I’m so damn proud of this series. I really think it occupies a unique space on the shelf. I hope now that it’s all collected more folks give it a shot.

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

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...

I live in a red state that makes you verify your age on websites with "mature content" by uploading your drivers license. I'm not gonna do that, and I'm not gonna use a VPN just to read messages on here. I don't know why I have to do it for messages and not the site as a whole.

Reminder that I can't receive chats on Bluesky because I won't verify my age (38). Someone sent me a chat and I can't read it. You can email me instead. If you don't have my email... 🤷‍♀️

This year marks 10 years of Harrow County! One of the best things I ever worked on and I'm super proud of what @cullenbunn.bsky.social and I were able to accomplish with this series along with the help of @danielchabon.bsky.social and dozens of other artists contributing along the way!

The first Peanuts strip by Charles M. Schulz was published on October 2, 1950.

Four black and white panels of a boy and girl sitting on steps. 1st panel: Charlie Brown is approaching and the boy says “Well! Here comes ol’ Charlie Brown!” 2nd panel: As Charlie Brown passes, he says “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…yes, sir!” 3rd panel: “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…” 4th panel: Once Charlie is gone, “How I hate him!”

Love this review from a dad whose kid works at a comic shop and recommended they read Out of Alcatraz. @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social @mrtylercrook.bsky.social

Turn and Work (Hugh) @turnandwork.com · 8d

Out of Alcatraz speculates on a legendary, unsolved prison escape in 1962, by one of the creators of Halt and Catch Fire. It’s a detailed and absorbing graphic novel, ideal for a film adaptation.

It's excellent stuff, even for non-comic book readers like me.
