Oh yeah they ROCKED. They did me such a solid. I got to just disappear into the woods without cell reception for half of it.

This really helped. The pictures of wood chippers with my name on them affected me a lot more than they did my friends, so they could do it with considerably less psychic damage than I could. And it only lasted about 3 days.

This has happened to me on a smaller scale and I also got antisemitic comments.

Two of my friends got me through it. One monitored my account for direct threats in real time, and the other periodically took screenshots of direct threats and hate speech in case I ever needed them as evidence.

Yes get a dog

I'm really good at getting in there fast but when I exhibited two years ago there were so few graphic novels for sale that it felt like a pop culture show, not a comic show. It's okay for shows to be mostly merch and prints but it's not a good fit for me.

I am an organizer of @comicartsmaineport.bsky.social in Portland Maine and we do this :)

Off I go!

Thank you!!!

Yeah it's roughhh. I blame the economy since sales of art/artisan goods seem low across the board. But yeah, that's why CAMP will stay cheap 😎😎😎

My sales have been quite bad for about a year and a half now as well. It's really rough.

Overwhelmingly, we want changes that will improve conditions for the artists, remaining and future staff, and the publisher.

You can still buy sprocket books and support sprocket artists!

I understand - there are some but most are gone or in the process of leaving. No former employees have called for a boycott that I know of.

No sprocket artists or employees are calling for a boycott. Most of us still want sprocket books to be supported, because that is how the artists are supported. You can buy the book! You can even reach out to the artist to see if you can buy it from them directly :)
