As you may know, I’ve been teaching an Arts Entrepreneurship class at Hussian School of Art in Philadelphia. And starting next semester, I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be teaching a class in Sequential Arts / Comics!
If you’re doing college planning, Hussian is offering an Open House this Saturday (10-2) and I’ll be there to answer any questions you might have — about the school or about my involvement in the curriculum. I’ve done these Open House days in the past, and it’s an excellent opportunity to sit down and get a great deal of important information in a relax, unrushed setting.
Hussian offers BFA degrees in Graphic Design, Visual Communication and Digital Media. The instructors are tremendous, and the tuition is reasonable (particularly compared to other art schools).
I’ve become quite a fan of Hussian. If you have any questions and you can’t show up on Saturday, feel free to get in touch. I’ll be happy to extend any information I can.

Today’s page takes us back to Ralph’s Diner, where Captain Heroic proves—once again—that nothing rattles him… not even a surprise soup bath.
Hailey is mortified, Captain Heroic is dripping, and somewhere across the diner, Yazmine Velour is livestreaming the whole thing as heart emojis rain from the internet. It’s a small moment, but one that says a lot about who Cap really is—and why people can’t help falling for him.
Transcript
Panel 1
Hailey (distraught that she has dumped hot soup on Captain Heroic): Omigod Omigod Omigod…
Captain Heroic (turning to another person eating at the diner): Excuse me. Would you hand me a napkin, please? (The person hands him a napkin)
Panel 2
Hailey: I’m so sorry Captain Heroic, sir. I didn’t mean to — {sob}
Panel 3
Captain Heroic (handing her the napkin): Here. Please don’t cry.
Panel 4
Captain Heroic (continues): Most of my first impressions involve disintegration rays. And actual impressions. In concrete.
Panel 5
Captain Heroic: This was far more pleasant — not counting the bay leaf in my shirt.Yazmine Velour (as she livestreams the interaction from the other side of the diner, a torrent of heart emojis flow from her phone as the audience reacts): Omigod Omigod Omigod
After Dark
This week's commissioned MicroFic delivers exactly what you’d want from a pairing between Dynasty and Father Christmas.
-
Yes, he lives up to his name.
-
Yes, Dynasty knew exactly what she was doing.
-
No, the North Pole will never be the same.
I also posted the Goblin Girl MicroFic from the Monster Girl poll — and the response was so good, I might need to make these poll-powered MicroFics a recurring thing!
