I’m really glad that KC Green’s work is being more widely recognized after the whole “This is not fine” comic came out.
He’s been in the comic making game for a really long time and he has…a bit of a knack for creating things that are used as reaction images and never credited back to him.
He’s a really cool guy and a great artist and I HIGHLY recommend following his work.
i feel like its important to add that hes also responsible for dickbutt. thats an important part of his resume
Some lesser known KC Green Career Highlights:
honestly I swear he’s like. the best at unintentionally making reaction images
He also did the “I guess!” comic, didn’t he?
We’ve all been fans of KC Green this whole time and never even knew
there’s also THIS classic, which is usually reduced to this:
for a reaction image
a majority of these comics come from KC’s Gunshow! It’s over now but it ran for a loooong time and has an amazing archive of his comics. I HIGHLY recommend reading through it all, it’s a goldmine
He’s currently working on a new comic called Back with Anthony Clark. It’s about a gunslinger named Abigail who is destined to bring about the end of the world, except she kind of just does her own thing. It’s very good and very funny!
yes Back is excellent and he also does a strange, dark comic about an anthropomorphic acorn, entitled He Is A Good Boy.
Every one of those reaction images is also 10x funnier in the context of their original comics.
its kinda scary how your whole life depends on how well you do as a teenager
oh my god No it doesn’t don’t put this kind of pressure on people?? you can absolutely fuck up in your teen years and continue on to a good life just fine. you can drop out of school, get a GED, still go to college and finish your degree as late as you want. i know people in my school who still haven’t graduated and they’re 26. some older. you can always transfer someplace else, always build yourself up from the ground. after a certain amount of college credits, a lot of schools really don’t care about your high school GED or your SAT scores anymore. if you fuck up in your teenage years you are not a failure!! you can ALWAYS re-invent yourself, always start over. there is always a second chance.
Reblogging this for my followers freaking out over art school/college. I dropped out of high school and never thought I’d get into college as easily as I did. You will be fine!
Fun story my biology professor just told us: When he was 23 he was married to his wife and worked two jobs to support them since she was in college: gas station attendant and construction worker. He worked these two jobs because that was the only work he could get since he was at the reading level of a third grader.
One night he was writing something and his wife noticed he was writing from right to left. Since she was studying occupational therapy she realized he had a learning disability and started working with him. He slowly began to learn to read, and at 26 got his GED and went to college.
His first year of college he took the lowest level math course he could take, 001. Over the years he worked on learning what he needed to, ended up graduating with a biology degree. He then went on to get his masters and PhD, graduating at the top of his class. He is now an extremely accomplished biologist and professor.
So don’t let anyone tell you that you’re future is based on your choices as a teenager.
Seriously. Do not believe this. You aren’t even stuck with your choices you make in your 20s. I didn’t start working in my current field until just after my 30th birthday. It has nothing to do with what I went to school for in my 20s. My husband has a political science degree, and he’s a sports journalist.
You are not tied to anything. Go. Be.
My day job did not exist when I was a teenager. And the idea of trying to be an author was a distant thing on my radar. I thought I was going to be an English teacher. And then I thought I was going to be a music teacher. And then I thought I was going to be a drama teacher.
Also in there: therapist, early childhood educator, then finally: web developer–because by then it was an actual thing that existed. I didn’t actually figure out what I “wanted to do when I grew up” until about eight years ago, when I was 36. I tried pursuing writing when I was 30, stopped, then started pursuing it seriously again when I was 40.
There is always time to change. And don’t let anyone tell you that high school is “the best time of your life” either, because that’s bullshit too.
Reblogging for my followers. My high school teachers didn’t know what to do with me, and I failed everything but a low photography grade. I thought university wasn’t for me, and settled for marrying a mediocre man who spent all day on Warcraft. Then I went to community college. Now I’m in uni doing a double English and philosophy degree, just back from America. I am also single.
Also important: College is not the only option. Don’t let anyone try to tell you it is. If you’re not academically inclined, the trades are an option and they are a good option– if the only thing you think you’re good at is make-up do that. There are people who can live comfortably just doing make-up. We have this idea planted in our heads as teenagers (and younger) that not fitting into an academic mould of some sort means you’re failing at life and this is bullshit. There’s no reason to feel like you’re “failing at life” because you don’t like school or were never good at it. We need skilled workers in the world, and the thing they don’t tell you is all work is skilled work. If it’s work, it takes skill. Yes, this encompasses “service” jobs, it encompasses all jobs. Please don’t think that what you do, or what you have an interest in doing is of less value than something that requires a college education. This coming from the college-educated white girl who is a seamstress because it’s what I enjoy. If college isn’t going to get you where you want to go, than you don’t need to go! It’s that simple. Take whatever path you need to get to where you are happy and comfortable and fufilled. If you’re doing what you love you are sucessful.
i didn’t graduate with my bachelor’s until i was 26 and life took a few turns along the way but now, at 37, i have a job that makes me genuinely happy. and it’s got nothing to do with how well i did in high school.
This! This make me cry… I’m 23 and I really don’t know where I’m going, so reading this kinds of storys makes me feel hope!
I love all this support and inspiring stories, but what I think op was getting at was that our teachers/parents/elders ingrain this idea in us that if we fuck up in our teens, we fuck up everything. So don’t ever let adults make you feel less for needing/spending more time to achieve your goals. You’re still amazing if you get a degree at 24 or 44 or even not at all
for everyone needing this as much as i do right now
exactly what i needed??? aaAAAAH
Shake also explains that it’s unrealistic expecting to reach the finish
line too quickly — it’s a marathon, not a sprint. And it’s worth being
aware that success isn’t a single, tangible thing or point in time when
everything is finally accomplished. Individual achievements take place
throughout the journey and, sometimes, scripting one’s own story is the
biggest success of all.
my mom went to university in her mid-30s. I don’t think she ever would’ve thought she could do that as a teen or 20s.
I’m not saying it’s easy or that everyone can or should do that. But I promise you, my mom felt like she fucked everything up in her life beyond repair at least 3 times before she made that decision and she somehow pushed through. I draw a lot of strength from that.
The first bit was inspired by a post @svartalfhild made shortly after the fight with Saundor and I just really wanted to draw it lol
The second is a parallel since these two are ALL about the parallels and my intense desire to draw Percy without his glasses…either way he’s one hot tamale but DAYUM
Also I don’t know why I’m so into gray scale and minimal color lately but I’m really enjoying it!
Still this took me a lot longer than I thought it would… I have a couple more I want to do but these two were intended to go together so I had to finish both before I was willing to put it out there …
I’d say pardon my shameless Perc’ahlia shipping but now we or FUCKING CANNON AHHHHHH! SO HAPPyyyyyy!
actually, it’s been psychologically proven that bronze winners are happier than silver winners! silver winners see themselves as being “so close” to gold, while bronze winners are just happy they won a medal. so any silver medalist isn’t as happy as a bronze medalist!
