Sometimes you feel like just a fart blowing in the wind and sometimes a parent tells you how much your little book mean to their kid and everything is like ✨

These are some of my favorite pages from Other Boys cause they show how a simple act of kindness and acceptance can positively impact a kid 🌈✨ (enough that they illustrate it in a book over 20 years later) damianimated.com/otherboys

MICE is a really great indie comic expo in Boston if you're in the area!!! It's one of the things I miss the most since moving to the west coast lolol

Feast your eyes on our GORGEOUS festival poster by MICE Special Guest @SaraAlfageeh! We're over the moon with how it came out and can't wait to see them all over Boston!
If you're local and want to volunteer for the street team to help us hang them up, give us a shout!

Imagine if the Supreme Court cared as much about actual living children being shot in the face in their classrooms. Imagine if they voted on making things here better instead of worse :)

I'm tired of parents who think something shouldn't exist or be banned so that their kid doesn't see it. You could just... be a better parent and monitor what you do and don't want your child to see? Other people shouldn't be denied something just because you're bad at parenting.

Everyone saying Ryan Gosling looks too old never saw Ken in the 80s when he looked 45

I'm so honored Tom commissioned me to make this comic for Kirkus' Pride issue!!🏳️🌈You can check it out here ⬇️

I ❤️ comics, so I got a kick out of commissioning one from @DamiAnimated for the @KirkusReviews Pride Issue. He was a delight to work with, and the finished comic is fabulous—and super relevant.

I hadn't received a homophobic comment in a while but I just got bombarded with them on my Instagram reel and I deleted them cause like, that's super boring. Anyway, this is the stuff the queers deal with all the time and it's exhausting. 🤪

A reminder that Pride belongs in libraries and should never be hidden

I wish being gay wasn't "political" and I could just live. 🥰

Omg I love seeing it on display with a library sticker 😭

Other Boys by @DamiAnimated is such a lovely graphic novel, this is the second time I'm posting about it since I read it almost a year ago. 💜 Perfect for middle grade kids, and parents, and LGBTQIA adults who survived growing up. CW: violent loss of parent, jerk peers
