Remember when Bone was in Disney Adventures magazine? I certainly do, so I dug into the story behind its time there, talking with @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social, @comixace.bsky.social, Marv Wolfman, and @cliffchiang.bsky.social about the how it all came together and its impact.

I reread @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social Bone.

It's fun. It's silly. It's adventurous. It's caring.

It always makes me happy.

I first got the full Bone collection in college and was blown away by the art and storytelling! @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social is an absolute legend. His rat creatures are fun villains you meet early on, and I love them so, so much.

Met this amazing leaf bug when I opened up the shop this morning.
Obviously I dubbed it Ted, in homage to @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social
Iโ€™m choosing to believe that meeting (and not stepping on Ted) means I am about to be part of an epic adventure.

The work of @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social and Rafael Rosado always make me feel positive energy. They commit wholly to projects and characters.
@natepowell.bsky.social and @anntelnaes.bsky.social make me feel like I'm seeing things anew, but they speak truth from deep wells of emapthy and observation.

Thereโ€™s a direct connection between @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.socialโ€™s Bone appearing in Disney Adventures and my mom advocating for comics in her school.

I always wondered how Disney decided to inject an indie juggernaut into its massive readership. @davidharper.bsky.social tracked down this history:

"Pogo" by Walt Kelly The cover shows Pogo holding a suitcase and umbrella and raising his hat to the reader.

I think my favorite example of this is in @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social's Bone, when Gran'ma Ben punches through the wall and comic panel at the same time to grab a rat creature.
