I really enjoyed this video! This is still my favorite comic of all time, and I read a lot of great titles recently.
Watching this excellence again, Fraction and Lieber discuss making the magic happen with Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen. The hidden powerhouse here is @matthewbogart.bsky.social, who is phenomenal at editing and producing this piece.

My good friend (fellow Eisner judge) Rocco is also quoted in this article. It’s a great read.
TCAF's own @librarylandia.bsky.social is in @publisherswkly.bsky.social, sharing how comics are uniquely effective at depicting grief, loss, and trauma.
Plus, hear from @conundrumpress.bsky.social's Katarina Thorsen, whose "Salt Green Death" will be at TCAF!

Got my black eyed peas cooking on the stove for dinner tonight, had some cabbage salad at lunch. It’s already an awful start to the new year, so I’m taking comfort in tradition.

Yay! Just unpacked and assembled the new World Book encyclopedia! Love this day. My boss came over to help because he was excited to see the design. And it’s a great one! 📚 #skybrarians

I implore libraries to simply refuse to purchase anything from this "publisher."
I’m horrified by Spines but I very much enjoyed the way Matilda has written this piece about their so-called disruption of the publishing industry with a tech-washed pay-to-publish model, especially the lack of sales data 👀

I applied and didn’t get my project chosen in 2019, but it was a great experience working with a colleague to fill out the application and we probably would have implemented our program anyway if 2020 hadn’t been what it was.
