Then I searched up Earthsong just for the lulz, & it showed that it had actually received a solitary vote this month, which warmed my shrivelled, eldritch heart. Thank you, random person who upvoted a comic that finished 10 years ago! You made my day.

On an absolute whim, I pulled up topwebcomics for the first time in years and was surprised to see the top 10 hasn't changed too much since I was last active there.

Everyone and their mom has had a comment about this now but I guess I feel the need to chime in: I think a lot of the comments are really misunderstanding that this is not a “fanart bad” post, this is “it sucks to go to an indie comics show and see multiple tables without a single comic” post

Just threw my lower back out putting away a box of Earthsong comics 😩 I *guess* I'm happy it happened now instead of at the beginning of the convention? But still, ow.

PS if you do somehow wind up seeing this, you are welcome to come back and exchange it for a fresh copy that hasn't been handled by 100s of people!

Crystal Yates @glassgates.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Dear lovely person who accidentally bought the display copy of A Dance With Death while I was away from the table, my apologies that your copy has the last two pages taped together (which I do to avoid spoiling the reveal) 😅

the lessons we need to take are clear. Dolly said "find out who you are and do it on purpose", and Tim Curry's line is "don't dream it, be it" they would both be disappointed if we wrote that off as corny. so what? it's necessary. we have everything to lose if we are dishonest to ourselves.

RIP legend. You were amazing in everything you did, but my favourite is always going to be Clue (closely followed by Muppet Treasure Island). Between you and Dolly, the world's a little dimmer this week.

It genuinely is! I swear it gets darker every time I look out the window, and I do not care for this experience. 0 stars, would not recommend

Re: last repost - it is literally dark outside right now. At 11am. In July. This is way less fun than an eclipse, lemme tell you. Stay inside if you can, Ontarians. And my sincerest condolences if you don't have AC

Good morning,Ontario, the sky looks like armageddon and the air smells like a campfire where you were burning something you really shouldn’t. Be careful out there. 😷

Currently pining for those golden days of yore when my sinuses were clear. One never appreciates the simple ability to breathe through one's nose when they have it. *plays "Paved Paradise" on repeat*

No worries! Cons are wild and amazing but exhausting. Here's to meeting up again before we qualify for a senior's discount! 😉🤞

Crystal Yates @glassgates.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Also, had a great time sharing a table with the uber-talented fellow cryptid enthusiast @monicacomics.bsky.social - you should definitely go check out her comics and zines!

Crystal Yates @glassgates.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Hey! I know we only got to catch up for a few mins, but it was truly a delight to see you again after so long. I hope your trip home is/was as painless as possible and that our paths cross again without another 1.5 decades in between!

TCAF was an absolute blast and I met so many awesome people and sold so many comics and I am also SO glad to be at home in my pyjamas now. Worth it, but phew! Many thanks to all the volunteers and staff who make this amazing festival happen! Y'all are rockstars

Crystal Yates @glassgates.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

It was so great to meet you! Thank you again for all your support - you made my day 😁

Hey Toronto! I'm at TCAF all this weekend! You can find me at 220B on the 3rd floor of the Mattamy Centre!

Crystal Yates @glassgates.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Just found out I got into Hal-con! Super excited to inflict my eldritch wares upon the east coast once more!

Lol, awesome! I look forward to seeing you 😁

I'm looking forward to catching up! It's been a minute, lol

Crystal Yates @glassgates.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

My Table number for TCAF is SO CLOSE to Sherlock Holmes' address that it's painful. You can find me at 220B in the Hockey Arena on the 3rd floor of the Mattamy Athletic Centre next weekend!

Heck yes, I got into the Pin and Patch Show! ( www.instagram.com/pinandpatchs... ) I love doing a new show and getting to show all my dorky cryptid/monster/pun pins to new people :D

Crystal Yates @glassgates.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

I thought I had escaped Calgary without getting my annual nosebleed - it is SO dry there usually, but it was snowy/damp this time so I was hopeful - but alas, I awoke after my red eye flight home having lost the blood vessel battle. Calgary was great tho! Lovely to see everyone who stopped by!

TCAF is always a blast, so I can imagine VanCAF is too 😁

Maybe I'll give it a shot next year then 😊

Hey! I'm going to be at the Calgary Expo this Thurs-Sun! Booth A410 in the Artist Alley. Come by and say hi if you're there!

Crystal Yates @glassgates.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

I keep applying to Vancouver FanExpo but I haven't been able to get in (they let their artists rebook, so you have to hope someone drops out in order to get in essentially). And I do love a good 'CAF show, but I don't know if I could make my flight & hotel back on comics alone! Maybe one day tho!

Crystal Yates @glassgates.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

I'll be at the Calgary Comic Con this weekend! I've got a bunch of new sticker sheets and prints that'll be available. These cuties are part of my Candy Creatures sticker sheet - you can see the rest of them on Instagram ^_^

Crystal Yates @glassgates.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

I should put some random new thing up on there as a treat for anyone wandering around the ghost town that is my comic websites 😅

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.
