11th hour posting about comic con- but if you’re still here -but get signed copies of Tenements and Impossible People at Hachette Books table 1118!!

It’s creek season! I need some advice. (But first a comic from 2018 that my brother still razzes me about but I think is completely acceptable) I’m looking for water shoes w/ tread, durability & can be worn for light hiking and rock and tree scramblin’

Happy we have been an early witness to such greatness. Also happy my ancient car got us there in one piece.

(More new comics this week on Patreon)

Napa library tomorrow! Panel from 10-11 and tabling 11-1!

One of my favorite then/now from Tenements, Towers & Trash because not much has really changed? The 1910 one has broadway show posters, coke ads, clothing shops and food in the storefronts. 2015 is basically the same (conceptually) except no food shops, and everything is uglier

some midtown nyc pics from last week

Photo thread: Some pics I took around Chinatown last week. I mostly take photos of buildings/storefronts/signs to compare them old pics and I used to get annoyed when people were in the way, but now I like it. But I’m not gonna start drawing people into my illustrations bc I hate drawing people
