Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

I’m really cooking on these pages that no one will see for a few years

a new mRNA therapy apparently can cut the rate of Huntington's disease progression by ~75%. yet more miracle shit www.bbc.com/news/article...

Please be patient with cartoonists, we have to figure out how to draw so many different kinds of chairs

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...

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

The movies don't really get into it, but it's worth remembering that Denethor went crazy because he spent too much time doomscrolling on the Palantír and it cooked his brain

(after putting googly eyes on my box fan) WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT??

Sure, they're seen as childish, a lesser art form, and few appreciate them. But at least they're difficult to make.

For the Monday crowd.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

4 year old just came up to me while I was reading and said “I’m sorry to interrupt your me-laxing time” and I’m sorry that word is too perfect to keep to myself: no more relaxing, only me-laxing

Goodnight, friends. Did you know that Monarch butterfly migration is multigenerational? That is, it takes several successive generations to make the trip. Their individual lifespans are too brief. People are like that too. We have to persist in hope of what's to come. I love you.

Nice round-up of the stakes in the Publishers v Diamond inventory battle from Sam Spratford at @publisherswkly.bsky.social www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

One of my favorite movies as a kid was Cabaret, and I’m mad at how useful an education it was. I know Tomorrow Belongs to Me when I see it.

My dad visited recently, and probably for the last time—travel is getting to be too hard. Here are a few diary comics I made. More on substack: open.substack.com/pub/marniega...

My favorite poet, Andrea Gibson, has died. While I never got to meet Andrea or see them speak, their poetry has had a profound impact on my life. Their quote “the truth may not be hopeful, but the telling of it is” lives on the bulletin board above my desk to remind me why I do this work in news.

NEW: Immigrants complain of inhumane conditions at ICE holding cells in NYC. No showers or changing clothes. Sometimes only one meal per day. Over 100 people in small rooms. Sleeping on benches, the floor, or sitting up, due to lack of space. gothamist.com/news/theyre-...

I put up my most recent collection of diary comics; I have done a bad job promoting these because I feel ~very ambivalent~ re: privacy & parenting, & also, I think these are good and worth sharing? It’s complex! Check it out, if diary comics are your thing! www.marnie-galloway.com/store/p/comi...

I don’t have anything new to say but my heart is in the hill country. That is the home of my bones, Austin and Wimberly and San Antonio. My kids are the ages of the kids who were swept away. It’s too much to hold, the grief and the anger.

My advice to new authors is to find your peer group. Established artists are generally very, very busy and can't befriend and mentor every single newcomer they meet. Find your graduating class, as it were.

Birthday portrait number 7 for the very best girl

The article myself and other former Sprocket staff were interviewed for went live today. Re-reading it all and seeing what other folks have said just has me really sad for how all this has shaken out. www.tcj.com/high-debts-h...

As US government authorities can no longer be relied upon to provide reliable medical information, the American Medical Association and 78 other medical societies have written an open letter to the American public underscoring the importance of vaccines. www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c...

A new mini with some work-in-progress pages of a bigger book + a new diary comic collection at CAKE this weekend! Come say hi at table 307B!!

Zohran Mamdani’s campaign had a visual language like no other, drawing on hand-painted bodega signage and New York iconography in a completely fresh way.

I’ll be at CAKE at the Irish American Heritage Center, 4626 N Knox, table 307B *this weekend*! Come by on Saturday (11-6) or Sunday (11-5) to buy comics, including a new volume of diary comics and a preview of bigger things to come. 💖

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

most metal thing I’ve ever seen

Sent a mini to print for CAKE with this cover 🐻🦷🩸

Breakthrough in search for HIV cure leaves researchers ‘overwhelmed’

At 95 years old, Catherine Kuehn became a world-record-holding powerlifter. The short documentary “Strong Grandma” follows her as she prepares for what may be her final competition. Watch here.

I have a child with a genetic disorder who really loves and identifies with the mutants in x-men: art is humanizing, “low art” is a pretentious lie, go make your wildest silliest fantasy

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think
