Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

Deeply disappointing, PPS. There may not be a better city in the US to find coaching and support for creative teens. Encouraging the plagiarism machine as a replacement is NOT the way.

PORTLAND: The first Friday of the month is July 4th, but we're still going to be doing First Friday Office Hours outdoors at Books With Pictures @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social 4-6 PM, 1401 SE Division. Free professional feedback on your comics pages. Detail below: bsky.app/profile/stev...

You show me 6-8 pages of comics storytelling. I'll give you feedback based on my 30 years in comics. What works, what doesn't, how to tweak a panel for clarity or impact, tips for saving labor- the sort of advice your teacher at a comics class might offer.

Black and white image of Iranian author Marjane Satrapi, smoking a cigarette. "The world is not divided between east and west. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

BwP Con at @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social‬ was a blast!

The Battle with Pictures MCed by ‪@breenabard.bsky.social‬ was harrowing, but we prevailed, and the KidLit panel with @oneofthejohns.bsky.social & Robin Robinson was a blast.

Sold a lot of books, saw a lot of friends, and ate a lot of good food. 😺
