Today's random Peanuts paperback.

I'm starting OCAF, a comic arts festival totally focused on comics, with my friends at @okcomicarts.bsky.social. It's FREE. It's THIS SATURDAY. I am experiencing feelings about it.

Good night, gang.

Psst! We're back (Again, Bullwinkle?) But hey, no time for that now, we've got @smallpressexpo.bsky.social SPX Spotlights starting tomorrow! Watch this space! www.panelpatter.com/2025/09/comi...

Today's random Peanuts paperback.

One of Rob's favorite books! Go get them!

I started seriously thinking about a Batman/Green Arrow/Question book a decade ago after drawing this commission. First issue of my Black Label book ARCADIA featuring the three of them is out in November.

Denizens of the SPX ‘25: The Exhibitors Page is now LIVE and ready for you to find your favorite creators and publishers!

After a five years I'm back on the convention circuit! If you're interested in preordering a commission to pick up at @Rose City Comic Con, @rosecitycc.bsky.social OKC Comic Con, @okcomicarts.bsky.social or NYCC, @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social send me a DM and I'll give you the details!

Cover by Jack Burnley.

It's time! Here's @sinisterjhk.bsky.social favorite comics of 2024: www.panelpatter.com/2024/12/jame...

So… last year I found out my mom was half-Japanese. And my mom represents about 50% of this issue since she passed. I thought it might be a good idea to collaborate with my friend-in-comix @marinaomi.bsky.social, who is half-Japanese, on the cover of this issue. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sob...

Our Gift Guide has returned! Rob's got 7 ideas for the comics fan in your life, including books from Abrams, @darkhorse.com @imagecomics.bsky.social, Marvel, @nbmpub.bsky.social @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social and @skybound.bsky.social: www.panelpatter.com/2024/12/pane...

Happy #CthulhuCthursday everyone 🙃

Hi to lots of new people. Just a note, this account is for the site so with rare exceptions it only follows back people directly involved in comics! But we are happy you find us interesting and hopefully useful in your day! Thanks!

my homie @theredmoth.com and i like to look at character designs over the years and our recent dissertation into the many looks of the Fantastic Four had me itching to draw them myself

Darkseid done for #NYCC pickup a couple years ago. #DC #comicsart

How was everyone's first day at @smallpressexpo.bsky.social ??

Go see Blue @smallpressexpo.bsky.social ! Oh Human Star is one of my favorite stories! -R

Go see Colleen @smallpressexpo.bsky.social ! Lots of great stuff, especially all-ages!

Give Silver Sprocket a good chunk of your comics money this weekend @smallpressexpo.bsky.social !! Just tons of quality books, year in, year out.

Go see Carey at @smallpressexpo.bsky.social this weekend!

Happy FRIDAY THE 13TH, everyone!

I am continuing to draw some X-Men. Today it is Jubilee, the teenage sidekick character who should be annoying but isn't!

You should go write something for Steve!

Happy Friday 13th!! 😱✨

Here's another @smallpressexpo.bsky.social Spotlight, this time on some cool creators like @joshbayercomics.bsky.social @sobuttonscomics.bsky.social Anders Nilsen, Kelly Phillips, Francois Vigneault, and Andrew White: www.panelpatter.com/2024/09/spx-...

We shine the @smallpressexpo.bsky.social Spotlight on some debut books from @plasticfarm.bsky.social @careydraws.bsky.social @colleenfrakes.bsky.social and more in today's post: www.panelpatter.com/2024/09/spx-...

Hmm. @adampknave.com, some other cool folks, and I start talking about 1980s comics and BlueSky hits an all-time high. Coincidence? You tell me.... -R

Okay, one last Original Secret Wars Toy anecdote for the night for @adampknave.com : Young Rob barely had access to comics. Had no idea what they'd done with the black suit. But Rob HATED Black Suit Spidey (though he appreciated Dad fought hard to buy one!) so he had to find a way to use him (1/2)

Spot illustrations by @colleencoover.bsky.social.

Go see Rafer and pick up some cool, quirky, weird and fun comics!

And while we're on the subject, here's an archive of older @smallpressexpo.bsky.social SPX Spotlights from the Panel Patter Team. Lots of great creators in here over the years: www.panelpatter.com/search/label...

Rob is hoping to resurrect some @smallpressexpo.bsky.social Spotlight action this year, and either way encourages you to get yourself to Bethesda this weekend: www.panelpatter.com/2024/09/spx-...

if @silversprocket.bsky.social had a car in the Portland Adult Soap Box Derby it would be this one

Go see Jim, he's good people! And especially good at pitching you on your next favorite comic, too!

Hope everyone is having an amazing time at SDCC. Loved the opportunity to go from 2017-2019. Some great memories. Probably something in our past, I don't think we're at that level anymore. But damn it was fun. -R

Another early SDCC Commission - The Everluvin' Thing!

These are amazing comics from start to finish. Go get this!
