5. The Horrors of Being a Human by Desmond Reed (70B)

@desmondreed.bsky.social

@massmice.bsky.social goodies so far! What a perfect week to get a cash bonus from my job…

Thank you so much!!!

The Cola Pop Creemees: Opening Act This book I got as part of Birdcage Bottom Books' 2023(!) Kickstarter campaign. The Cola Pop Creemees: Opening Act is on its surface a fun...

Next up on my great comics-reading catch-up list: The Cola Pop Creemees: Opening Act by @desmondreed.bsky.social. It’s an extraordinary set of character portraits , where fictional band members come across as real people. It’s a bittersweet, frequently funny book that can make you cringe and cry.

Cover Art by Desmond Reed for THE HORRORS OF BEING A HUMAN - A Cola Pop Creemees Comic, featuring the members of the fictional band

The latest Cola Pop Creemees book from @desmondreed.bsky.social, THE HORRORS OF BEING A HUMAN is available from @microcosm.bsky.social. The title says it all but if you need more reasons to become a groupie for this fictional band, here's a link to my interview w/Desmond: comicon.com/2025/06/03/t...

Thank you so much!!!

NOTEBOOKS (Part 31)

Over the course of my time as a residential scholar at MIT, I kept a series of notebooks where I freehanded improvised comics, eventually creating one long story. I never showed anyone these notebooks… until now.
