During our spring tour for The Cartoonists Club, @goraina.bsky.social and I presented to several hundred families in Evanston. A more peaceful, beautiful setting would be hard to imagine.

My latest graphic novel, Flip, is out tomorrow! ✨

HIRE RAY!!! They are so good, dedicated, and professional. I truly love working with them!!

I like to close out my talks sometimes by trying to draw my least favorite things as quickly as possible (horse, hands, car 😒). A note arrived after one of these talks. I love it to bits. It’s going on a wall.

Listen up, fans of kids' graphic novels! 📣 Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud, creators of THE CARTOONISTS CLUB, will join us for an off-site event Tuesday, October 21st! The event will take place at Town Hall Seattle, starting at 6 pm (doors open at 5 pm). Get your tickets soon! 💙📚

“To allow kids to see themselves as a creator, not in the model of somebody else, but in what inspires them and what makes them want to be storytellers.” @goraina.bsky.social #libcomix www.tcj.com/what-do-you-...

Wonderful news, but a big surprise for me; I didn't think we were even eligible for 2025! 🎉

As someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.

The Cartoonists Club is nominated for a Harvey Award!! @scottmccloud.bsky.social

this thread (in response to colin kaepernick's "make comics with AI" venture) is just spot on. for extra context, great coverage from the beat and popverse last year: www.comicsbeat.com/colin-kaeper... www.thepopverse.com/comics-colin...

HARD CO-SIGN!!! Pencil, paper, done.

i just did a workshop with kids about making comics. emphasized that ANYONE can make comics. you don't have to be a "good" artist. you find a story that matches your art style and you do it and it's awesome. and a kid who NEVER PARTICIPATES got out from under a desk and PARTICIPATED and had a blast.

More dates for The Cartoonists Club tour are live with ticket links! Come see @scottmccloud.bsky.social and I in Seattle, Vancouver, Los Angeles, and Santa Cruz in October! kids.scholastic.com/kid/books/bo...

I launched my webcomic today! 🚀✨ VALOR is a sci-fi comic about a team of salvage operators who grapple with what it means to be human after discovering an illegal humanoid robot abandoned on a derelict transport ship. I'd be so delighted if you check it out!!! :3 valorbot.webcomic.ws

🧵Loved The Cartoonists Club by @goraina.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social ! It’s a ‘how to’ disguised as fiction for kids. A love letter to making comics. The comics community is one of those where everyone involved is there because they truly love comics. This graphic novel… #KidsGN📚💬

From Zine to Comics Queen! Raina Telgemeier's Origin Story Enjoy this interview with Raina from the archives! I position these episodes as evergreen, so you and your readers may learn about how their favorite book creators got their start! m.youtube.com/watch?v=4bsp...

I aim to leave everyone in tears 😘

SDCC is in full swing. Here’s my schedule for today (Friday!)!

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

SDCC! I have panels & signings Friday and Sunday. You can bring your own books from home, or purchase books on the spot from @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social! And yes, @scottmccloud.bsky.social and I are signing together both days, if you want an extra-special, dual-signed copy of Cartoonists Club.⭐️

Love to spread the love about books we love! 📚

This Prime Day (& every day): ➡️ Support the small businesses making a positive difference ➡️ Get book recs from people who actually read—not algorithms ➡️ Visit your indie, immerse yourself in books, maybe chat with real people, & leave feeling happy ➡️ Support your indie with audiobook purchases

This was such a fun interview—we probably could’ve talked to @douglaswolk.bsky.social for hours!

Oh! It’s cool that they localized the cover design of El Deafo! 🥰

"You cannot “opt out” of reality, no matter what today’s majority opinion states. These books belong on shelves and these stories belong in classrooms and curricula." 🔥🔥🔥

Yay ALA!!

The “Magic of Comics” sequence in @goraina.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social’s Cartoonists Club (Scholastic, 2025) uses line connections to explain the implication of narrative from discrete comics panels: www.vaultofculture.com/vault/nst/20...

If you have a kid who loves comics, loves to draw, loves to tell stories, (or if You, an adult do too), run out and buy this book. It's an amazing font of wisdom, couched in a great story, made by two of the industries true icons. (And lovely human beings) There's only winning here.

🪅 ¡Los errores son buenos! 🎉

(Pace salsa voice) NEW YORK CITY!

Omg this is the best accidental photo ever

It was so nice getting to spend the morning with @goraina.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social ! And did you know that part of their new book, The Cartoonist Club, takes place at A2CAF at the Ann Arbor District Library!?

This makes me feel 3.5% better

What an incredible experience moderating todays panel with @goraina.bsky.social , Scott McCloud, and Tony Weaver Jr at the University of Michigan...and this is just the start of a great weekend at A2CAF (Ann Arbor Comic Art Festival). See you at the Ann Arbor District Library Saturday and Sunday!

Tomorrow (Fri June 13) in #AnnArbor: “Comics in Conversation: Artist, Writer, Reader” panel with @tonyweaverjr.bsky.social @goraina.bsky.social & @scottmccloud.bsky.social (moderator @elephanteater.bsky.social) 1pm Hatcher Library Gallery @umichlibrary.bsky.social www.lib.umich.edu/visit-and-st...

As I’ve mentioned before, Gavin Newsom once tried to pick up my wife, and he’s basically Bill Paxton’s character in True Lies crossed with a beta version of Grok. That’s why it pains me so much to report that he’s been absolutely perfect the past 24 hours or so. Carry on, awful governor.

This weekend: Ann Arbor, MI! @scottmccloud.bsky.social and I will be presenting and signing on Saturday, 6/14 at 10am at the Michigan Theater. Free and open to the public! aadl.org/a2caf

Eid Mubarak! Say it back. 🌙✨🌟

Just talking to my comrades and realise they don't actually have an Eisner ballot, as they're not registered. So, I'm lobbing this in public - anyone in comics (creators, retailers, librarians, educators, editors, whoever) can apply here and vote before June 5th. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
