Hey, if y’all are at @smallpressexpo.bsky.social and lost a book (might be a library book!) we found it at table W36 against the back wall. Someone set it down while they were looking at comics, we’re guarding it for you and want to get it safely home!

I've been quiet a while now, and the reasons will come to light, but an are they obvious: 1)The Internet is terrible and exhaisting, 2) Day Job is ALL-CONSUMING (but still fun and rewarding), 3) No new comics to talk about, really (this one is changing!) but stay tuned today and tomorrow for news!

Hey Patrick! Thanks so much man, I'm a big fan of your style. I may indeed have a couple things in the works that you'd be great for, including a 5 page pitch that has complete pages and just needs colors. I'll reach out ASAP.

If this story is any longer than “Because they’re racist, fascist assholes.”

Then @npr.org has failed us.

Damn, ALMOST missed out on @yozanfardino.bsky.social and Elisa Romboli’s latest, and that would have been… foolish.

Get in there, people! This one looks gorgeous and WILDLY original.

I think about this all the time now… does the background of this scene include a billion right angles?!? And if so, am I good enough pals with the artist to get away with it?

Last thing I did, the backgrounds were all art deco wallpaper from the 90’s. I barely got out alive.

Dear Southwest Airlines,

Thanks so much for sending me the notification that my 2:00 flight is delayed until… 2:01.

Seriously, that happened.

I feel seen.

Practice, Practice, Practice.

Honestly, it’s a matter of building a body of work, having a robust online portfolio and a semi-decent social following, and building relationships with the showrunners themselves. ReedPOP does the best stuff.
