Hey friends, we are happy to say that Crouton is recovering and our pet insurance helped with a chunk of the cost but there's still a ways to go. If Crouton Content (tm) has ever brought you a fraction of the joy the real deal brings to us, sharing this would be appreciated. gofund.me/e4556c7f2

I got laid off from my day job this week so if you know anyone who is looking for a cool and awesome senior full-stack software engineer/team lead with tons of experience who also writes comics and has no trace of poster’s madness, let me know! Please! Got job search advice? Hit me!

😺 EXCLUSIVE @boomstudios preview: Baby Garfield is back! In Baby #Garfield #2, the tiny troublemaker discovers why Mondays are the worst and has his very first encounter with… lasagna. 🍝 By @hellocookie.bsky.social & @heywhitney.bsky.social! #comicsky Preview the hijinks before the 4/29 release:

We are getting Mac back today, and the news is good overall with his results but the grand total for his vet visit is $6330.

Sorry for the influx of posts but I just want to say that I know times are tough all around. We don’t expect to make the whole GFM but to those who have donated or shared: you’ve lessened this blow during a really heartbreaking time for us, and it means so much.

I know I’m not on here much anymore and I hate that this is why I’m returning but thank y’all for understanding, your compassion, and for helping to spread the word 😭❤️

Mac has been through so much—he was shot numerous times before he was two y/o. W adopted him as a sweet senior boy from his lovely previous owner and all we want is for him to live out the rest of his days happy and loved ❤️

Not to add to that GFM thread but I’m only working part-time currently and the two writing jobs I had? I’m waiting on contracts from November, which means I’m also waiting on payments for them.

Our good boy Mac is spending the next 24 hours with the vet, and we’ve been told that the vet bill will be even more than we thought 😔 Additionally, Kaylee, my sweet kitty had a medical emergency today too and we’ve set up a GFM to help with costs: www.gofundme.com/f/help-mac-g...

See you at TCAF 2026! 🎉

Two years ago, my partner and I adopted a sweet senior dog named Mac. While senior, he's in great health except for some extreme congestion that he's had since Nov. We're out of in-house vet options and need to take him for pricey additional testing: www.gofundme.com/f/help-mac-g...

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

some of the olympic women including maddie mastro have been reposting this if you’re curious about the vibe in response to the US men’s little display

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

In search of environmental concept artists / background artists for paid assignment. Looking for anything speculative, not set in the real world, but otherwise open to a broad range of styles! Show me your portfolios and landscape pieces! 🙏 RT's appreciated.

look ashley is some kind of hero and you should go to the website she made, www.standwithminnesota.com, and see if there's somewhere you wanna throw a few bucks

For so long Amazon has had a monopoly on selling self-published books. Good to see that @bookshop.org is ready to compete in the space! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I subscribe to a lot of indie pubs, but here are five worker-owned companies I'll never abandon: - @404media.co: essential technology! - @rascal.news: essential tabletop! - @aftermath.site: essential video games! - @defector.com: essential everything! - @hellgatenyc.com: essential New York!

I haven't been very online lately, and I've felt really disconnected from pretty much everything. But I just want all my comic pals and peers to know that I am here rooting for you, and I can't wait to see all the amazing things y'all are working on ❤️

Cat's outta the bag! I'm one of the creators working on BABY GARFIELD over at Boom. Very excited to be a part of this project.

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

Hey illustrators/agents! I’m a #kidlit art director starting work on a new picture book—we’re looking for: expressive, commercial, human characters; fantasy; magic; AND Mahjong! The tiles! The drama! Please respond w/ samples + folio link. Please no emails/DMs. 💙❤️ #artcommissions

🏝️ #TeaseYaGame 🏝️ We're making a cozy co-op adventure called Capy Castaway! 🐾 Cute animal shenanigans 💬 Deeply unserious dialogue 🎩 EVERYTHING is a hat

Do NOT create chatbots based on creators you like. It is creepy. It is the wildest, nastiest, creepshit thing you can do omfg please act like someone normal raised you! This is for everyone in every fandom! Don't do this shit!

