thanks so much David! Really appreciate the kind works. I'm hoping when it hits Lunar it will get into more shops but its made its way into plenty of hands in North America which is quite nice.

KEEPING TIME returns, as promised!!

#KeepingTime is a bittersweet bummer of a gay band romance that just started its 4th chapter, which means there's already 106 pages for you to dive into. #webcomics

🎸 keepingtimecomic.com

Full page spread of a close-up of a bulletin board. A flyer that reads, "Chapter 4: My Father's Dreams" takes front and center of the spread. Around it, numerous flyers and business cards are pinned to it with colored thumbtacks.

23-year-old journalist Plestia Alaqad, like many Gazans, lost her home in the first days after October 7. unable to reenter her homeland, stuck watching the horror continue, she’s publishing her diaries from reporting on the ground.

full interview @teenvogue.com www.teenvogue.com/story/plesti...

Pic of Plestia Alaqad overlaid with text from interview: Plestia Alaqad: I can't believe that it's almost — [she pauses] no, it's not almost, it's actually two years. Okay, I can't believe that it's been two years of this ongoing genocide. When I was reporting in Gaza for 45 days, these 45 days felt like 45 years. And now it's 200 days feeling like 200 years for the people who are actually still on the ground facing bombing, displacement and starvation, which is being used as a method by Israel. Israel is literally ethnically cleansing people in Gaza, and we're watching a genocide unfold live on TV.

I love times too! but yah it’s bonkers

If you do a hard return instead of hanging the text it means when the letterer copys in the text they have to delete every hard return the writer put in which takes a
significant amount of time.
