This sketchbook comic made my kid laugh harder than anything else I've ever drawn, so I am currently considering it my finest work.

I’m all for this change. But it should have been an open call to the community, initiated months ago. Not 6 days prior. HCD is important to me. I take pains to plan in advance and ensure I have childcare, that I’m not on deadline, and that I can bring together local artists to draw in community.

Very glad to receive an honor for outstanding comic series from @libcomix.bsky.social for the Peapod Farm series!

Abolish ICE! For your printer, in both color and black and white.

My little matched bookends.

What is the thing where when you call a service line and the automated voice has typing noises interspersed with its robotic speaking lines, like it's click-clacking on its little imaginary keyboard?

Watching well-meaning folks “fixing” the Time cover by making a different one USING AI IMAGE GENERATION is the latest thing making me feel like a trapped lab rat.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the child I was at 15.

I’ve got a minicomic collecting all four issues of my annual Halloween comic in this show! The MEGA MICHY collection, about the Loch Mich Monster, Michy! Come check it out!

My kid has this bear that I refer to as “topless bear,” which infuriates my kid because they insist that “it’s wearing a shirt!” So I put it to you: what’s up with this bear?

My new picture book, Searching for Wocks, is out June 9! You can preorder it now! This book is about the joy of discovering tiny objects, and the beauty of what turns up on a toddler’s pockets! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/760970...

A cozy conversation with an old friend on Monday, for a crowd of 1200+! @goraina.bsky.social came to town with her new book, Facing Feelings, and we had a chat about it, about comics, being comics buds for 20 years, and snakes. You can read more about it on my patreon! www.patreon.com/cw/lucyknisley

#Fiction #HBReviewoftheWeek SUGAR SHACK by @lucyknisley.bsky.social (RH Graphic/ @randomhousekids.bsky.social): "The bulk of the emotionally resonant narrative reflects Jen’s everyday experiences, emphasizing themes of growth, change, friendship, and creativity." www.hbook.com/story/review...

Yesterday, on a holiday where kids go door to door connecting with their community, my sweet town was terrorized by government-backed thugs. Our schools locked down. We patrolled the streets, warning vulnerable people to stay inside. Helicopters circled incessantly. ICE get out.

Get ya some buds to go to the re-screened movie from 16 years ago, who will support and assist your very specific costume that will be the *only* costume anyone is wearing at the theater, and therefore the best.

Coming home the other night: I was feeling’ not great, but then I glimpsed an angel in my very own tree!

Happy Halloween from Pottsfield, IL.

I am so glad I systematically fangirled my way into @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social ‘s good graces to get this new one months in advance! I looooved it! Sucks y’all gotta wait ‘til spring for it!

weird phenomenon i keep encountering where “writers” correctly identify the soul-sucking danger that large language models pose to their craft, but for some reason have no problem using generative AI to make images. like….are you stupid!!!!

Anyone have questions for Lucy? I'll be interviewing her for SERIOUS FUN!

This will be the fourth year I’ve made a MICHY minicomic to give out (along with candy) on Halloween! We’re not as great as “the caramel apple house,” but I’ll take “the comic house!”

A few in-person events I’ll be doing in the next couple of months! Pop Con Green Bay, WI 10/4 Banned Books Litworks Hardwood Heights, IL 10/11 EPICFEST Charlotte, NC 11/8 In Convo with Raina Telgemeier Downers Grove, IL 11/10

A French bakery just opened a block away from the existing French bakery in our town, and if anyone knows the details of what is obviously extremely riveting pastry drama, I will pay.

With everything, I’d almost forgotten to feel angry and sad about when I was pregnant and in pain and under constant scrutiny and judgement. Got me! Back to being angry and sad about that, too! Add it to the list! (Neurodivergence is beautiful and pregnant people can take acetaminophen, ya dopes!)

So excited to be at @cartooncrossroads.bsky.social this weekend! Come to a great show and come say hi to meee!

This past weekend was our local Evanston Folk Fest— a gorgeous time by the lake with friends and great tunes. Tons of amazing artists, but my faves were @tuneyards.bsky.social and Loudon Wainrwright III. Special guest: cool moon over Lake Michigan.

Went to a lovely book/dinner club last night, featuring my book, Relish!
