What better way to show people your interests than to stick it right onto a water bottle? Or onto a laptop? Or anywhere that a sticker could technically be stuck? 👀 What's that? You thought of a better way? Sorry I can't hear you, I'm swimming in my PILE OF COOL STICKERS 🏊‍♂️ Topa.to/Stickers 🏊‍♂️

You can read my Hourly Comics here! Updating throughout the day. www.patreon.com/posts/150244...

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.

Well this would be fun. Booked bookstore to host a 'Golden' evening for hot moms on Thursday, Jan 22 w @lucyknisley.bsky.social evanstonroundtable.com/2026/01/19/b...

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?

For readers who are about to lose care, I have been told that the Trans Youth Emergency Project is helping the families of trans youth contingency plan to access that care. www.transyouthemergencyproject.org

Every day, I lose some respect for people who continue to casually use this garbage. I wonder if they’ll finally pause when our whole state goes dark. www.wbez.org/environment/...

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.

Happy mishmash, everybody! An excerpt from Sugar Shack, available at your local bookshop, library, and wherever books are sold! (1/3)

I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.

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.
