"Summer of the Wondrous Salamander" by @ivyteas.bsky.social is a weird, whimsical masterpiece with attention to detail and smart, quirky choices on every page (in layouts, lettering and typography in particular). I never knew what was about to happen next and loved every bit of it. It's SO GOOD

thank you so much for reading!! it's such an honour to hear that you enjoyed the design and details 💕

This is one of the comics I bought – and apart from the fact that it is beautifully painted, I still think about the content and certain sentences

thank you for reading! It meant a lot to hear that the story is lingered with you after 💕✨

SBCF is such a labour of love towards comics by Zainab at shortbox to put together every year. it's been surreal even getting to be a part this year, and catching a glimpse of the effort that goes into it all.

The fair concludes on October 31 at 8pm UK time (2/2)

last couple days to grab my comic at sbcf! I really recommend looking through everyone else's comics on the website though, i've been reading sbcf for years and the variety & depth of comics created is always incredible to witness. (1/2)

Have to recommend this one! Beautifully done, sweet & melancholy, and the aforementioned salamander makes some really wonderful faces

thank you!! it means so much to know that you enjoyed this salamander story 💕
