Doodling Secret Messages for Teens! Doodling Secret Messages is a heartwarming workshop where tiny drawings carry big meaning.

This won't happen until February 2026, but I'm excited about a new library workshop at the Reading Public Library in MA. readingpl.libnet.info/event/15059259

A four panel comic: Panel 1. Whit Taylor runs to Neil Brideau with a stack of drawings, Neil is eating a sandwich. Whit says "Here it is, Neil! The sixth and final issue of Fizzle!" To which Neil says "Oh Wow!" Panel 2. Flipping through the drawings, Neil says "These pages look great, Whit! I can't wait to read and publish it! What an accomplishment!" "Thanks!" Whit Replies. Panel 3. Whit continues, "It's wild to think after ten years, I'm finally done with the series!" "Congratulations!" Neil exclaims. Panel 4. Whit thinks out loud, "I'm going to try to get issue seven done by the spring." To which Neil flops over stunned!
