Does BlueSky have pins yet? Here’s our shop hours!

Also: I’m generally late! Consider all 10am starts or 3pm returns: -ISH, enjoy a coffee at Slice while you wait!

Want us to be open more days and hours? Tell friends and strangers about us! We’d love to be able to afford it!

We’re teetering on the edge of rent! (And we pay tomorrow!)

One subscription would tip us over if anyone’s been thinking of trying it! You can find them at the bottom of the front page or under Menu>>Genres>>Gifts!

Turn off the lights on your way out.

Goodnight Stoneybatter! Quiet night but still on the verge of having rent made! A few good overnight orders might clear the hurdle!

As much as I miss the long summer days, the shop looks lovely in the autumn evening.

I have letter to the editor this week in our local paper.
Our community is, once again, facing a developer who wants to turn public, protected coastal land into a golf course. We've been here before. This time, it's shadier. And God knows it was shady last time. www.invernessoran.ca/top-story/co...

Delivery Day! One damaged box arrived! Another gone missing! What a week!

Buying a comic always lifts my spirits (I mean you- The Customer Reading This, I can’t afford to buy a comic to lift my spirits until someone like you buys some first, such is my small business curse)

Evictions include people with disabilities and children - 13 of the children go to one local school, and their families will have to move outside the catchment area as there is so little available to rent in Killarney. There's a petition to prevent it here: www.change.org/p/prevent-a-...

International folk who'd like to support the Irish indie comic scene: this is a great way to do it!

You get a lovely portrait of your pet by an Irish artist and The Dublin Comic Arts Festival raises enough money to cover our deposit for our 2026 dates!

Let’s make rent! Very close now. And it’s Thursday! The day we’re open until 7! Perfect for an evening browse about Stoneybatter!

A normal Thursday income (10 customers) would get us to rent! Bring friends and strangers to Little Deer! Spam your loved ones and enemies with

If you’re not on the island, dropping a euro in our support link is so much more helpful to us than, for example: ordering an American comic back to America.

Support your local shops!

If 10 signed up we could wipe out almost all our debt! If 20 signed up I could order loads of new publishers whose books have never reached Irish shores before! Which is what Little Deer does best!

So please tell friends and strangers about Little Deer!

My go-to solution for poor sales is the hope that the more people who know about Little Deer the better our odds of weathering this economic downturn. There’s 7 million people on this island! If 2 signed up for an annual graphic novel subscription we’d have rent made!

There were 3 conflicting cartooning events on last weekend and we’re in a recession and cost of living crisis that aren’t being addressed in Ireland’s 2026 budget so I don’t blame people for not going out and not spending.
