Jeff Smith's BONE had a surprising home during the 1990s in Disney Adventures magazine. It was a banner moment for the comic and readers...but how did it happen?

This is the story of Bone's time in Disney Adventures, with insight from the key players involved.

It's open to non-subscribers.

Sharing this 5 page comic I made recently. Going for a bit of a Calvin & Hobbes x Bluey vibe. This one is for the parents who have ever struggled with getting their kid to bed at night. Full comic also posted on my personal site. Hope everyone enjoys! Art credits in 🧵 (benogrady.com/featured/the...)

Heidi MacDonald gets a much deserved award. Somewhere, Chip Zdarsky is very happy.

Great convo with Spurrier. I read Voice Said Kill this morning and loved it. I'll be reading the whole series. It drips with bayou sweat and tension
This week on Off Panel, we have a heck of a chat with writer @sispurrier.bsky.social on the podcast, who joins the show for a very real talk about writing and creating comics these days, ending The Flash, starting The Voice Said Kill, working with @matiasbergara.bsky.social, and more.

Support great comics journalism!
So, I was laid off by my job this week after 13 years.

Not only that, but it happened as bills from my recent heart attack-related medical visits come due.

Because of that, I'm doing a big sale for SKTCHD/Off Panel related things, so now's a good time to subscribe if you can...because I need it!

2025 NBA Playoffs: There's No Right Way to Build a Contender Anymore
The road to a ring has never looked less familiar. With superteams long gone, there has never been more paths to title contention. Just look at the conference finals.

Post #2! Same art from #1, but this time using only a 64 color palette for even more of a bronze age look. Art by Diego Toro (www.instagram.com/diegotoro7) and colors by Aline Martins (www.instagram.com/alinemarte_/). Love the way these pages turned out but both color styles.
