Hi Bluesky, I'm Karen, sometimes working professionally as K Czap. My two books are the queer utopian mixtape that is Fütchi Perf (Uncivilized Books, 2017) and Four Years (Czap Books, 2024), a comic that tries to cure trauma with friendship. I like making work about friendship and transcendence

I can't really think of a more pleasant person to chat about Hellboy with than @trungles.com. We recorded this podcast episode months ago, fortunately our takes aged like fine wine. Easily one of my favorite artists, check out his new book Angelica and the Bear Prince (and listen to this episode) ❤️

We're having school closures in the Northern suburbs too, community centers closed. I'm not seeing Somali neighbors I'd normally see around town. It's awful.
