Hobtown Mystery Stories volume 3 “The Secret of the Saucer” is my favorite book of 2025. I’ve been looking forward to it since 2019 and it was a satisfying landing. Thanks for sticking it through.

Congrats @hobtown.bsky.social @oni-press.bsky.social

We’re discussing “Beneath the Trees” this month @thegeekerynj.bsky.social Book club and I was hoping @patrickhorvath.bsky.social would comment on the choice of this book for this scene? Are you connecting to one of the real books or just the idiom?

Deviant by @jamesthefourth.bsky.social, Josh Hixson and @hassanoe.bsky.social creates such an unsettling atmosphere. I’d love to hear a deeper dive into @tylerboss.bsky.social design process and how that works into it. E.g., how the choice of this panel wide type for the setting 🤍came about?
February 5, 2024 at 12:15 PM
The @thegeekerynj.bsky.social Book club wants to know, @kendallgoode.bsky.social @xtop.bsky.social , if this panel from “Dirtbag Rapture” is a shout out to @tylerboss.bsky.social and @ashcanpress.bsky.social “WTFPFH”?!
