I can make the most elaborate cakes and cookies you can think of, but danishes? No. Life is too short.

Laminated pastries are great to buy but an actual nightmare to make. I just get puff pastry from local bakers and add fillings.

What's next for comics? Keeping them accessible and affordable. Moving on from collectors and targetting young Gen Z readers
Griepp points out that there have been slow years in comics and then a dramatic year like 1986 where books still in print. Publsihers must nurture that creativity

A lot of activity in digital space - not only vertical scolling/WEBTOON, but Neon Ichiban, GlobalComix and Crunchyroll all with new pushes.

Digital is 73% of the manga business in Japan.....always a stat that may portend many things.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

If anyone pronounces it "primmer" to me I'm walking out

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 6h

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

2024 sales were 73% ahead of 2019, the last pre COVID year. Many people sampling comics and liked them and kept reading them.

Retailers told
#icv2 that units were downbut prices rose hence higher profits. Most channels were flat. Book fairs were down but Kickstarter was up a bit.

Just announced at NYCC! A new Vertigo series from Grace and I about fandom, obsession... and parasocial chaos :)

the cover for Fanatic, a new series from DC vertigo by Hannah Templer and Grace Ellis. The cover depicts a woman cast half in shadow, looking back over her shoulder in a look of surprise as she is caught holding a shovel and wearing a tattered costume in a wooded area. The colors are in two tones of blue and red
