🐸 Super cute #kidlitartpostcard by Mike Petrik 📖

For my final (written) piece from ComicsPRO, I talked to folks like @jazzlynstone.bsky.social, @patrickhorvath.bsky.social, @filipsablik.bsky.social, @capecowlcomics.bsky.social, and more about what's making them the most hopeful about this moment in comics. The results were...honestly quite lovely!

Since it's Jaws' birthday today, maybe we could be so cheeky as to ask for one little gift: to check out "The Art of Comics" podcast. Or if you already have and enjoy it, share this post here or with a friend or both! We would love for more people to find out little show <3 Thank you 🎊

Directors Max Taylor and Tim McCourt at The Line layered blended traditional animation techniques with modern tools to create the film's throwback aesthetic. The video's lush backgrounds were painted by hand before scanned, split into layers, and digitally touched up.

Thank you I’m so glad it reads 😭😭

Eliza waits and waits for the return of her father, or at least his body. But as the years go by and no sign of the infamous and recognizable Cochran turns up, the hope turns to obsession, and eventually... to action. But as the number of casualties from the maintenance and infiltration of the Sleeping Wizards' Shrine build in number, can she find the truth on her own, let alone just get inside? Sleeping Wizards is heading toward 50% with over 400 backers! We'd love to have you add to this army! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ironspike/sleeping-wizards?ref=1sztuj

After her father disappeared in the line of duty clearing the Sleeping Wizards' shrine of monsters, Eliza has waited,

and waited,

and waited for her turn.

But with the dangers within, one must be chosen in order to enter.

Or just be good at breaking in🔦🪜

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I’m so glad I’m spending today driving and hanging with my best friend bc I cannot be staring at the hellscape all day

blue graphic with an outline of the United States. Red and white text reads: Call. National Book Banning Bill Proposed in US House of Reps. Tell your rep: Vote no on H.R. 7661.

We've had a day to pull a few things together, so here's a thread some more targeted info opposing the potential national book ban just proposed in the House of Representatives.

Book Bans ‘Kill Creativity,’ Sow Self-Doubt in Authors For the past few years, author Charlotte Sullivan Wild has been working on a picture book about an LGBTQ+ family who learns to cope with one member’s deployment to the military. The story is inspired…

As hard as we are fighting, book bans are having an impact on the books being written and published. To put this another way, a very small number of well-funded people who don't write books, don't teach books, don't work in libraries are trying to decide what books are available for everyone else

Quote Reposting too because this is SO important. We need to pay attention. CALL YOUR REPS!

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!
