My Friend Jeffrey :: My Friend Jeffrey (one shot/short story) | Tapas

Follows Otto and his imaginary friend, Jeffrey, in the struggle of accepting an imaginary friend well into adolescence.

Hi all,  I’ve gone ahead and (finally) uploaded last year’s one-shot comic “My Friend Jeffrey” to Tapastic (comics reader).  If I’m honest, I’m incredibly proud of myself for being able to pump out these 23 pages in basically a month and a half. The art surely isn’t my best, and there is notably more photograph splicing in this comic than in my more recent works I’ve yet to release. Though, despite my personal feelings of a lack in visual quality in this work, I don’t think I’ve felt so energized since drawing this one. With college continuing and my PBS (painful bladder syndrome) not having improved much at all, I feel lethargic and stagnant more and more, no matter how hard I work. My PBS truly does make exerting myself so difficult, but… let’s not go into my health status much currently. I try to not complain or make mentions of my health much lately because of the vast amount of criticism I’ve received from others about being “complaning,” “too much,” or “needy.”  nbsp; I share this comic in hopes of it bringing on some sort of ironic joy, though any reaction at all is more than I’d ask for. A bunch of you guys on Instagram and here are really awesome, so thanks for being there. Hope all is well.   - Luke

had a minor crisis when 12ft.io went down yesterday and thankfully it's back now but this seems like a good opportunity to compile a list of similar paywall-evading tools in case 12ft ever gets canned for real:

12ft.io: the legend himself. definitely my favorite of the bunch by virtue of being the easiest to use (and the easiest url to remember), but it's configured to disable paywall evasion for a handful of popular sites like the new york times, so you'll have to go elsewhere for those.

printfriendly: works great; never had any issues with removing paywalls, even on domains that don't work with 12ft.io. since this site is literally designed to make sites print-friendly, it might simplify the overall formatting of the page you're trying to access, which can be a good or bad thing. my only real issue is that the "element zapper" (which lets you remove content blocks from the print-friendly preview) is a little sensitive if you're browsing on a touchscreen device, which means you might accidentally delete a paragraph when you're just trying to scroll. but if that happens you can reload the page and it'll revert everything back to its original state.

fifteen feet: basically a 12ft clone, minus 12ft's restrictions. haven't used it much since I only discovered it yesterday in the wake of 12ft's 451 error but it seems to do the trick.

archive.today: an archival tool very similar to the wayback machine, but it also works as a de facto paywall removal tool. (the wayback machine seems to remove paywalls as well, but archive.today has better UX imo and is way faster to use.)

and an honorable mention for sci-hub: only works for scientific/academic journals, not random news articles, but the other sites listed above only work for random news articles and not academic publications so you gotta have this one in your toolbelt for full coverage. pubmed is your oyster.

Hope everyone’s having a good time on Earth today
