Can we pet that dog?! Bring your dog to the shop & get a free comic! Starting Wednesday June 18th we’ll trade a facsimile copy of the 1st appearance of Krypto for some good puppy scuffles!

Don’t have a dog? Just make a $2 donation to the SPCA and we’ll give you a copy!*

*while supplies last ❤️

🫣Uh oh. The big boss came in and said we have to close at 4:00 today for the holiday!🫢 We tried to tell her we wanted to hang out and work all day, but she said we can’t! Darn it… Oh well. Hope to see you soon!

This guy right here is heading down to San Diego for some hardcore Eisner Award judging action! If you’re not familiar, this is like the Oscars of comics. Being a judge is a giant honor and means Eitan has spent all year reading all the comics.

Sometimes we get super lucky and one of our interns from Oakland School of the Arts falls a little behind on a project and need to work on it at the shop. They probably don’t think that’s lucky, but we’re nosey as hell and they’re fun to watch work!
