I do get the feeling sometimes that comics kickstarter is just us all passing the same $5 back and forth.

I feel this so deeply. Crunched all summer to get a new manuscript on submission. Then launched directly into two editing gigs. Turned the second of those in this morning. I have nothing to do for the first time in months, and I hate it.

I can’t begin to express how it feels to see your neighbors fleeing in terror. I cried all the way to work. Please take care of yourself, your neighbors and family. And if you can, give: alotrolado.org . AOL do direct service for migrants. We’ve raised $350K. They need more.

Book 1 was a starred selection in School Library Journal's Great Books for Kids, and received praise from Booklist and Publisher's Weekly. And Book 2 is even better!

Surprise twist reveal: the skunk didn't spray me! But I did jump away from it with great vim and slam my head into the tree.

Ask me how I know.

About 90% of my phone's storage is pictures of this idiot giving herself spinal damage.
