finally finished Hello Sunshine by @keezyyoung.bsky.social and very genuinely it’s my favorite graphic novel I’ve ever read. Mesmerizing panel composition and art, really good pacing and character writing, a good reversal of common tropes

Couldn’t recommend it enough—even if YA ain’t your thing

Not only have editors prevented me from showing my ass in public, so has hiring sensitivity readers. I’m a big fan of both. Having someone be honest with you while also keeping your best interests at heart is something to be valued not dismissed

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

"Hello Sunshine" is SUPER good.

It's absolutely beautiful work on every level - the art, the coloring, the writing, the story... Keezy is SO good at comics.

What's especially striking here is the deft handling of mental illness/psychosis and horror in a way that is haunting, and not dehumanizing.
