Hey, what do you know? A book I've lettered made it into The Beat's BEST COMICS OF 2025! Congrats to the whole team involved, and you better go check this book out now ^_^

Is this the last dance for Orla and Gwyn? ORLA! #5, from me, @sallycantirino.bsky.social, @dearbhlala.bsky.social, @letteringbear.bsky.social & @madcavestudios.com, is released on Christmas Eve.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

This is the first Best of 2025 list I've seen ORLA! appear on thus far, so huge thanks to The Beat for the shout-out, and for the very kind review. And the list as a whole is such a great reminder of how many top notch comics we've been treated to this past year.

YAAAAAAAAAY ORLA!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖 @johnlees.bsky.social @dearbhlala.bsky.social @letteringbear.bsky.social

One thing I’ve loved about working on ORLA! is getting to enjoy @sallycantirino.bsky.social, @dearbhlala.bsky.social & @letteringbear.bsky.social (& @robutoid.bsky.social!) crafting beautiful title/credits splash pages for each issue. (And the one we have lined up for issue #5 is another cracker!)

The final issue of ORLA! has gone to print, meaning active production from me, @sallycantirino.bsky.social, @dearbhlala.bsky.social & @letteringbear.bsky.social is now complete. It’s a bittersweet feeling, but I’m so proud of the work we’ve done, and can’t wait for you to see how the story ends.

How it feels knowing my husband and I took the gyms at Pizzaland and Holsten's in Pokémon Go:

If you thought the end of ORLA! #3 was wild, just wait 'til you read today's issue from @johnlees.bsky.social & @sallycantirino.bsky.social @madcavestudios.com 👀

In honor of having just finished the last issue of Orla!, here's the lettering stack of #1! And remember, #4 is out this week! From the minds of @johnlees.bsky.social @sallycantirino.bsky.social @dearbhlala.bsky.social & myself, edited by Jon Moisan, published by @madcavestudios.com

I’d just like to take a moment to declare that @letteringbear.bsky.social is a wizard of visual storytelling. His intuitive, immersive approach to the letters makes me feel like I’m reading my own story for the first time.
