Hmm, folks are hearing from TCAF it seems. Both acceptances and waitlists. I've heard nothing, so maybe I'm getting a rejection tomorrow? Who knows?

Hi @chrisarrant.bsky.social, I just emailed you about my Eisner-nominated autobiographical comic So Buttons, but I wasn’t sure if I had the right address. Wanted to make sure it reached you. Thanks so much, Jonathan

Page one of “So… Fugazi.” Art by @jtyost.bsky.social I ended up in a green room with Ian MacKaye of Fugazi because my wife (@ophirae.bsky.social) hosted an NPR show. That sentence still feels fake.

Happy Birthday to Us, Edition 4 — “So… Never Mind the Baylis.” I didn’t even really grow up on the Pistols — I was more of an 80s kid: PIL + New Order era. Johnny Rotten as punk history and modern disappointment in one page. 💥 Words by me. Art by @joshbayercomics.bsky.social

@seanfennessey.bsky.social Hey man, trying to find this channel on my Samsung TV Plus. I updated my Samsung this morning, but couldn't find the channel? Has it premiered yet? Does it have a channel number or is it more like an app?

Walking through SPX with comix legend Jay Lynch, I asked: Why did Bazooka Joe wear an eyepatch? His answer was classic. Rick Parker nailed the punchline. Catch me at SPX Sept 13–14! #SoButtons #SPX2025

Page 4 (the end): First con ever. College kid geeking out with Byrne, Miller, Mignola & Gibbons… and somehow convincing Topps I was employable. Comics + bubblegum cards = destiny with a stick of gum.

Jonathan Baylis @sobuttonscomics.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

First comics con. Still in college. One day I’m meeting Byrne, Miller, Gibbons… the next I’m talking with the Topps crew. Those conversations? They’d lead to my first real job in the industry. #SoButtons #Topps #ComicsHistory
