An Announcement

Hello, I have, reluctantly, removed all images uploaded to DeviantArt over the past 15 years. I have been a Core Member in the past, but I'm aware that lapsed a while ago. The images were, largely, artworks connected with projects I have either written or edited. While I appreciate DeviantArt has taken steps to protect art from being included in its "DreamUp" AI learning program, I don't feel it is appropriate for me to continue to feature others work here, despite the "safeguards" announced. I'm sorry if this disappoints. I'm even sorrier I had to choose to do this. Thank you for reading.

You may also be already thinking about Christmas (some people do, advertisers, mainly), so you may also like to check out this year’s crop of annuals, which are invading bookshops at a steady pace right now: downthetubes.net/?p=24321

Here are some gems I’ve discovered on the Tapastic web comics platform which I think downthetubes readers might enjoy. All the strips mentioned here are free to read, but creators need to achieve 500 subscribers before they can start to reach out to their audience and offer Patreon-style goodies in return for financial backing: downthetubes.net/?p=24288Exploring the Tapastic web comic platform  by johnfsfreeman
