I’ll never forget when I first came across @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social’s Bone. A simple comedy-adventure that evolved into a LOTR-styled dark fantasy epic, this graphic novel series was one of the pillars of my development as a writer. And still to this day, it remains an old favorite of mine. 👏

Which creator represents the meaningful weight in your comics collection? Not the most, best or even favourite but maybe defining creators. My list of creators I love goes on and on. But I’m going Miller, Mignola, Smith, and Simonson. The list would change in an hour.

I am having churros for breakfast because I’m a grownup.

Cannot stress enough and cannot shut up about the fact that Comic Strip Popeye/Olive Oyl were and are 10,000 times better than any animated or film version has ever been, and I will die on that hill

I read SHAZAM: THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL by @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social. A wildly fun all ages take on the character that fits perfectly. It is full of excitement and whimsy and a sense of adventurousness that a lot of superhero comics forget to include. Just fun as heck.

Hapoy belated birthday @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social! Hope you have a great week :) Made this for you.

I really do think this is an excellent metaphor for the moment.

Remember when Bone was in Disney Adventures magazine? I certainly do, so I dug into the story behind its time there, talking with @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social, @comixace.bsky.social, Marv Wolfman, and @cliffchiang.bsky.social about the how it all came together and its impact.

I reread @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social Bone. It's fun. It's silly. It's adventurous. It's caring. It always makes me happy.

I first got the full Bone collection in college and was blown away by the art and storytelling! @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social is an absolute legend. His rat creatures are fun villains you meet early on, and I love them so, so much.

Seguindo o desafio #IC3tober (atrasado), com Bone, um dos mais importantes quadrinhos independentes e até hoje uma das minhas obras favoritas. Criado por @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social @indiecomicscreator.bsky.social

Met this amazing leaf bug when I opened up the shop this morning. Obviously I dubbed it Ted, in homage to @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social I’m choosing to believe that meeting (and not stepping on Ted) means I am about to be part of an epic adventure.

The work of @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social and Rafael Rosado always make me feel positive energy. They commit wholly to projects and characters. @natepowell.bsky.social and @anntelnaes.bsky.social make me feel like I'm seeing things anew, but they speak truth from deep wells of emapthy and observation.

"A satisfying romp for new readers building their own confidence" says @thehb about LITTLE MOUSE SAVES THE DAY by @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social www.hbook.com/story/review...

ALA’s GNCR issharing the nominations for the 2025 Best Graphic Novels for Children Little Mouse Saves the Day by @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social After Little Mouse goes to bed, he spots a mysterious, spooky shape sitting in his closet. Little Mouse must channel his inner superhero to face his fears.

There’s a direct connection between @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social’s Bone appearing in Disney Adventures and my mom advocating for comics in her school. I always wondered how Disney decided to inject an indie juggernaut into its massive readership. @davidharper.bsky.social tracked down this history:

Today's random Pogo paperback. The very first one, from 1951.

Got him a few days ago, but Hank is finally safe with friends! @kikidoodle.bsky.social @eligecos.bsky.social @stalerice.bsky.social @pitiyindee.bsky.social @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social

"Little Mouse wakes up, seeing a shadow in his closet. Is it a cat or a person? He summons his courage to turn on the light to see what it is in" LITTLE MOUSE SAVES THE DAY by @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social www.bayviews.org/review/littl...

I think my favorite example of this is in @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social's Bone, when Gran'ma Ben punches through the wall and comic panel at the same time to grab a rat creature.

Bone Deluxe Slipcase Edition (Part 1): The Valley - Written & Illustrated by @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social (Published by Cartoon Books) Seriously. Great story. Amazing art. FANTASTIC edition. If you can track down the Kickstarter exclusive... it's worth it!

It’s not the easiest to see since it’s in pencil, but this is my most treasured @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social originals. Be jealous, @posijump.bsky.social #comicsky 📚

Oh gosh it’s the first page of BONE! @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social, you should know you’re very very very talented, and I’m thankful for your work. :) 12/

You've probably already got a copy but "Bone" by @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social is absolutely terrific.

A little bit of Bone that has no relevance to modern life. At all. Whatsoever. We’ve moved on. By @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social

Reminiscing the time @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social himself signed my copy of Smiley’s Dream Book @ SDCC 2023… to this day I can’t shut up abt it 🥺🫶💕✨

My exposure to Moby Dick growing up #Bone #Comics Also shout out to Jeff Smith for this amazing series @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social

When I tell you that @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social got me through high school, I sincerely mean it. 🥹🤍

Reading @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social complete Bone for the first time. Lent to me by a friend who raved about it, he was correct. I’m hooked!

My copy of Bone Deluxe came in. I’m so glad I backed this project. It’s a hardcover deluxe book collecting Out From Boneville and The Great Cow Race, part of a planned 4 part release. Released in 2025 by Cartoon Books @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social It comes with 6 high quality art prints and a map.
