Thank you, Arizona librarians! I'm beyond grateful that so many readers will discover HISTORY SMASHERS: PEARL HARBOR as a 2024 Grand Canyon Reader Award nominee! (Illus. by @dmeconis & published by @randomhousekids!)
Hello it is gonna be hot as heck today in Portland. A nice thing you can do for wildlife is to put out some water stations and top them up with fresh water or ice cubes whenever you can! Just a cup on a windowsill with a twig stuck in it is a lil bee spa (the twig is stairs)
A missing detail in this @Oregonian piece is that Michael Menashe is (so far as I can tell) brother to Barry Menashe, whose company owns the blighted fentanyl mall on 5th and Washington and ignored it for months to play cleanup chicken with the city.

A thing which would be great and useful in the comics publishing industry: release of an comprehensive style manual for comics text. A lot of common and useful conventions for word balloon lettering, sound effects, and narration get redlined by copy editors trained on the CMoS.
Portland! Iâll be tabling at BwPCon this Saturday â Iâll have lots of books, linocut prints, patches, and a big batch of secret prints from years past that havenât been for sale anywhere else in years!

Iâm currently writing the sequel to Queen of the Sea and the tension between âwrite the next plot event!â and âthree page break to tell the story of how Saint Brendan visited an island that turned out to be a sea monsterâ is fierce
Look at how great this is. How do you expect Margaret or me to pass this up.

Portland Street Response is the most efficient, innovative, trust-building workforce in city government. They save taxpayer dollars and *checks notes* human lives. Any sane civic leadership would dine out on it for life. But @tedwheeler and the city council canât wait to bury it.
I see you all posting your âwhat itâs like to date me in four pics I already have on my phoneâ memes which is very cute, but what I really want to see is one of you brave enough to solicit a take from an ex
Hey Portland pals!!! Yall can grab signed copies of Seance Tea Party and My Aunt is a Monster at @Powells Downtown PDX. All signatures have cute little doodles as usual âď¸â¤ď¸
Happy Fathers Day to all the lovely transmasc dads out there! (Those of you coasting on âdaddy vibesâ please wait til the sleep-deprived dudes with mashed banana in their hair and lego-based foot injuries have been through the line at least once)
I didnât mean to subtweet @NotLasers and @lasertheboy but maybe thatâs just what happens when you hold down both ends of the dad/dad-energy AND laser/not laser spectra
