The Million Year Picnic comic shop

So bummed I missed meeting the crazy talented Nick Sousanis! He's doing some events that are free & open to the public if you scroll up his thread! -kjc

I’m here for talks and a workshop at Lesley University tomorrow (10/23) which are both free and open to the public! My first time traveling in the US to do this sort of thing since February 2020… web.cvent.com/event/e9368c...

At November's Picture + Panel, @tanaford.bsky.social and @colleenaf.bsky.social talk about cats! Join us on 11/3 at 7pm for their discussion!

Howdy Bluesky! What a difference a week makes! Bright and sunny and warm over here at the Picnic. I was wrong about HOTC last weekend, but I'm not today! Team multi-modal and micro-mobility is the best way to come visit us with Mem Drive and some of the Square shut down to car traffic. Peace

Lovely painted western scene with a horserider approaching

Howdy Bluesky! Our weekly newsletter is ready to go for New Comic Book Day! Come through and see us tomorrow :-) Here's the link: groups.google.com/u/1/g/millio...

Howdy Bluesky! What's good? We've got Honk! Fest and Head of the Charles today, so public transit, micro-mobility, and personal perambulation are the best ways to come see us today.

Front window of the Million Year Picnic comic shop, with two rows of comics on display.

Four books: The Adventurous Decade, Cuphead volume 1, Flash Gordon Classic Collection volume 2, and the collected Extra!

Yesterday I spent time at one of my favorite places, talking to owner/all-around wonderful person Tony Davis. Even after a decade away, I still think of it as a third place. Grateful for independent bookshops and the people who make them what they are. See you soon, @myp-comics.bsky.social.

Howdy Bluesky! The sunshine is peekin' through the clouds outside the Picnic. Hoping y'all find ways to enjoy the sunshine and the moonlight today.

Digital painting of a merfolk-monster mutant. The merman is mostly humanoid; with human legs and barely any aquatic features, but on the nape of his neck is a fleshy appendage, that tethers him to the spine of a giant, mutated anglerfish, as if he's the lure and bait instead of a faintly glowing appendage. The merfolk is floating above the large and open jaws of the anglerfish.

While I am OVERJOYED at the level of enthusiasm for FREE PLANET vol 1 this far ahead of its release, I would much prefer that you order it from your local comic shop or independent bookstore.

All the usual reasons PLUS: Doing so indicates existing enthusiasm and the need to stock up!
