Spotify wrapped: listening age of 82. That’s about right.

But it also said I have eclectic, experimental taste in music, so maybe it’s not quite right?

@kierongillen.bsky.social I know I’m very behind in this and you’ve probably answered this elsewhere, but I recently got a bunch of Uber Invasion issues I’d never had or read before and loved diving back into that world. Are there any plans to finish the series?

One of my favorite comics growing up, Bone was created by Jeff Smith but became a success through a little help from his friends. Check out my latest Cartoonist Cooperative Journal piece about it! @cartoonistcoop #comics #history #jeffsmith #scholastic #libraries cartoonist.coop/journal/jeff...

CJ’s Comic Chats is back! Installment 3 focuses on 1990s Valiant art and coloring, as seen in Unity Saga Volume 2. Did you read any 1990s Valiant, and what were your thoughts on the art, especially coloring? #booktalk #comicstalk #90s #superhero #art #coloring

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social

Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts & Garfield were my comic strips growing up. I loved them on the page, on screen & more. Check my piece exploring their creators’ differing approaches to their work and licensing it! cartoonist.coop/journal/a-li... #garfield #calvinandhobbes #licensing #comicsandcommerce
