Positivity!

Amidst all the bad decisions various platforms are making, I want to point out I really enjoy how Twitter has changed the "media" option on profiles to an actual gallery-type view instead of just a scroll of media posts. This is way better!

Always awesome, fun, and incredibly clean ink work. I love it :)

@pri_silver There we go :)

My wife and I are rewatching Daredevil, so the hallway fight scene from Episode 2(?) is definitely on my mind. But if I'm being honest, the first fight scene that comes up as my favorite right now is the fight scene in Red's house from Pineapple Express. Genius.

[Brandon Streussnig @BrndnStrssng]

I'm going to risk starting a prompt, god help me, but what's your A, NUMBER ONE fight scene ever? I'm working on something, keeping it vague but in the interest of research, I'd like to see anything and everything

[Ben Bender @BenABender]

@pri_silver Oooh! Nice :)

[Ben Bender @BenABender]

@tagsalegirl @crunchixe Shanty Trolls!! Yes! Oh, man. I honestly (embarrassingly) didn't even consider the other musical trolls out there.

[Ben Bender @BenABender]

Check out this amazing shop. I can't wait to make it over there someday. Go buy all their stuff so I can live vicariously through you.

[Ben Bender @BenABender]

@tagsalegirl It's beautiful, Kate.

[Ben Bender @BenABender]

Always a good read!

If you ever need a thoughtfully curated collection of inspiration, instead of an algorithmically powered feed of manipulation might I suggest scrolling through my blog: https://t.co/gweRkhpv2d

@DeeBrisbyFish @NatCartoonSoc Sweet! Congratulations :)

@MrWillHenry @porliniers Nice!

I never used to get spam accounts tagging me in posts/tweets. Now? It's pretty regular. I guess this place is cleaning up nicely, huh?

:)

[Ben Bender @BenABender]

@curry2386 I'm sure you'll do a great job, and can't wait to see what you cook up.

[Ben Bender @BenABender]

@larrymacdougall So excited for this new project of yours, Larry. The paintings youve already shared are so wonderful. Can't wait to see more come to life!

[Ben Bender @BenABender]

@tagsalegirl @Trolls Ah, man. This is so lovely. I keep staring at all the different leaf and foliage techniques/textures you have going on. This looks like it was an absolute blast to paint :)

There are some things I would think we'd have moved past as a society by now. I get way too upset when I think about it.

Seriously, who are these savages among us who are supporting the single-ply toilet paper industry?

It's not okay anymore. We should do better.

[Ben Bender @BenABender]

I see a lot of negativity secondhand, but the folks I follow are much more focused on craft, improvement, and lifting up others. I'm thankful for that.

2/2

[Ben Bender @BenABender]

In the land of comics discourse, it seems the folks who are sitting on skill and some level of accomplishment talk more positively about furthering that skill and how to help others do the same. It's nice.

@juni_ba Absolutely agree. My wife hadn't seen it, and I was so jealous she was getting to watch it for the first time.
