Glad to be here. Is this the last chat of the year?

This month's win is that I got my books and plushies ready to go! I got very few, but it's still fulfilling to have this thing I came up with at a caffe in my old filthy hands

I appreciate the answers and I suppose I will put in the email.

But

Gotta say a card with JUST website (or even no website) is pretty friggin’ awesome 😆
Thinking about new business cards.

Do I still put email?

Or just my website?

Hey, I'm looking for comics and graphic novels *by* Indigenous writers and/or illustrators, especially in the Americas. Doesn't have to be a recent book. Any genre! Any topic, any themes, does not have to be a memoir or history, though that is welcome too!
