Highly recommend BAGATTO by Sassoraviolo from Shortbox Comic Fair (available during Oct)!

The art style is fantastic, luscious, energetic and dreamlike, very much in keeping with the themes of the comic! Content warning: probably adult leaning.

An absolute gem of a comic from
@ivyteas.bsky.social, 'Summer of the Wondrous Salamander' follows the narrator's reminiscence of a strange childhood summer spent with a creature that eludes both definition and the authorities...
Also a story not-quite about a grandmother, and a house.

String Figures by Darcy Morgan

Fourth Shortbox Comic!! Absolutely NAILS the different character personalities, and it nails the creepy setting.

Would die for Maggie and Ruth, their sibling dynamic is sweet and I'd love to see more of them both

nocturnal, pepe reyes 🌝
pepe does it again 🥲 his comic this year’s has pulled off the feat of being somehow even more wonderful than last year’s! i see a lot of people who seem to think comedic charm is separate from or even antithetical to ““serious art”” and i would like them to read pepe’s work…

NOCTURNAL is a comic about what animals do at night and sometimes that is gay frogs throwing a party in the middle of a typhoon

Cover of digital comic, Postcards from Tycho, by Jean Fhilippe. A person is upside down, eyes closed and mouth agape. Blue washes.

Cover of digital comic, On an Even Moon, by B. Mure. Two people stand on a hill, staring at a sun and a moon (maybe?) with their backs toward us.

Check out my little Bug 🐛
He's one of the main character from my comic " Despite, despite, despite" currently available via the @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social !
He was pretty hard to figure out, went through many silly sketches.

Pay week means round 2 of @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social! In an age where artists' works are undermined by AI and capitalism, I try to support when I can. ShortBox Comic Fair is an amazing opportunity to do, and I always encourage those able to support artists, too.

Bagatto by Sassaviolo

Fifth Shortbox Comic! I think reading this genuinely might have just changed my life?? My mind barely wraps around the sheer experimental abstract uniqueness that Sassaviolo's art and composition has

Listed to Cosmo Sheldrake during this and it was magic.

I know it's a bit of a risk to have so many new faces/work that people may not be familiar with, but I want to use whatever platform I have to champion all kinds of artists, all kinds of approaches. I feel lucky to have a smart readership that gets that and shows their support.
