Favorite picture book in recent memory is CABOOSE by @100scopenotes.bsky.social and @ohtruth.bsky.social. This hippo child chooses chaos by messing with the front of the school lineup. Then he gets sent to the back, and does the same exact thing. Truly an agent of anarchy.

This will be the fourth year I’ve made a MICHY minicomic to give out (along with candy) on Halloween! We’re not as great as “the caramel apple house,” but I’ll take “the comic house!”
A sneak peek at part of the cover of Lucy’s annual Halloween minicomic, titled MICHY #4, the Lake Michigan monster in The SPOOKY SWITCHAROO.
