Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

If it’s been a rough one, please, feel free to DM us and we will mail you a comic book 💝

The holidays can be a very complex and sometimes painful time of year, especially for queer folx. We don’t want anyone out there feeling left out in the cold

Your kind words mean the world to us <3 ethical publishing is not an easy venture but sequential artists absolutely deserve to get paid fairly for the work you do to fill our lives with joy.
