NYCC was pretty great (even though it took me two whole days to recover), especially Sunday when I got to hang out with this knucklehead all day. Comic-con just isn't the same without @fredvanlente.bsky.social.

Sitting in the Civics for All panel at NYCC. So inspiring what has been accomplished (5 years, 5 million comics given) and what is on the near horizon, in particular the "Know Your Rights" comic that is super exciting.

Just found out that the Baltimore marathon is happening at the same time as Baltimore Comic-Con AND the start/finish line is directly between the hotel I'm staying at and the convention center. Looks like I'm swimming to the con on Saturday!

Positive: the bifurcation of markets. There are many more audiences willing to buy & read comics than there were when I broke in, and so many more ways to get them.

Neg: drawing comics used to be a middle-class job. Many publishers now expect artists to live well below the poverty line. #lieberAMA

Austin Curreri @frostyausty.bsky.social · 1d

What changes throughout the years has been the most positive and the most negative for the comics industry, in your opinion?

Nice joke you’ve got there. Be a real shame if I repeated the content of it back to you with aggressively pedantic sincerity.

Sat next to the awesome @ryandunlavey.com, who saved my can with a cool wooden stand for my display. @fredvanlente.bsky.social showed up on Sunday and made me laugh so hard over some bullshit that I wheezed like a cartoon character. Good buddies you've known for years are good. Highly recommended.

Tentatively reopening the shop! ko-fi.com/elainemwill/... (Many items are unfortunately still Canada-only but, once again, stickers and prints *should* still be ok to send elsewhere)

E M Will @elainemwill.bsky.social · Sep 10

Haven't promoted my shop for a while due to the uncertainty surrounding tariffs etc...I've had to remove the shipping options to the US for certain items, but stickers and prints SHOULD still be okay for now since I can still send them as letters ko-fi.com/elainemwill/...
Canadians can buy anything!
