Dalton Webb was one of the most welcoming and supportive members of Seattle’s comics community, back when I first moved to town. I’m so sad to hear of his passing, and grateful to @tatsgill.bsky.social for this comic.
My old friend Dalton, brilliant illustrator, kindest friend, has died. It’s so sad, I’m so sad, as are so many people. The first thing anyone says, whether they knew him 30 years ago or today, is how kind he was — what an amazing legacy. Lots of love to his family and all his loved ones 💔

Dalton was such a sweet, good person and a light in the kid lit community, Washington and beyond. Such a loss.

We’re saddened by the passing of illustrator Dalton Webb. We’re grateful we had him at this year’s Bigfoot Kids’ Book Festival celebrating his debut. Our hearts are with his family; may we honor his memory by sharing his work.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.
Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.
Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

I think the fact it's harder and harder to opt out of having a fucking mediocre insensate program write for you is the most infuriating thing. It helps that like her I write longhand drafts, but having to disable things in Word or just ignore them is becoming annoying AF.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Unsolicited writing advice: no. 8075: There is no such thing as serious writing. There are only writers who take their work seriously, and those who don’t. Tragedy is no more “serious” than comedy. Children’s writing is no less “serious” than writing for adults. Good writing is wherever you find it.
