Finally got around to ATLANTIS WASN’T BUILT FOR TOURISTS by @ericpalicki.bsky.social & @wendellcs13.bsky.social and it’s a wonderful read. Tight and suspenseful with damaged characters and an ending I absolutely LOVED. The 2 backup stories were great also!

Check it out when you get a chance!

One thing I’ve loved about working on ORLA! is getting to enjoy @sallycantirino.bsky.social, @dearbhlala.bsky.social & @letteringbear.bsky.social (& @robutoid.bsky.social!) crafting beautiful title/credits splash pages for each issue.

(And the one we have lined up for issue #5 is another cracker!)
Orla Bard, looking radiant, poses for a selfie, with the series title "ORLA!" above her and credits below. Orla and Gwyn sit facing each other at the coffee shop, Orla nervous and Gwyn happy, while The Ick looms over them, crouched on the table, holding a coffee cup that looks comically small in her massive hands. The ORLA! title is below them and Chapter 2 is written in the top corner. The Ick is sat in a pile of innards, a severed leg in her hands, looking nervously across at the door, slightly ajar, where Gwyn - dressed in a nurse Halloween costume - is peering through. ORLA! is written up top, and on the door is written, "Chapter 3: House of Horrors." Gwyn lies on his bed, still in the white dress and fishnet stockings of his nurse costume, the top of his leg bleeding from anxious scratching. Next to him lies a (symbolic) ravaged body in segments. ORLA! is written up top, with the credits below, and "Chapter Four: Fireworks" written across Gwyn's torso.

Hey, so, I've been fired. Now that I'm unemployed like the other half of Bluesky, if anyone knows of work for a writer, reporter, or nonprofit grants manager, I'd be much obliged. You all know where to find me.
