Bandage hand applied by @jstephenscomics.bsky.social, @pitrener.bsky.social, Nick Craine and myself, at Preney Print and Litho in Windsor (where Dave Sim printed Cerebus). The staff thought we were looney. I wrote 'you win' on a Canadian $1 bill and put it in a random copy.

Excellent advice from @cheryllynneaton.bsky.social, here. I'll underline: make sure your social bios all have that valuable link to your web site. Sure, it's likely searchable, but whatever you can do to reduce friction for people who want to find you is helpful.