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most. Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

Tomorrow I'll be at the Maybe Market! It's my last show of the year, and if you have any littles to shop for, come get some books from me and say hello 👋 There's lots of incredible vendors too!

Next up is my own market this Saturday! The Maybe Market is organized by me and Tory Woollcott with sporadic help from a few others. I thought maybe I’d start a little thread with all the vendor spotlights I’m posting to IG. #toronto #holidaymarket #themaybemarket

Right, this event needs $1500 to happen. There are 600 participating bookstores & for most it’s their busiest sales day of the year, or is second only to Indie Bookstore Day / Small Business Saturday. Editors/publishers, this is a no-brainer of an opportunity for your imprint. Romancelandia: pls RT

I know we all have a lot of other things to worry about right now but this is your PSA to get the latest covid booster & flu shot if you haven't already. It takes a couple weeks to build immunity and holidays will be here soon. (Stickers from my shop! shop.breelundberg.com/product/get-...)

What's the buzz around The Curie Society: Game of Code? Check out what @hellocookie.bsky.social had to say and pre-order the book today! 👾👁️

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

it's that time of year again, so I'm on the hunt for an artist to work with on a new design for @autonocast.bsky.social if you love drawing cars and robots and sci-fi scenes and are open for commissions, or you know someone who fits that description, drop a reply!

I came on here to scream into the void about this and I deeply appreciate all the people who are already equally horrified

Launching next week!

PILLOW TALK by @hellocookie.bsky.social was added to The List 2025: Great Reads for Youth by the Toronto Public Library.

Friends, MICA is hiring a full time faculty member in Illustration. If you are a professional illustrator or comics artist who also loves teaching, I encourage you to apply. Join me and the rest of the faculty, it is a wonderful place to work and teach: mica.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Facult...

BOOM! Studios is HIRING!!! We're looking for a talented, organized, and detail-oriented Assistant Editor with 1-2 years in editorial or a similar field! You will most likely be working directly with me on a variety of comic titles. Please visit the link to apply! bit.ly/42ooXLq #comicjobs

Wait, I forgot an important one: DON'T QUIT YOUR JOB TO START A COMIC. You can quit your job if and only if your comic is making enough money to sustain you. Maybe if you're a trust fund kid or something, but if that's the case, you've got bigger problems, like trying not be evil.

Howdy friends, I'm hosting a NEW CREATOR BREAKFAST at @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social this year for new / young / inexperienced comic creators, sponsored by ReedPop. If you want to meet and talk shop with peers, pros, and publishers, apply here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

White Squirrel and Andrea are almost single-handedly holding together several independent artist economies and this is a godsend to any intl people who were blindsided by US tariffs before their fulfillment process (but after purchase)!!

How to apologize: a short thread. So. You've fucked up. You did or said or wrote something that angered and/or offended and/or hurt someone or many someones. You need to apologize--either because you were wrong, or because people are telling you to apologize. Which one is the case doesn't matter.

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it. It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

Editors: I’m currently looking for upcoming writing work. Comics and graphic novels are preferred but I’m open to discussing other stuff. I love writing for MG, tween, and YA, and a variety of genres (see next skeet) I’m not on here too much right now but you can reach out at [email protected] 💌

Funny, but not as entertaining as @hellocookie.bsky.social and Mel Valentine Vargas' PILLOW TALK.

Happy #Letterer Appreciation Day! Wanted to take a moment to spotlight some of the books I’ve been lucky enough to work on, including The Do-Over series by @letsgorodrigo.bsky.social and @kurisquare.bsky.social and Pillow Talk by @hellocookie.bsky.social and @onlinevalentine.bsky.social

Trying so hard to get back to writing today, but both of my pets are farting up a storm, and breathing has become perilous...so if I manage to actually get anything done, it'll be a small miracle.
