Why do comics pros like @jamesthefourth.bsky.social at Tiny Onion make such an effort to be at library conferences? Harley says it’s because they know #comics and #libraries belong together. 📚 Another Comics Librarian Podcast drops Thursday

Quote: "Even Stevie Wonder can see that Smith has been canoodling with separatism as a double agent for American interests in the province under the guise of diplomacy." With an excellent explainer on "white woman tears". (As a visible & vocal Black woman I've witnessed so many white lady tears.) ✊🏾

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

My, um, VERY progressive (to put it lightly) church is currently playing a Kanye West song, and...I sure hope the sermon, like, explains why.

Oh, we do not like this. No, we sure don’t. We don’t reify this arbitrary and snooty distinction. Especially since so many so-called “graphic novels” are published as comic books first. Graphic novels and comic books are both comics. 📚

I went to Guelph today for Comics Jam and found @ootslibrary.bsky.social which is a cute little library that uses @librarycat.org as its ILS! Kind of awesome that in Ontario you can just start a nonprofit and open a library, I don’t think that’s allowed in Ohio 📚

My most controversial opinion is I want more same-sex and opposite-sex friendships celebrated in comics and pop culture. Keep the shipping in fanfic. Platonic friendships are worth writing about too.
