A family member pointed out that all my kid subcategories weren’t in the webshop menu so I fixed that!

Next year I’ll sort out the Kiddos section properly, Past Matt used to put everything in the Kiddos section!

Just one last BIG bill left to pay for 2025, our annual Dublin City Council rates! After that just a few tiny bills, oh and January rent. And maybe after that a paycheck for myself? The dream! Made great inroads yesterday to ending the year debt free!

Five shopping days left!

Even horror! A shelf I don’t even go near because I imagine it’s haunted.
December 19, 2025 at 11:09 AM
but I’ve been trying really hard hard the last few months to keep a few trilogies and mini series in stock!

In store and online!

Pulling the overnight orders and highlighting our serials! If you’ve followed Little Deer for years, you know I don’t have the shelf space or budget to maintain serials (much to the disappointment of young manga fans)

RTÉ Lyric FM playing the Christmas cartoon hits!

Here until 1 & 3-5 this fine last-Friday-before-Christmas!

Wanted to recommend a selection of comics set at Christmas, but Cassandra Darke was the only one I could think of! So then I thought, what selection COULD it be part of? So I present: masterclasses in cartooning!

Perfect gifts for the cartoonist in your life or the inner artist in yourself!

Going in I wasn't aware of the setting, and I'm in awe of the research and imagination needed to make something that feels this grounded and specific. Amazing!

The generous cross-hatching is the PERFECT fit for this claustrophobic, hallucinatory horror. So textured and alive that the reader is swept right into the panic and delusion. Halftone over hatching, decade over decade, panel over panel.

Classic impromptu review with shopkeeper Kat! This time it's The Sickness Vol. 1 by @jennacha.bsky.social & @lonnienadler.bsky.social

Not-Comics Restocks!

Some of which already hoovered up by Christmas shoppers!

Open until 7 and online all the time!

Until then let’s sell lots of comics and movies and albums so Little Deer can end the year debt free with January rent in hand!

Pulling orders here on our last Thursday of 2025! Reminder that our last day is Tuesday the 23rd and then we’ll take a break while the kids are off school and reopen January 6th.

A Christmas miracle! I wasn’t expecting this book until January, but here it is! The latest @peow.bsky.social release!

In store and online and as always, because we’re too small a shop to handle the mad Peow rushes, Ireland-only!

Deliveries! Including one surprise I wasn’t expecting until next year!

Last deliveries of the year maybe? I think there might be another small one.

ACK, lines at the post office, will be back when I’m back!

Until then!

Well done to the Little Deer and @dublincomicarts.bsky.social gang for getting to the #savethecomplex march!

Extra maddening that I need to do this during Little Deer’s most vital time of year.

Drowning, trying to toss a lifesaver to someone else drowning.
December 17, 2025 at 12:40 PM
I’m no Holly Pereira but we gotta do SOMETHING!

Thank you to everyone marching right now to #savethecomplex

I can’t afford to close the shop which kind of underlines how precarious the arts are in Dublin!
December 17, 2025 at 12:40 PM
Putting away restocks and then logging new arrivals! Here until 1 & 3-5!

But fine to shop online instead if you’re attending the #savethecomplex march at noon!
December 17, 2025 at 10:26 AM
That’s my decision made easy!

Last day open for Little Deer will be December 23rd

If you think I’m opening Christmas Eve without a coffee and mince pie from Slice you’re mad!
