i am struggling so i’m putting out the call!

i need examples of graphic novellas under/around 100 pages published in the last 2-3 years. preferably memoirs or at least telling a story (not just educational guides etc).

anyone know of any, or have tips on how to search for this kind of thing?

Alltaf svo mikil óþægindi fyrir mig þegar fólki líður illa í kringum mig og tekst ekki að maska það almennilega. En ég díla bara við það og embrace-a það eins og hetjan sem ég er.

Líf mitt er göfugt og kvalafullt.

And another from the same arc. I remember this being my most ambitious work on Bruce of the year, at least scale-wise. Sometimes I'd knock out some really nice panels, other times I'd clearly cut corners due to time constraints.

Time constraints I'd only put on myself, but still!

A panel from webcomic Bruce the Angry Bear, circa July 2018. A metal hand attached to a wire grabs onto a birch tree branch with a satisfying "SNAP!"

Here's one from seven years ago. #webcomic #BrucetheAngryBear #Art

A panel from weekly webcomic Bruce the Angry Bear, circa July 2018. Bruce lies facedown in the bottom of a muddy ravine. His "arch-nemesis" May lies by him, looking at him sternly. Parts of May's wheelchair are scattered around the ravine.

Anyone in Boston an immigration lawyer or know one who can help this woman? Her husband is detained at Logan over a dismissed misdemeanor from 2017. He’s a legal resident of the US. She just asked for help an hour ago.

It will never escape my attention that I achieved this higher than average level of literacy due to reading comics and listening to rap. The forms that *you* scoffed at and considered to be lesser. I am smarter and more literate than you because I’ve engaged in *something,* as opposed to nothing

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Kickstarter strike is deeply affecting our campaign. This is your reminder that the workers are not asking you to boycott. But also that campaigns aren’t being seen outside their immediate spheres of followers (of which I do not have many)
Can you share the campaign today, please?

When I lived in California, I was embarrassed to realize that Icelandic candy is about 80% black licorice. Most of my friends wouldn't touch it.

Oh well. More for me!

There is no graphic novels equivalent of The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants or an equivalent of Sex in the City or for something more recent Hacks etc etc.

The closest you get are graphic memoirs.
