Thrilled to have a short comic about my pen-pal days published in @pencilmagazine.bsky.social #3: The Letter Writing Issue. I also put a call for new correspondents in @slipsslips.bsky.social #2, as it turns out I greatly miss writing letters. If it sounds interesting, why not drop me a line?

A primer on our publication, precisely pitched to the tenor of our times. Because nothing resonates these days like faux-primitif gestures toward early 20th-century typographic experiments!
