SuperMutant Magic Academy

December 14, 2015

Hi guys,

SuperMutant Magic Academy was a webcomic that I posted here between 2010 and 2014. A book, which collected all of the strips that appear here, plus new strips, plus a 40-page concluding story, came out earlier this year. To everyone who supported this project, bought a book, or came out to events on the tour, THANKS!

I am going to stop posting on this tumblr! You can follow my illustration and comic work on my other tumblr (jilliantamaki). If you liked this, maybe you’ll like that, etc.

Other places to follow: twitter (@dirtbagg), an Instagram I have not posted anything at (@jilliantamaki) and an old-timey blog (blog.jilliantamaki.com).

I will leave this site up too. Catch you on the flipside—–

An interview with the always-thoughtful Annie Mok.

heyanniemok:

I interviewed my literal hero, Jillian Tamaki, for The Hairpin. We talk about D&Q’s new collection of her SuperMutant Magic Academy webcomic, for which she’s now touring. Just after I wrote the questions I also got in the mail her Frontier #7 story “SexCoven” from Youth In Decline, which I loved too. This woman!! I can’t even. Except I had to, even, to ask her questions.

It’s that time of the year again… when I start seeing this comic crop up all over the place! (It’s from 2011.)

HOW MANY YEARS IN A ROW CAN I SHAMELESSLY REBLOG THIS STUPID COMIC? Until you guys stop eating it up like a trick-or-treater on a bowl of mini chocolate bars. -JT, 2014
