A great early Spy vs. Spy strip by Cuban cartoonist (and creator) Antonio Prohías. This strip leverages the grammar and form of comics to tell the story, which is a hallmark of the SVS comics. Really inventive, playful, imaginative cartooning.

Here’s a little comic strip featuring Hugo & Dino. Apologies to Bill Watterson!
If you’ve read the Super Magic Boy books, you’ll know Calvin & Hobbes was a major influence!

🧵 In 2025, book censorship in the United States is rampant and common. Never before in the life of any living American have so many books been systematically removed from school libraries across the country.

Just finished penciling my next book: RED PANDA & MOON BEAR 3!
Right now it’s at 221 pages. It took me about 3 months to pencil it all. I spent a month before this thumbnailing out the visual composition, so I could focus on design in pencils.

We had our first not-as-hot day in Florida, which, for some reason, always reminds me of my favorite Tom Spurgeon essay from The Comics Reporter, "All of These Things That Have Made Us."

This is the first step towards creating a one-party state. If it works in Texas, they’ll do it all over the country. Bye, democracy, it was a nice idea while it lasted.
NEW: The FBI has agreed to cooperate with Texas state law enforcement to locate the 50 Democratic legislators who left the state, Sen. John Cornyn said
FBI will help locate Texas Democrats who fled the state, Cornyn says
Texas GOP have been threatening the state legislators with "legal consequences" for breaking the quorum.

Action sequences usually take me a few different passes to get right. I’m not a natural action/fight scene drawer, so my first couple sketches aren’t always exciting or interesting enough for me. #kidlit #graphicnovels #childrensbooks
