Gently down the stream
And if you see a poop in the toilet
Don't forget to poop"

Guess what? The Comics Courier Issue 3 Kickstarter is NOW LIVE!!
www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

The Comics Courier is a genuine delight--a print newspaper with comics criticism and reviews in a world that has almost entirely eliminated them. I read it cover to cover. They are kickstarting their third issue now.

Good Devils: Don't Play Fair With Evil is here!
Me & @nickdragotta.bsky.social co-created it, @sievish.bsky.social designed it, and @erikaschnatz.bsky.social got us ready for press at Image. I feel really fortunate to have made another book entirely with friends. Rare feeling.
Anyway, please buy it!

It's that time: ShortBox Comics Fair is here!

Over 140+ all-new, original comics created by artists from around the world, gathered exclusively in one place -for October only!

And it's all online, with all digital comics: no shipping, no waiting, no travelling.

Palestinian families like Tareq's are being violently displaced & starved to death in Israel's genocide. Please share & donate to cover the costs of healthcare, food and evacuation. They've lost one child to Israel's bombing (1 donation in 10 days):

Ahmad lost 7 family members in recent Israeli bombardment, & is desperate to get his surviving family to safety. Please help by sharing & donating if you can to cover the costs of healthcare, food and evacuation. Donations are very slow & few, & he's subjected to racist abuse & deletions on Bsky:

At least he's stopped asking to read Serial Killer or Democracy Now

NEVER sign a deal with Money Making Mario Management

all of this is gold but the tome readings are particularly A+++++ (as an only child who had/has very specific literary interests)

Sad that we never got to name our child "Yoshimitsu Johnson" (if you wanna know, you gotta go...and watch the special)

Same! We've been wanting to work with you for a while and are psyched that it's actually happening 😎

Obsessed with these hilariously mean 19th-century Japanese depictions of Admiral Perry and Westerners in general visualizingcultures.mit.edu/black_ships_...

but your eyes! You had the star quality even then (for real/sincerely/not a joke)

contrarian viewpoint: this is good bc it is extremely Claremont-coded for the mid-2020s
