Met this amazing leaf bug when I opened up the shop this morning.
Obviously I dubbed it Ted, in homage to @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social
I’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.

"A satisfying romp for new readers building their own confidence" says @thehb about LITTLE MOUSE SAVES THE DAY by @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social www.hbook.com/story/review...

ALA’s GNCR issharing the nominations for the 2025 Best Graphic Novels for Children Little Mouse Saves the Day by @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social After Little Mouse goes to bed, he spots a mysterious, spooky shape sitting in his closet. Little Mouse must channel his inner superhero to face his fears.

“It Kind of Changed My Life”: The Story of Bone’s Time in Disney Adventures, From the People Who Made It Happen - SKTCHD While it might be difficult to imagine in 2025, a magazine was one of the biggest deals for kids back in the 1990s. Disney Adventures, a monthly, digest-sized publication, was loaded with everything t...

There’s a direct connection between @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social’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.

Today's random Pogo paperback. The very first one, from 1951.

Got him a few days ago, but Hank is finally safe with friends!

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.
