Comic book cover featuring light blue and gold highlights, along with a black line, silkscreen printed onto purple cardstock. Design evokes both seventies psychedelic poster design and "classic" cartooning, underground comix and Fort Thunder approaches

Really loved @cccilla.bsky.social's That Away Comix (available via @dominocomics.bsky.social): Beautiful silkscreened covers, guts that apply the weedhead record collector mentality many are familiar with to a collective consciousness of appropriated comic characters (whose cameos I won't spoil)

Sorry about that! I have had issues with Storenvy shipping calculations, thanks for letting me know about this one (they also add a "handling" fee that goes right to them). I may have fixed it; you can try again, or just email me if you want to transact off the platform

It’s great to read them at that size! There are lots of photos and other comics/drawings context in the substantial bio-book portion, I say it’s worth it!

A drawing of an anthropomorphic goat and sheep, the goat is saying β€œTHEY UNDERSTAND THAT THE FORCE OPPOSING HOPE IS DESPAIR. THE DESPAIR WE FEEL IS MANUFACTURED.
AND WHAT HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED CAN BE TAKEN APART.”

I’ve put a free printable PDF of the below image up on my website (from the comic β€˜Goat and Sheep by the Well’). Print it out and staple it to a telephone pole, tape it up on your wall, etc. www.joshuawcotter.com/jwc-comics-a...

Here's my theory about America: Nobody in this country learns what they need for life, either from school, parents or anywhere else, so every important lesson is learned by undergoing traumatic events and making terrible mistakes that leave huge emotional scars.
