Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
We’ve got less than 20 days to get our queer romance/fantasy book, PASSING IN THE NIGHT, funded. We need your help! Please share the link and back if you can!

Here’s a little taste of my art in the book!
cover reveal!😭💛 Nora At Night, my first PB as illustrator AND author! Daytime is so loud for Nora! What kind of sounds will nighttime bring?
Many thanks to the best @janinele.bsky.social & everyone @kidscanpress.bsky.social Out Sept 1 2026! you can pre-order now wherever you get your books! #kidlit
Here's a look at the French interiors for Frédéric Brrémaud and @vicomaco.bsky.social's Havana Split. (English edition coming in August from Mad Cave Studios.)
Offering this up again while I have a few copies. It's not much, but it is something I can share during hard times. I wrote this book to help others. Best I can do is get it to those who may be comforted by it.
Wow, soooo gorgeous.
What an adorable character!
i spent my entire comics career thinking i was slow as mud for taking 2-3 years to finish each book, until my french editor called me "fast" and when i asked what he meant by that he said that on average french artists are taking 5-10 years to finish a book
Happy Book Birthday to our book! Available for order wherever books are sold.

This is why I wish we had a Cartoonist's Guild. Not a collective. Not a union (legally not possible). But a guild with collective bargaining (and insurance omg).
But who of us has the time to maintain one??? We are kept so damn busy bleeding our fingers dry for publishers who have NO CLUE.
This. Read books. Join a choir. Invite your friends over for dinner. Paint a mural on your neighbor's garage with a bunch of kids and use it as a backdrop for the play your other neighbor wrote. Take up knitting. Give a sweater to someone asking for change. Socks too. Plant a garden. Spread beauty.
Activist Mollie Davis unfurled a scroll of all the school shootings in the US
In 2019.
I deliberately showed the end of the scroll in this illustration, with the hope & belief that there will be an end someday.
How much longer until we act??
Illo from No Brain the Same (June 2026 (c)me)
“Do not deny yourself the delights of this life. Instead make a feast of all that you are given.”
The best thing
is when
I feel down about my writing,
but then open
a manuscript anyway
only to fall in love
with it
all over again.
You know what I mean🫶💪
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.
Zach Rabiroff, as always, pulling back the curtain behind the people who make the comics-selling market tick. SO MUCH nitty-gritty behind-the-scenes info in this interview with Books With Pictures' Katie Pryde.

@jonscrazyblues.bsky.social @charlenedraws.bsky.social @troystory.bsky.social All your reposts mean so much to me! Thanks for the encouragement. 😊✨✨✨
Such a cute kitty in the snow! ❄️
Thank you, Charlene! This will be our third kitty. My oldest and I both have had our familiars for 9-10 years and my youngest has really been wanting her own for a while. My husband has finally said yes to a third…a Christmas miracle! :)
