Our window displays at @comixexperience.bsky.social by the great Katie Borrman are always strong, but in my opinion this one is the ne plus ultra, perfectly capturing comics, and multiple styles in a tribute to the classic gag by Bushmiller!

I am really excited to interview Terry LaBan, whose 90s work was at Fantagraphics and Vertigo, and is now doing middle reader graphic novels. MENDEL is really really good, too! m.youtube.com/watch?v=WLlQ...

There are a LOT of people who were actively rooting for Diamond comics to fail. Well, your wishes appear to be coming true, as Diamond files for Chapter 11, and this is going to be TRULY dire news for the Direct Market, at least in the short and medium term. www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

Well, today's OTHER news (of Diamond filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy) is probably going to strongly overshadow this, but my interview with Atom Freeman dropped this morning, and, looking through the archive, it appears this is THE longest show he has ever done. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1gP...

Sunday 12/29 at 10am PST, please join us for the final Graphic Novel Club conversation of the year, as I am joined by the team supreme of @kierongillen.bsky.social and @stephaniehans.bsky.social to talk about the craft of comics, and WE CALLED THEM GIANTS. Watch it at youtube.com/live/XY9S-Ln...

I think that's the fastest turnaround to publish my column... ever? www.comicsbeat.com/tilting-at-w...

I just submitted the two hundred and ninety-ninth edition of TILTING AT WINDMILLS to @comixace.bsky.social . Dang.

Did I ever share the latest Pic by Katie Borrman for @comixexperience.bsky.social ? Damn, she goes from strength to strength!!!

This is a VERY original graphic novel for our monthly selection. Find out more at www.comixexperience.com/graphic-nove... and get a GREAT monthly book, with an exclusive signed bookplate, and a livestreamed interview EACH AND EVERY MONTH, and support a great store at the same time. Do it. Now!

You really have no idea how damn cute this selection is! Join our kid's club at www.comixexperience.com/graphic-nove... and get an amazing new book for your middle reader, with a sticker and a pin, and a livestreamed interview with the creators EACH AND EVERY MONTH. Makes a perfect gift, yo.

After 35 years of trying to successfully run a comic book store (of all silly things!) in a City that is addled by tech and brutal on being a small business, I am so very thankful to the many people who make it conceivable we could stay in business for another 35 years. (More)

Here is a pic sent to me by Michael Drivas (Serpico in this pic), who went on to open Big Brain Comics in mpls, with Rob Bennett (the Hesher) of @comixexperience.bsky.social in, let's say, 1992? Look at the wall of back issues then, or how GNs had a little room to be displayed and not just spines!

This is a damn fine book, from a damn fine cartoonist! Hope you can all watch on Sunday morning (11/24)

Looking forward to this conversation on Sunday morning! youtube.com/live/DNes_lX...

The big one is here: the 21st annual BookScan review! Find out what and how sold in 2023! www.comicsbeat.com/tilting-at-w...

Ahhhhh!

We'll be going and doing a display; see you there? www.calacademy.org/nightlife/ni...

The store is ready for Daniel Clowes on Sun 10/29. Watch the stream if you can't come? youtube.com/watch?v=7jqM...

Timmy Heague loves comics and I love Timmy. #ComicsRetailersRule

Sunday, October 29th, meet best-selling author Dan Clowes to support his incredible new book MONICA! Public signing at noon! At 10am (PST) , we host a conversation with Dan for members of our GN Club. Two seats still available, email [email protected] or watch: youtube.com/live/7jqMlSY...

In my opinion, Lifford terrifically harmed DC Comics editorially. She was in charge when DC pulled out of Diamond, ushering the current free fall that the direct market is now facing. Maybe some of these awful decisions can now start to be reversed? www.comicsbeat.com/dc-comics-he...

Sometimes I think I have the coolest job in comics... LOVE talking to cartoonists!

I am really looking forward to interviewing Ben Hatke tomorrow (Sun 10/22, 10a pst) for the smart and thrilling THINGS IN THE BASEMENT for our Kid's Graphic Novel Club! Watch the livestream at youtube.com/live/vI6PWRL... (or anytime afterwards)

I interviewed Clowes about 8 years ago, in the first 6 months of the Graphic Novel Clubs.... but the recording of that one is pretty terrible and lo-fi. So I am really really excited for a "re do"!

At the very least, Timmy and I will have a fun time talking comics!

I have way too many pictures of this goofball on my phone. It's Rollie!

I have never been great about actually USING the Twitter, but I am going to try harder over here
