My friends! You could own a piece of art from one of the best books of 2025! Cannon by @_leelai was adored by critics and civilians alike. This is an important book. Don't miss out on these beautiful pages.

I love seeing a wide spectrum of comics being represented like this because it's a community made up of so many different people, backgrounds, styles, focuses, and more, but ALL COMICS.

Read More Comics!
Make More Comics!
Be More Comics!

MoCCA is Dan's hometown indie show and I'm so pleased that we can help share his name and support artists. I miss you Dan. I hope that you knew how much you were loved in comics.

Dan had much closer friends, but I cherish our many comics chats and his perpetual support of Athenaeum. His last message to me was telling me that he was going into hospice AND to check up on a commission.

As many of you know, Dan was diagnosed with cancer and passed away about a year later. Dan was a huge champion of both mainstream and Indie comic art. I don't know if folks in the indie scene truly understand how much he did behind the scenes to bring significant attention to our world.

We are going to do something special in honor the legacy of Dan T at @soi128's MoCCA next month. Dan was a huge supporter of indie comics and we want to celebrate his contribution to our community at his hometown show. More to come and there will be ways that folks can contribute.

The original ink drawing of a cartoon by Tom Gauld

Panel 1.
A graveyard: the gravedigger sits on a pile of earth. Hamlet stands before him, holding a skull. 
Hamlet: β€œAlas, poor  yorick! I knew him, professor Horatio.” 
He tis looking at a lab-coated figure.
Prof. Horatio: β€œActually, my analysis suggests this skull belonged to a young woman from the late Neolithic era.”

Panel 2.
Leaving the graveyard
Hamlet: β€œPrithee, Horatio, tell me one thing.”
Prof. Horatio: β€œWhat’s that, my lord?”
Hamlet (angrily): β€œDost thou have to spoil everything.”

The original ink drawing of a cartoon by Tom Gauld

A large Regency house. Two sisters named Emilia and Charlotte talk on an upper floor.
"Mister Blackwell has come to call again." says Emilia as she looks out of the window "Oh, how I despise his uncouth manners and electric bicycle!"

Charlotte says "Sister, you will end up a spinster if you insist on a historically accurate suitor." 
and continues "The romance novel has changed, Emilia, and so must we."

Emilia replies "Easy for you to say. You are engaged to the richest werewolf in the county!"

They are walking through the house.

Charlotte says "Look at Cousin Lucy: She is quite plain, yet made a most advantageous match with the dragon queen of nalthrax."

"True." says Emilia opening the door.

The tall, solid figure of Mister Blackwell stands at the door wearing a top hat and tailcoat:
"Ladies, I triumphed In my ice hockey match and won ten thousand a year in sponsorship! Miss Emilia, will you be my bride?" he is holding a hockey stick.

Emilia swoons into Charlotte's arms.

Panel One: A sportscaster speaks to a television camera
"You join us just in time for the annual booksellers versus librarians tug of war."

Panel Two: We see the participants warming up as he continues...
"Two very strong teams this year, they’ve both been in training since February. As always, the real skill in this match is not to start chatting about boo-"

Panel Three: 
"Too late!! 
A pair of librarians are discussing the new Margaret Atwood! 
A crowd is forming! 
The booksellers are joining in! 
It's all over!!"
We see all the participants chatting.

Panel Four: The sportscaster finishes up to the camera:
"The rope lies untouched! 
The discussions continue! 
We have a draw for 325th year in a row! 
Join us again next year!"

End.
