Big Fizzle Announcement! Fizzle No. 6 by @whittaylor.bsky.social is at the printer, and the series is being extended to a SEVENTH issue! Read all about it at www.radiatorcomics.com/2025/10/26/f...

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!

Comic cover for Fizzle Number 6. A purple ice pop with a woman's smiling face on it sits on a white background.

It's Banned Books Week! It's time for the MA legislature to pass a Freedom to Read bill that protects librarians + educators from harassment; and protects authors, creators, booksellers, + publishers from economic harm due to censorship. I support An Act Regarding Free Expression (H.3594/S.2328).
