I'm honored that you would save it. I'm sorry for your loss-- hopefully everything is replaceable!

Thank you, David. You are a true pal.

Seriously, @zandercannon.bsky.social really is the best. That guy makes amazing comics.

Gotta love a cartoonist who can do both. Exceptional finale, @zandercannon.bsky.social, and not just for the reason I already told you.

You should really read Sleep, which was easily one of the best comics of the past year.

I would normally save my favorite comics to read last but I might have to read this one FIRST.

Or... maybe... reread the entire series to get a fresh perspective. I did it a lot with Kaijumax...

TODAY! "March fourth" to Hot Comics in Richfield (MN) and get a copy of the final issue of SLEEP! There will be a bunch of other comics, prints, and sketches, too. 3-6 pm (though I'll probably stick around a little later)

Don't Sleep on Sleep #8, a fantastic finale to a killer series from @zandercannon.bsky.social. It caused me to go back and re-read the entire series!

Heck yeah-- Sleep #8 gets a shout out in The Beat's Top Comics To Buy for this week!

I was amazed that both of those characters were very much still in my hand's muscle memory.

Which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if they weren't so expensive/hard to get! When ours broke, I went to get a replacement and it was almost $200.

Incredibly, I did a sketch of one of them just a couple months ago!

Agreed. The subreddit r/buyitforlife has basically thrown up their hands and given up on refrigerators.

Finally had to replace a 10-ish-year-old Samsung refrigerator not because it failed, but because all of the little non-essential pieces that broke were impossible to find replacements for. The death of a thousand jury-rigged repairs.

I get maybe an email or two a week from Γ‰rico asking me to clarify a scene, and the number of (stupid, juvenile) Kaiju jokes and (incomprehensibly obscure) American TV references that take paragraph upon paragraph to untangle constantly astound me.

I RARELY double-buy a book just to get a second artist cover.
But I will in this case.

When fascists take rights away from a group of people, they never stop there. Eventually, they come for everything. Invalidating the drivers licenses of trans people in Kansas is just the start. Who will be next?

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.
