For what it's worth Jacob Lawrence was a huge fan of libraries and made many images of them over the years. I love his 1979 screenprint "The Library" for featuring a library worker in the foreground, pushing a cart full of books

You all can now purchase (or borrow from your local library because academic texts are expensive and libraries are essential to communities) The Oxford Handbook of Black Horror Film! This book is packed and covers a wide range of horror films all over the globe.

Please please please just make your fucking comic. It doesn't have to have mass appeal or be marketable. I'm literally making a comic about gay aztec steampunks. A publisher would laugh me out the door. I still have a budding audience!! And even then! If it brings you joy, make the fucking comic!

Being trans is a joy and a gift! Some folks are trying to take away that joy! We will not let them! We will become even more trans and more joyful as time goes on!

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says โ€œdonโ€™t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A tilted selfie photo of two cartoonists, one behind a display of comics and the other's big ass face in the foreground. Behind them are the red curtains from that creepy dream room in Twin Peaks.

That's @craighm.bsky.social in the drawing because I forgot to get a selfie with him and Jim Rugg at the Summit County Comic Con in Akron this past Sunday. I probably should have drawn a little cartoon of us too!

The waves are crashing against their pathetic raft one of the men fall out of the boat. We see his hands sinking below the waves.

One of the men who did not fall off the boat screams, trying to save the one who did but it's too late
