I deeply implore anyone who is voting in the Eisner Awards to vote for MAKING NONFICTION COMICS by @elerimai.bsky.social and @mirkdrop.bsky.social in the Comics Related Book category. This is brilliant and helpful and will stand the test of time alongside other texts about making comics.

Canberra friends! If you are keen to lay your hands on a FREE gorgeous, hilarious, fun and extremely educational mini comic, go vote at Old Parliament House on May 3rd. It's about Australia’s greatest contribution to the world, the secret ballot. Way better than WiFi or combine harvester IMO

The comic has lots of people in historic costume on the cover holding ballot slips behind a ballot box and says "From pub brawls to cardboard stalls: A short history of the Australian Ballot, a MoAD zine illustrated by Eleri Harris"

If you don’t show up, you are accepting injustice. I was so disappointed by the absence of my generation at the January 26 protests today. Where were you Canberra? Tell me you had something better to do than stand up for Indigenous Australians & protest this celebration. 2026 hope to see you there
