another new zine ✨ “How about…” is a zine I made earlier this year for Zineton. It’s about the process of making a zine - very meta, yes. #comic #sotavaltart
Photo of theme comic zine “How about…”. The cover has a simple illustration of a man pondering. Sample pages of the comic.

Mun uusi sarjakuva ”Pari juttua isyydestä” on kokoelma pieniä suuria hetkiä vauvavuodesta. Kiinnostaako vauva-arki ja/tai homoisät? Jos kyllä niin oot tän sarjakuvan kohdeyleisöä 🫵🏻
Kuva sarjakuvasta ”Pari juttua isyydestä”. Sarjakuvan kannessa on sarjakuvan nimi ja kuvitus isästä, jolla on vauva kantorepussa. Näyte sarjakuvasta ”Pari juttua isyydestä”. Sarjakuvassa parrakas, silmälasipäinen mies pistää musiikkia soimaan ja tanssii vauvan iloksi.
