Sounds like a fun idea!

And it has occurred to me today that I ought to print more copies than I did yesterday. I’ll take care of that before the Festival tomorrow!

If you can’t get one at the Library tomorrow, we can DM about where I could mail a few to you!
November 14, 2025 at 8:33 PM
Thanks so much!

One thing the Green’s backers really don’t lack is community!

Have you seen the “Today You’re With Us” documentary on YouTube?

Our table will also have dozens of minicomics by my students, copies of my #OrwellVsChatGPT and #DailyKrazyDetail zines, and assorted things from the UVM Comics-Based Research Lab. And that’s just ONE of the dozens of tables at the festival!

I’m really glad you like it! There are so many things I wish I’d been able to fit in.

Have you seen the “Today You’re With Us” documentary yet? (It’s on YouTube.)

It’s my pleasure! We have to celebrate a few good things from time to time

If you have favorite pages in the zine, or favorite memories from 2025 Green games, please reply! I hope you’ll like the little book as much as I enjoyed making it! 💚📓

I’m glad you like it! I hope I can get it into some fans’ hands at the library this weekend! 💚

And here’s a stack of the zines before becoming zines:

Handed out my first sixty copies (mostly to my students) today! Here’s sixty more, waiting to have their covers collated, their paper folded, and their binding stapled.

Come get them at the Fletcher Free Library on Saturday! UTFG

Here’s a bit of process (and a thread of it):

It’s all lettered and pencilled. I’ve just got to ink 19 drawings!

The rest of “Why I Love the Vermont Green.” After this I’ll quote some previous posts with process images, in case you’d like to see those.
