I’m actually stoked for a dc cartoon? What is up with the world these days

I just mailed the same books to Paris and Chicago and it was 2 dollars cheaper to mail something to France than America

Book cover for It Looks Like Dad by J. Krawczyk (Little Ghosts‬), with a spider with eyes all over its body. When social worker Kaitlin Chambers is called to pick up her husband at the local police station, she is shocked to find a lanky, scarred doppelgänger waiting for her. The man who resembles her husband insists on transporting her and her daughter Camilla to their northern cabin, away from dangerous strangers and Lovecraftian creatures the likes of which she cannot imagine. With the world ending around them, can she put her trust in this man whose terrifying truth is only equaled by the horror his body has become? https://www.littleghostsbooks.com/product/it-looks-like-dad/992

Book cover for the play Open House by Drew Hayden Taylor (Talonbooks), with a paper house sinking into a fire made of paper human hands. Hoping to snag their perfect home in a red-hot housing market, an African Canadian man, a Chinese Canadian man, and a Jewish/Indigenous lesbian couple show up to an open house run by a white settler real estate agent. Each potential buyer feels most deserving of the prize. When a police incident outside traps them together in the house, debate erupts over which of their cultures has faced the most discrimination and exclusion. Passions run high and opinions clash. With wry humour, Open House deftly navigates current conversations about oppression, colonization, and middle-class aspirations. https://talonbooks.com/books/open-house

Book cover for The Saltbox Olive by Angela Antle ‬ (Breakwater Books‬), with a collage of a house forming a woman's hair. When Caroline Fisher studied art in Florence in the mid-1990s, trying unsuccessfully to finagle a way to live there for the rest of her days, she was unaware of her family’s history in Italy—how her grandfather had travelled the same streets and railway lines she did, or how her great-uncle Arch... lay buried in an unmarked grave somewhere in those mountains. And how could she, when her grandfather burned his brother’s letters after returning home from the war? When an olive tree arrives at Caroline’s front door, family secrets begin to unravel, sending her back to Italy to find answers. https://breakwaterbooks.com/products/the-saltbox-olive

Book cover for we see stars only at night by Tahltan comic artist Cole Pauls ‬ (Conundrum Press). Lłēge zedle s̱on nes̱it’īn (Tahltan for we see stars only at night) is a surrealistic landscape of Tahltan shapes, culture and motifs. Originally created for the Nanaimo Art Gallery’s group show “Gutters are Elastic” between July 15 to September 23, 2023, Pauls decided to expand the work into a full length book. Playing with the connection between land, regalia, performance and heritage, Pauls follows in the footsteps of Tiger Tateishi, Hironori Kikuchi and Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas with his dreamlike narrative. https://conundrumpress.com/product/we-see-stars-only-at-night/

Spread from Cole Pauls’ comic—stark black and white with trees and beadwork plants.

Glad I got another chance to hear @tundrawizard.bsky.social speak the night before TCAF as part of a panel. Really love his work. This one is wordless, so I can just stare at the art forever.

Throw back to 2017 when I was 5 hours late for work to get this photo & trade a Taiga jacket for a Summit Ice jacket!

What does it mean to make comics in this political context?
