Aw man, you’re too kind! Thanks so much for having me onboard, I hope we get to work on something together again soon!

All they had to say was “Flash Gordon” and I was onboard. Thanks to editor @adamwallenta.bsky.social at Papercutz and the folks at King Features for making this so much fun to do. More info: icv2.com/articles/new...

Exciting update! Yesterday, we delivered a letter to the SVA administration informing them of our hope to establish a constructive dialogue, and urged that SVA not engage in any attempts to delay our right to a fair and timely vote on unionization in the future.

These two very different (but equally excellent) collections came out OTD in 2009. The Life and Times of #Savior28 by @jmdematteis.bsky.social and @mikecavallaro.bsky.social, and #Vixen: Return of the Lion by @gwillow.me and @officialcafu.bsky.social. If you missed either of these, seek them out!

cover to The Life and Times of Savior 28: a collage of Savior 28-related ephemera, including a Time magazine cover, newspapers, photos, a button, and an action figure.

cover to Vixen: Return of the Lion - Vixen sits near a lion, both staring at the reader.

3 years ago, @ianrosenberg.bsky.social & I, with the good folks at @01firstsecond released FREE SPEECH HANDBOOK: A Practical Framework for Understanding Our Free Speech Protections, and it's as timely and useful as ever. I've heard from a reliable source that new softcover version is on the way.

Can anyone explain why it is that if you type in someone’s exact Bluesky profile address the search function says it can’t find them or that it doesn’t exist?

Mike Cavallaro @mikecavallaro.bsky.social · Dec 3

I just read Chapter 1 and your comic looks amazing! Looking forward to catching up on the rest, I see I’ve a long way to go! That’s a lot of work! Well done!

Join the majority for a better SVA! With a union, faculty would have a seat at the table to negotiate as equals over our working conditions. svafacultyunited.org
