Happy belated Mary Sue day!! @peachchild.bsky.social has put together a killer team for this, who all clearly share the same creative origin story (being bitten by a radioactive blorbo.) Mary Sue: the friends we (sometimes literally) make along the way, during the mortifying ordeal of being known.

I used @5calls.org to find the right folks, please do so if you can. 5calls.org/issue/gender...

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log. This tells me two things: 1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day. (212) 486-4430

I am so STOKED for this, everyone's got a Mary Sue in their past, and if someone says they don't, they are LYING.

The Comics Courier's second issue went live on Kickstarter this morning, so you should back it because The Comics Courier rules and @explodingarrow.bsky.social rules and everyone involved rules. Also, come to SKTCHD next week as I have a chat with Tiffany about The Comics Courier. It also rules.

it's been a hot minute since I've podcasted, and I forgot how fun it could be. thank you for the great convo and questions, Justin!
