One of my favorites. Kitaro as a bishonen lowkey

Plastic Miss Piggy from Muppet Babies piggy bank, from 1989

Very pleased to return home with the familial Miss Piggy from Muppet Babies piggy bank

I tell young comics folks about this all the time … the old lore…..

Remembering the one Mocca Fest where they had the Big Charlie Brown floating overhead inside the Armory.

He slowly deflated over the course of the day and had his foot propped up with a chair until they could top him off..

Miss me with those expression sheets, this ain’t a team project and every minute spent not working on pages is a minute wasted!!!!

The thrill, the sheer exhilaration of realizing you forgot how to draw a character because this is writer-illustrator COMICS, baby, and we don’t got TIME for no character turnaround sheets

Look what they've done to my boy T_T

♥️♥️ y’all are the best

A simple drawing of a man wearing a medal and the words "you with the medal you won for noticing a tangent I drew." There are tangents all over the drawing. It's filthy with them.

The internet just showed me this response drawing that I posted five years ago. Feel free to use it if you have a need.

Listing of YOU AND ME ON REPEAT from the best of 2025 NYPL Teen List

YOU AND ME ON REPEAT is on the NYPL 2025 Best Books for Teens list 😭 the publishing production grunt who hoofed it regularly from PRH’s offices on her lunch break to the 10th Avenue Columbus branch ten years ago could hardly conceive 😭😭😭

I've been trying to get my version of the Bechdel Test to catch on called the Ballard Metric. It basically asks if the creator was able to work for free or for slave wages due to an invisible financial safety net and recontextualizes the work. (I'm kinda joking idk)

Lowkey feel like all creators need to disclose these things before they ever give any younger creators advice

Every so often I think about how mother seals leave their pups to fend for themselves after only six weeks and I have to sit down

writing is a way to process, synthesize, and discover your own thoughts and feelings. Ai cannot help you — it just means you are outsourcing your own experience and meaning-making of life to a machine

Excuse me, you want me to flatten my pug's tail?? The appendage on my dog that most acutely expresses his joy???

Niche rant: when dog clothes designed for Frenchies are also advertised for pugs, BUT ALLOW NO ROOM FOR A TAIL THAT STANDS UPRIGHT

🙋🏻‍♀️

This goes SO hard!! Who’s the artist??

Was Mission Hill called "The Downtowners" for a minute??

Not to say that it doesn’t have ANY stylistic resemblance. But I think it’s pretty normal to have a style similar to a series that VERY CLEARLY influenced you 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve heard criticism that it’s ripping off Invader Zim stylistically, but personally their two styles look pretty different to me. Haven’t watched it personally but I don’t understand that particular critique

I haven't heard a single news report about the government shutdown and employees being furloughed that mentioned that members of Congress still get paid, and it seems like that should be mentioned every single time a reporter mentions federal employees working without pay or not being able to work.
