genuinely emotional when i read reader's feedback about how they relate to Milo and Bug and how my comic made them feel hopeful and seen. Thank you so much for loving my boys 💕

This was a beautiful, touching and heartfelt comic, perfect for the times we live in - I think we all need a little bit of exactly *this* in these days. My sincerest recommendation to go and buy it from Shortbox Comics fair for just £8 (!!) 💜

ShortBox Comics Fair is still going!!! There wont be one in 2026, so fill ur boots!! www.shortboxcomicsfair.com

Triple Axl's 'Molly and Paullie Nightmare Holiday' follows the great adventure of two penniless besties and their dog Football, who dream of cocktails and sunny beaches. After stealing cruise tickets from an old bourgeoise woman, will they be able to achieve their dreams?

Oh my goodness do I absolutely adore this slice of life comic! The characters are adorable and the story extremely relatable. Highly recommend! 💜💜

hey there! we're halfway through the @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social ! Here's Milo the second main character from my comic, and sketches demonstrating that i did, in fact, restrain myself in the forehead department with him.

I liked it a lot! Last year I already enjoyed Gnome Granny, so when I saw that you had a new comic this year I bought it blindly. I loved the gentleness that permeates the comic, the way Bug notices other people freely giving and getting help.

im struggling to place how complete strangers feel about my comic, ive almost only heard feedback from peers and acquaintances, i hope i succeeded in doing what i intended to. I hope readers like it

Check out my little Bug 🐛 He's one of the main character from my comic " Despite, despite, despite" currently available via the @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social ! He was pretty hard to figure out, went through many silly sketches.

William Sorely never considered how it all might end. After accidentally swallowing a mysterious capsule while typing his final assignment, Will finds himself on a time-traveling adventure riddled with aliens and robots (and minor bouts of flatulence)! New comic from @sloint.bsky.social!

the worst aspect of being an artist is truly having to sell yourself, im proud of what i do, i work hard and i create quality work, still so much depends on if people care and get invested in it. its incredibly rewarding to touch people, and so stressful to be at their mercy

Folks, it's the most wonderful time of the year: It's @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social time! To celebrate, I talked with Zainab Akhtar about the Fair and shared nine picks from this year's collection of 145 (!!) comics. OH. And it's open to non-subscribers.

Is there anything more pathetic than a fellow drowning his sorrows in a bar, post breakup? What's worse is knowing it! Or maybe what's worse is the bartender being not quite what he seems... Don't miss @chechula.bsky.social's 's wonderful comic 'Mission Report on So-Called Humankind'!

Round one! Exchange rate kicking my ass a bit but I wanted to get the ones from artists I follow and from Bluesky previews I was really excited about!

The Gentleman Wizard of the village carries out his dubious 'magic' on unsuspecting clients until he meets Giulia the maid, who asks for his help to break a spell that involves the king himself! 'Tell Me Who Your Wizard Is' is a new whimsical comedic farce from @gaiapapoila.bsky.social!

Gentle reminder that in the late '50s, the U.S. government did not censor comics. Comics companies censored themselves. Not sure why that crossed my mind today but there it is...

From @meybees.bsky.social, 'Angle' is a moving semi-fictional graphic memoir about the relationship between one's body and mind. Featuring: anthropomorphised ankles, grief, New Zealand, wildly inaccurate anatomical imagery, compassion, really steep slopes, and other evil triangles.

counting down the days until you meet my child at SBCF'25
