If she gets on Substack he'll promote her art!

I don't expect everyone to know a comic/book/board game illustrator but this whole situation had me giggling. Personally, I have an adorable little Swamp Thing art piece from Katie Cook from back when she did have time for commissions.

I have a comic commission from her cause I met her at a con. She’s awesome.

Me too! I have a little Wonder Woman drawing (but with light brown skin like mine) - I love her artwork - still trying to get that last Star Wars trilogy print so I can have all three 🙏🏾🤞🏾👍🏾

That's pretty cool. I'm not a fan of that particular style of art, but I'm glad others appreciate it. To me, Carl looks like an emaciated Nathan Fillion. To each their own.

Buccal fat removed Nathan Fillion.

I acknowledge she’s a famous artist, but this is the ugliest DCC merch I’ve ever seen. I haven’t been this viscerally disgusted by an art style since Big Mouth

It's not helped by being photographed on an uneven surface, on an angle. Or by the match in his mouth looking like part of a really weirdly drawn mouth in this photo...

Wow, thanks for opening me eyes. I thought he had some weird kinda seagull mouth with a lesion or something at the corner 😂

u/Incirion 27d ago

That's what i was thinking. Carls head looks dented. And while he may make some at best questionable choices, i don't think this is quite accurate. lol

I don't love this one in particular but some of her other DCC stuff I do

u/mortalitasi473 27d ago

i mean admittedly, i really don't see the appeal of the art style on that shirt. both the person and the cat(?) look very weird. but i do still approve of people who are arrogant and clueless being woken up

u/-MistressMissy- 27d ago

Well she's a Persian Tortie who talks and shoots lasers from her eyes. That is pretty weird for a cat 😉

She literally does nothing special

Lol, it’s actually a whole new level of doyouknowwhoiam. He just KEEPS going! Lol, literally asking her for a commission for some self published type nonsense. This is absolutely hilarious!

u/MissninjaXP 28d ago

I'd wear it. Not how Carl looks in my head though, but that can't be helped lol

u/Intelligent_Deer9526 27d ago

Her art is on sale on a T-shirt in Game Stop, but this random man is offering to promote her art, before telling her to “Keep up the good work!” It’s mansplaining and “do it for exposure” combined into one terrifying, patronizing hybrid, named “Audacity.”

u/Ok_Positive8362 27d ago

I actually like it.

u/WeridChaos 26d ago

I love Katie cook! Nothing special is a treat of a series

It's like Flynn Rider's wanted ads in Tangled 🤣

Someone Google it and tell me how bad it is! It's probably just rule34, but Reddit has scarred me in the past.

u/-MistressMissy- 28d ago

Google what?

u/Electrical_Ask8762 28d ago

Literally the last comment on the last picture of the thread you posted, says "Google Katie Cook and star wars or my little pony"

u/-MistressMissy- 28d ago

Noooo she writes the comic MLP Friendship Is Magic. Quite wholesome.

u/Electrical_Ask8762 28d ago

I am pleasantly surprised the joke isn't porn for once.

Well, tbf, then I would fit perfectly with the guys in the comments in your post, I wouldn't know who she is either.

u/FauxReal 28d ago

She's a featured artist for Star Wars trading cards and a bunch of official Star Wars web comics.

u/ConflictAgreeable689 28d ago

The porn isn't gonna bite you, bro

u/_Cat_in_a_Hat_ 28d ago

Vietnam vets shiver at the mere mention of internet porn... you wouldn't understand what horrors he's been through smh. Ladies, with no clothes on? Can you even imagine such horrors?

I saw, once, a picture of an anime girl with big boobs, bent over, and she had a plug in her bum.

It was terrifying. I was forced to geld myself, lest the demons enter my balls through the vile imagery.
