I just saw the sad news that Drew Hennessy has passed. I didn't know him personally but had the pleasure of coloring some of his work. He was a brilliant inker—a master of the craft. Please take a moment to read these recollections by those who knew him best:

Amazing to see this book still getting some love even eight years after it came out. Thanks so much for the support, Jeff! ❤️
@nathanfairbairn.bsky.social sold 10 copies of this excellent book last week, sold 4 already this week. It’s on my shop’s favourite shelf and we’re suggesting it to everyone.

Man, I needed some good news today. Thanks, Google Alerts! Looks like Hazel Has Her Hands Full is the 22nd best-selling Canadian book of 2025 so far. 😳 It's been on the Kids bestsellers list all year, but I'm shocked to place so high among all Canadian authors.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Wow. Having a little trouble processing this news. After stalling out for a few weeks at #2, PAWS: Hazel Has Her Hands Full is the #1 bestselling Canadian kids book this week. 😳

My office is a mess because of Christmas time and end of the year binge reading not being cleaned up yet, but this is where I do my dark bidding on SKTCHD and Off Panel. Your space really makes me want to spruce mine up!

Okay, Bluesky, I’m going to give this social media thing one more (last?) try, and I’d like to start by checking in on all of my comics friends to see where they’re at. And I mean that literally—show me your workspace, and maybe let me know what you’re working on! I’ll start! #WorkspaceWednesday

While I'm dusting off my Bluesky account, I suppose I'd better mention that the boxed set of the first three volumes of PAWS is now in stores, just in time for Christmas shopping! 😉

Just approved the upcoming Danish edition of PAWS volume 4 (in stores January 14th!) and thought I'd take a moment to express gratitude. I'm so thrilled that our series has been such a success internationally. Twelve translations and a British Commonwealth edition! More than I ever hoped for. ☺️

Hi! I joined Bluesky a few weeks ago but was unsure if I'd ever post here. I've had a pretty big shift in my career path and nowadays very little of my audience is even online. Plus, the last year on Twitter really killed my interest in social media.
So I've been lurking here. And it's been nice!
