If you live in Calgary and aren’t supporting The Sprawl, do it!! Always, great reporting from city hall and during elections.
The Sprawl is now in its 9th (!) year and I think 2025 has been the best yet. Thank you to everyone who has made our work possible! @calgaryhester.bsky.social signs us off for the holidays with one last comic.
Thank you Calgary! A word of heartfelt gratitude | The Sprawl
You made 2025 an extraordinary year.

I really had fun making this comic about some of @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social's 2025 highlights. Our great year was made possible by folks who value local journalism. And it's because of your support that I get to make comics about Calgary. Thanks! Looking forward to more comics in 2026!

Trying to get a few last Sprawl things done before the holidays but it feels like I am moving at a glacial speed. Which I suppose is all right.

Great read on how Calgary can have one of the most expensive transit fares and also comically bad transit service
New Sprawlcast out this morning! Mmmm... I do love me some transit butter. You can listen to the episode or read the article version (or do both!) as you see fit. #yyccc

A great podcast that unpacks the current and future transit challenges of sprawling Calgary, highlighted by Jeremy’s spot-on “why, why, why?”

Calgary city council is way off in the weeds on blanket rezoning. Not voting on repealing on blanket rezoning today, but on whether or not to start the process (for March '26 hearing + decision). Repetitive amendments, numerous councillors trying to put their stamp on a repeal. #yyccc

Friendly reminder that you can cut "going forward" from any piece of writing or speech and not lose anything. You'll even make it better!

One of the most enjoyable parts of my job is fleshing out story art with my designer. It gets zany. And fun. Lots goes into it. We had five different cover art concepts for tomorrow's Sprawlcast. Have narrowed it down to two. Will use one. All that just for the art. It's worth it.

When I reflect on 2025 it feels like I'm losing connection in many ways. With friends. With family. With neighbours. With colleagues. All kinds of relationships atrophying. I like "doing my own thing." But... this is not good. I don't think this is how we were meant to be

Seriously I don't know what's up. It's been almost half a year (June) since I put out a new documentary-style episode of Sprawlcast. It feels stuck. Have been prioritizing other projects/formats for The Sprawl. And can't seem to get back into the podcast groove. It is a frustration.
I have to finish a Sprawlcast this week. HAVE TO. I've got a few episodes in various stages of (in)completion and for some reason I just can't land the plane on any of them. LAND THE GODDAMN PLANE KLASZUS

Went to Deerfoot Meadows instead of Sunridge to run errands today and I don’t know how people go there on the regular. Rats in a maze!

Is it stupid to buy different versions (editions) of a favourite book? Probably. Do I do it anyway? Yes.

Still updating this budget tracker with more info today. Council fast-tracked a new neighbourhood + $24M fire hall on the northwest edge of the city (moved by Wyness). Admin advised caution: "This area is premature." Council approved it 9 - 6. #yyccc
