Our window displays at @comixexperience.bsky.social by the great Katie Borrman are always strong, but in my opinion this one is the ne plus ultra, perfectly capturing comics, and multiple styles in a tribute to the classic gag by Bushmiller!

Well, today's OTHER news (of Diamond filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy) is probably going to strongly overshadow this, but my interview with Atom Freeman dropped this morning, and, looking through the archive, it appears this is THE longest show he has ever done. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1gP...

Here is a pic sent to me by Michael Drivas (Serpico in this pic), who went on to open Big Brain Comics in mpls, with Rob Bennett (the Hesher) of @comixexperience.bsky.social in, let's say, 1992? Look at the wall of back issues then, or how GNs had a little room to be displayed and not just spines!
