The comic book adaptation of "The Million Year Picnic" was the first book Jerry bought with his own money when he was a little boy.

The short story "The Million Year Picnic" by Ray Bradbury was originally set on Mars in October 2026. It's the final story of the collection THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES. (More recent editions have shifted the dates forward 30 years.) The original founder of the MYP, Jerry Weist, was a huge Bradbury fan.

A book with a red and black cover on a wooden chair. The cover reads, "75TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES
With an introduction by the author
RAY BRADBURY"
It shows a tiny figure in a stark red, white, and black mountainous landscape. There is a gold National Book Award seal.

FYI, from Toocheke. They added a Tapas migration feature.

A screenshot of an email that says

Import Your Tapas.io Comics Into WordPress
You may have seen the news about Tapas shutting down. If you or anyone you know publish there, you’re probably wondering what happens to all of your comics and years of work.

We’ve just added a new import feature to Toocheke Companion (available in version 2.23+) that can move an entire Tapas series into WordPress for you — including episodes, images, thumbnails, and original publish dates.

It keeps everything in order, so you don’t have to manually copy and paste hundreds of pages.

Hey Blueskies, just a heads up, we'll be closing early tonight (Saturday, 12 September 2026) at 6pm so the boss can attend the Jerry Weist Memorial Dinner. In case you don't know our deep lore, Jerry Weist named and founded the Million Year Picnic back in 1974 with Chuck Wooley. -kjc

Be amazing if I were to be offered a new lettering gig this week! Weeks and months of “we’ll keep you in mind” or, as is usually the case, my email enquiries to editors being completely ignored, is really beginning to destroy my self-confidence.
