For those coming to town for TCAF, I'm making a thread of some other artsy fun things you might want to do while here. Obviously stopping by the festival founder's Beguiling/Little Island comic shops, 319 College Street. #TCAF

PROTECT KAIJU BIG BATTEL

sing for me 🎭

in 2016 I made a comic titled “Mr. Gotcha” that would become most viewed and circulated image I’d create. Now it is the subject of a book by @glennf.com examining its history in online discourse. That One Matt Bors comic is live on Kickstarter—back it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle...

Oh God, NO. Comics is so, so white. Animation is not. I do not want an American pipeline because an American pipeline would shut out black voices.

Earlier this week, the ALA released their 2025 Most Challenged Books Report. Thought top books are the headline, this is the data point that stands out to me, "92 percent of all book challenges were initiated by pressure groups, government officials and decision makers" not parents or teachers.

Death to Pachuco by @ohhhaeee.bsky.social, Lee Loughridge, and moi is now at your local bookshop if they're any good. bookshop.org/p/books/deat...

Long time friendo and game designer @geoffreygolden.bsky.social has moved the classic Adventure Snack series, which are short text adventures you can enjoy while having a snack, off of Substack to a new home! There are a lot of them you might enjoy. adventuresnack.com

Very much love doing the Doughboys Book, our Animaniacs meets The Simpsons vibe but very much about real people. You can probably drive through Los Angeles using this map of Susser floating on a smell. Art by @fredcstresing.bsky.social and @megcasey.bsky.social.

Afroman found not liable. A complete victory for the rapper and a massive unforced error from the cops and their attorney. www.billboard.com/pro/afroman-...

Layoff news really sucks. I don't have anything sage to offer but solidarity. If any affected PRH/S&S folx want to chat, I'm totally open. Personally, I was laid off from my editorial role last October, and honestly, it completely shocked me. While everyone always thinks it might happen in

PRH having a slew of layoffs just months after S&S did theirs is just so disheartening. It’s hard not to feel jaded. I feel so bad for all my editorial colleagues and for the fact that Dial BYFR has been completely shuttered. We need books. Children need books. And those editors deserved better.

One of my early books, "The Official Handbook of the Bowieverse", with art by @kennykeil.bsky.social, is now FREE to download here. Go do it. You'll love it whether you're a Bowie fan or a degenerate (comics fan).

Why comics creators must fight the proposed censorship of H.R. 7661

So be it, see to it, I will outlive every company I've ever worked for!

Sad but necessary self-care: had to cancel my trip to #ECCC this week for health reasons. I’m so grateful to be cared for, but I’ll miss y’all 🥺😭

Critical Thinking returns to examine early Black representation in comics, considering industry, innovation, and How Comics Are Made.

I apologize to the 3 Ninjas fan community for the harm I've caused. youtube.com/shorts/bS_sJ...

historical detail I can't help but bring up: by some accounts, the event that instigated the British soldiers to open fire on Crispus Attacks and the rest of the crowd in the Boston Massacre was a soldier being hit by a snowball

I played a delightful game of ALL-CARDS with @geoffreygolden.bsky.social using a deck pulled from the Strange Beast Tarot, @jameybash.bsky.social's Tarot of Sorts and Alexander Burden's Tarot Obscura!

When I tell you I had this idea like two year ago and just drew it in under an hour lol anyways long live BIG C!!!!!!!

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

ALL-CARDS is fully funded! Thanks everyone!

🎯Black folks been knowing.

why are all the YA readers on threads, i don't want to be on threads, we need more kid lit book buyers on bluesky :( :( :( :(

i shouldn’t give this piece any more attention than it has already garnered but i feel like it is worth pointing out some flaws in the argument/unquestioned assumptions thread 1/

Our second featured horror film by a black director this month was Zoe Kravitz's Blink Twice and thanks to the news, it is UNFORTUNATELY RELEVANT. Join the crew @definitelyvita.bsky.social @amandameadows.bsky.social & @octopushearts.bsky.social for a wild one! shows.acast.com/progressivel...

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

If your video game has a main boss, and I beat that main boss, I want to see credits. I don’t care if that’s the true ending or not. I want to see a bunch of developer names scroll after I finally defeat the jerk who’s been taunting me all game and gave me wrist cramps!

year of the fire horse risograph 🐎🔥

Happy this landed in our radar from @geoffreygolden.bsky.social - we just backed ALL-CARDS: The Trading Card Storytelling Game on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/dev... Now to convince him to adopt "Golden" from KPop Demon Hunters as his official theme song - courts be damned!

To my shock and amazement, I have strong opinions on the new Sonic the Hedgehog audio drama!

Just published our episode on Blink Twice to the Patreon and set for release tomorrow. Remember: if you are assigned a doctor or therapist and they turn out to be Kyle MacLachlan, you may be entitled to monetary compensation...and you should leave immediately.

Almost all people in power are writing dangerously unhinged and ridiculous fictions.

This Zinequest project ought to be funded by now. Super cool idea that incorporates random trading cards you crack or have lying around the house (even ones not meant for gaming). Selfishly requesting you back it so I can play the game myself.
