There are a lot of people reading my feature on Bone's time in Disney Adventures today, and if you like what you read, consider this your reminder that SKTCHD is entirely funded by subscribers. So, maybe consider subscribing to read more like it and to support the work that goes into it!

I was digging through some old things when I came across this American Vampire poster. @ssnyder1835.bsky.social sent it to me after I reviewed American Vampire #1, and signed/personalized it when he did. I always thought that was so nice, and it’s how he’s always been, which I really appreciate.

It was a big year on @sktchd.bsky.social, as my subscription comic site has grown dramatically since I went full-time. Also, I genuinely believe I put out some of my best + most varied work.
To highlight that, I wanted to share some of my favorite articles from the year as a showcase of that work.

There's a thread on the ComicBooks Subreddit where someone asked single-issue comic readers why they stick with single issues, and the top response is amazing.
"Wednesday is the Christmas of every week."
Perfect answer. No notes.
