Thank you so much @elephanteater.bsky.social !! 😭

Hanging out at @liczfest.com today until 4:30! Come say hi if you're in the area!

I got all the new @diskettepress.com books at @liczfest.com because I have excellent taste

LICZ! IS TODAY! ✨ Come by Grewal Hall from 11:00am - 4:30pm for the coolest comics and zine fest in town! Later in the day, enjoy some zine-making and an open mic night over at A Novel Concept and Dear Ollie! Use this map to navigate around the fest! Meet some creators, grab a drink, and enjoy!

Hi I have a new mini comic debuting this weekend at @liczfest.com !! If you like monster girls and bags this is for you

this and @liczfest.com is going on good weekend for looking at paper

SCHEDULE CHANGE: LICZ! will now end 30 minutes earlier at 4:30pm! Unfortunately, our venue has accidentally double-booked the space toward the end of our fest. Sometimes things like this happen. To try to keep things running smoothly, we've agreed to close doors to the public just a bit early.

LICZ! is tomorrow! 🙀 We're getting all the last-minute details squared away. It's so exciting!! Keep an eye out tomorrow morning for our table map!

And while @danielelkin.bsky.social is selling Comics to Poets, I'll be selling Comics to Zinesters this Saturday in Lansing MI at @liczfest.com - the same great flavors almost a whole continent apart!

Here's the rest of 'em--our final slate of exhibitors‼️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

Wow! Could we have made a graphic any busier?! Guess what. We're not ONLY going to have 50+ exhibitors in Grewal Hall this Saturday... We're also going to have some events at A Novel Concept and Dear Ollie too!

New LICZ! shirts! (▰˘◡˘▰) We made ~40 or so shirts for volunteers and attendees who wanna snag one. $20 each at the LICZ! welcome table this Saturday! Once they're gone... they're gone!

LICZ! '26 is sponsored in part by @cartoonstudies.bsky.social, sending us support all the way from Vermont! It feels really special to have a name like CCS attached to this fest. Thank you so much for helping to keep this fest running, and let's get more comics made!

Excited to get back to my old stomping grounds this weekend!

Even more indie creators on their way to Lansing! 😎 ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

See you this Saturday!

Our SECOND flyer design from local artist and LICZ! exhibitor Chris Mattei! Listen, I'm gonna break out of the semi-professional voice for a second. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

Thank you to MSU Libraries for partnering with us once again! MSU libraries' Murray & Hong Special Collections holds one the largest collections of zines in the Big 10, and one of the largest collections in comics in the world!

LICZ! is in ONE WEEK‼️ Really excited to see a bunch of familiar faces. Just as excited to meet some new ones!! Catch you all at Grewal Hall next Saturday! :^)

LICZ! is a recipient of the City of Lansing's Mini Pocket Grant Program for the second year running, and we're so grateful for the support! Without help, it wouldn't be possible to put together a fest of this scale. So, even a mini grant feels huge! Thanks @lansingmichigan.bsky.social !

We're just a little more than a week out! 🙀 In nine days, find HUNDREDS of comics and zines all under one roof at the illustrious Grewal Hall! If you haven't already, make sure you've got your calendars marked! :^) 📚

Huge news for bright color lovers! 👾 Last night we made enough to order our very first drum of ink: fluorescent pink!

We hit a milestone yesterday. :) Now, no matter what, we're getting a machine. This duplicator is going to have a home in Lansing! And it only took us nine days of fundraising, which is absolutely incredible.

🥳 I'm trying something big! Ultra Mega is fundraising to get a specialty printer--a Risograph Duplicator--to make it easier and cheaper for artists and publishers to print their comics, zines, posters and more in Lansing, MI. Head to the 🔗 for more info!

What an unbelievable experience at @licz.bsky.social in Lansing, Michigan, yesterday. I'm still reeling from my experience exhibiting and the quantity of positive, open-minded attendees who were interested in BOOKS. I hardly even had time to grab a snack throughout the day!
