There’s a direct connection between @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social’s Bone appearing in Disney Adventures and my mom advocating for comics in her school.

I always wondered how Disney decided to inject an indie juggernaut into its massive readership. @davidharper.bsky.social tracked down this history:

“It Kind of Changed My Life”: The Story of Bone’s Time in Disney Adventures, From the People Who Made It Happen - SKTCHD

I think my favorite example of this is in @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social's Bone, when Gran'ma Ben punches through the wall and comic panel at the same time to grab a rat creature.
