my comic and it's saving me some time. Creating flats (selecting shapes and adding an arbitrary color) is time consuming and not very creative. With the colorize filter you can scribble in your colors and Krita does the rest #comics #comicstrhttps://m.primal.net/JLgk.png https://m.primal.net/JLgl.png


I always reply to these types of posts on FB but there's never a reaction to it. People can't think for themselves and have already gotten the NPC "download" about Bitcoin, therefore they choose to ignore it ... at their own  peril

The explanation is easy. Before Bitcoin we could only stack chairs waiting for hard money to be invented. All those who stacked and traded up are high rolling it today.

This nation wide protest led by Canadian Truckers driving to Ottawa in 2022, sporting Canadian flags and honking as crowds of supporters assembled on and around countless overpasses along their route to cheer them on. This was the only significant form of protest against the vaccine mandates which were escalating to threats of taxation and even imprisonment for those refusing the shots.

The truckers parked near the Parliament in Ottawa and held their ground honking peacefully as supporters and their families began to join the protest. Police reported the streets being the safest and cleanest they've ever been as the warm, loving environment was maintained by protesters fighting for their rights.

The truckers asked to meant with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who announced he had contracted COVID-19 and fled the city. The protest was eventually broken up when mercenaries were flown in to beat the protesters away.

I added my first entry into the Wikifreedia for my medium of choice: Comics
https://wikifreedia.xyz/comics/a6230ed2c2cb6c9240


Comics, dubbed "Sequential Art" by Will Eisner and referred to as "Graphic Novels" when consisting of complete stories, known as "Bandes Dessinées" in France and throughout Europe and as "Manga" in Japan, is regarded as the 9th art as proposed by Claude Beylie in 1964 in the popular classification of the arts.

I'd make sure they are drawing things that they are passionate about so they keep their enthousiasme. I'd have a look at the spots that most need improvement (proportions, structure, rendering different textures, composition, anatomy) and give them tips that would enable them to make progress.

I find people have already made up their mind about Bitcoin at this point and it's getting harder to orange pill them. I started making a comic in the hopes of reaching the next generation while they're still open-minded and have a desire to avoid the pitfalls of an economic downfall.
