An unspeakable cultural loss. FLUKE would not exist without Bizarro-Wuxtry. This town will never be the same. FLUKE will continue, but there will always be a missing piece.

Some glitch photos from @flukeathens.bsky.social! /// #glitch #glitchphotography #flukeathens #zinefest

Would you like to know what you listened to at FLUKE yesterday? The OFFICIAL FLUKE 2026 PLAYLIST can be found here: flukeisawesome.blogspot.com/2026/03/fluk...

Look at these Petri dish chandeliers at @flukeathens.bsky.social

I had a fantastic time slinging zines at my first @flukeathens.bsky.social as a vendor. Now, time to start shipping out the first round of pre-orders.

Reminder that @kismetgames.bsky.social will have copies of this WW shit tomorrow at @flukeathens.bsky.social! (I'm surprised Robert made a bsky account, lol). D&D zines, Troika! expansion that comes with a free core book download, tarot cards, stickers, 3D printed sword book marks, and dice trays!

Imagining somebody tripping and losing all their zines in this fire pit at @flukeathens.bsky.social tomorrow (it will probably not be lit, don’t worry about your zines)

Mild Pain is here! ORDER NOW ⬇️ mildpain.bigcartel.com IF U LIVE LOCALLY ⬇️ These will be available at Bizarro-Wuxtry later this week but… I’ll be debuting at @flukeathens.bsky.social on Saturday March 28 (this weekend) from 10a-5p at Live Wire

Saturday I’ll be at FLUKE @flukeathens.bsky.social debuting my new mini-comic collecting the first two years of SHADY CREEK strips! ***PLEASE NOTE THE NEW VENUE***

Thanks to Flagpole Magazine for featuring us in this week’s issue! flagpole.com/uncategorize...

Working on the FLUKE 2026 playlist. How many times y’all wanna hear “Mary’s Prayer” by Danny Wilson?

We’re showing off a table full of ‘zines from the FLUKE archive at Park Hall in the UGA campus as part of the English Department’s “Fanzine Frenzy” event. Come dig through part of our collection from noon-2:00pm

A reminder because we're feeling particularly fed up with this sort of thing today: Any work, whether visual or text-based, that is "created" by or with the partial assistance of AI or a "Large Language Model" (LLM) is NOT WELCOME at FLUKE.

People who attend FLUKE 2026 (March 28 in Athens, GA) will receive one of these exclusive glow-in-the-dark buttons. What a joy!

Oh, hey, we finally updated our banner image to the 2026 show. We are not very good at "social media"

I’m teaching a free workshop this Friday with @comicsworkshop.bsky.social ! Come through! bit.ly/SAW-MildPain

Check out all of the amazing artists who have confirmed that they'll be at FLUKE 2026 (March 28 in Athens, Georgia). More are confirming every day. It's gonna be a real good time. flukeisawesome.blogspot.com/2026/01/fluk...

More confirmations today, and more names added to the OFFICIAL EXHIBITOR LIST for FLUKE 2026 flukeisawesome.blogspot.com/2026/01/fluk...

Patrick Dean, Co-organizer of FLUKE, left this life in 2021 but we found some sketches for unused FLUKE art in the papers he left behind and we're probably gonna do something with it this year. Probably print it on some bags or something. He would have wanted it that way.

Said the FLUKE social media password out loud in a small house filled with lots of people today so there may be more posts here in the future. We’ll see what happens.

As exhibitors confirm, we're adding them to the list. You can see who will be at FLUKE 2026 on our website here: flukeisawesome.blogspot.com/2026/01/fluk...

Some Fluke '25 wrap-up thoughts and a few pages from my Godzilla zine up on Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/godzil...

Had a great time as always at @flukeathens.bsky.social yesterday! Now I’m TOTALLY WIPED OUT 🫠

Had the best birthday in a while: 1) Brunch 2) Got some awesome stuff at @flukeathens.bsky.social 3) Cupcakes 4) Italian wine bar for dinner 5) Watched Heretic 6) Currently getting drunk and subjecting my mother to Be My Cat: A Film for Anne

I read my new "Crimson the Clown" nursery rhyme aloud for @undeadequipped.bsky.social, @fleamarked.bsky.social, @lastbosscomics.bsky.social, & Adam Daughhetee at dinner after @flukeathens.bsky.social. Absolute joy. Also, @garretizumi.bsky.social was my table-mate for the day, which was cool as heck.

We’ll be going to sleep for a few months soon, but we’ll be announcing the official date of FLUKE 2026 before we shut down for the “off-season.”

Thank you thank you THANK YOU to everyone who was a part of FLUKE 2025, whether as an exhibitor, an attendee, a sponsor, a volunteer, or someone just watching along from afar. We are consistently amazed by the community that we are a part of.
