The final episodes of the year from @sktchd.bsky.social are something I look forward to. David ends up adding ten or so books (usually manga) to my “must read” list, and the “3 Themes” ep always ends up guiding my creative path for next year ( @comixace.bsky.social and @ashcanpress.com nailed it)

Hey, guys, let me share with you my Christmas Tale.

This year has been tough, the news cicle has been pushing us into doomscrolling and poisoned us to feel hate and to be vile and despicable.

We are better than that, we are people and people are always good.
