Does anyone have any keychain plush manufacturer recommendations? 👀 It's something me and Stef are currently looking into, but if there's someone you've worked with and had a good experience with we'd love to reach out to them!

A comic in black/white/blue.
Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence.
Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence.
Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?"
Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!"
Lucy: "Have a good one!"
Crew member: "You, too!"

A comic in black/white/blue. Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence. Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence. Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?" Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!" Lucy: "Have a good one!" Crew member: "You, too!"

Narration: I was teaching when my phone started lighting up with alerts from the rapid response network and neighbor chat.
Lucy's back is to us as she shows a group of enthusiastic children something on a notebook. Behind her, her phone in her bag is buzzing.

Narration: By the time the lesson was over, they were already gone.
Lucy is reading messages on her phone.
Messages: 
Alert: black SUV
Sighting: be on alert for...
Confirmed abductionL alley between ----- and ----. SUV plates...
We tried to get them inside, but it was too...
...Contacting an I.R. lawyer. Heading to Broadview later today.

Lucy is riding her bike home.
Narration: On the ride home, I kept thinking "If I'd been there, could I have warned them? Would my ICIRR* training have helped?"
*Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Get trained and know your rights at ICIRR.org.

Narration: I'd taken the training after Halloween, when the violent ICE raids had locked down our schools and driven our neighbors indoors.

(Image of a halloween bucket in the shape of a jack-o-lantern)

Narration: Halloween is fun here-- The community filling the streets and opening our doors to one another. But this year's was tense, frightened and subdued. Haunted.

Lucy is standing in the alley, staring at the newly built fence.
Narration: When I got home, it was all done. The other two guys who had gotten inside in time stayed and finished the build.

The new fence is superimposed with the brief exchange from earlier in the comic ("Have a good one" You, too")
Narration: I see it every day and think about how those guys built this in the spot where strangers in masks took their friend.

Narration: How many other places in our communities are similarly haunted?
(Drawings of sidewalks, buildings, streets and windows)

(Cloud Puppy 2)
Kelly Leigh Miller
Atheneum Books for Young Readers
Publication date : March 4, 2025

With expressive illustrations, playful humor and emotional lessons, this graphic novel shows young readers that there’s no “right” way to have fun and that trying to understand each other matters way more than winning an argument.

Panel 1: NPC says “Sorry, I didn’t catch your name?” 
Standing next to Lumine, Wanderer says “Oh, I’m-“

Panel 2: Wanderer pauses mid sentence to remember when he was named. He looks embarrassed. In the flashback, Lumine exclaims “Scaranara!” As his new name. She also says “Scara, like Scaramouche, and aranara, like this guy! See? He has a hat too!” She holds up a little forest creature called an aranara. Wanderer just says “I regret this already…”

Panel 3: Not wanting to make eye contact with Lumine, Wanderer responds with “…Hat Guy.” (His nickname from a different region.) Lumine looks at him aghast and says “Are you kidding me?” The NPC just stares confused at them.

I recently got back into Genshin Impact after taking a year off and I’m loving the new Nod Krai region!

I’ve also been learning Clip Studio in my spare time so this was created in that. So far, the program is pretty fun to use!

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

Panel 3: same as panel 2 but Dan Hang transforms into his new form. 
Dan Heng: “Okay.” 

Panel 4: March 7th points at the box they can’t reach. 
March 7th: “We can’t reach it and Mr. yang isn’t here to grab it for us.”
Trailblazer/Stelle: “I’m banned from climbing the shelves after what happened last time.”

Panel 5: Dan Heng looks up at the box in disbelief since he thought something bad had actually happened. 

Panel 6: same shot as panel 4 but Dan Heng reaches up to grab the box.
Dan Heng: “I don’t think this constitutes an emergency…”
Trailblazer/Stelle: YAAAAY!! You got it!”
