@jephjacques Set up a few mechanical turk or google jobs for fans to tag the comics, you'll have a massive searchable db in no time :P


@bethcodes @obfuscurity @bryanl I was about to reply that I can’t even say it that way in my head, but I actually do! But to me it’s more like jay-sahn (having grown up partly in the south, “sawn” has a much drawlier connotation)

TFW when you at-mention that place that you would love to work, and why its so intimidating, and then delete the whole tweet because it feels so passive-aggressive😭
