Fuckaduck, what a depressing day of capitulations, on both sides of the pond.

Comicbook retailers -- fascinating conversation with other creators raises a question.
When you're placing orders for NCBD, how do you apportion your budget? Book by book basis? Publisher by publisher? Do the brackets change weekly, or is it always "x% on DC", "y% on Image"? What drives change?

Woke up early feeling immediately energetic and positive, even without coffee, for the first time in years! Played with the kids! Danced!
Sat down to eat breakfast. Turned my head a millimetre to the left and instantly fucked my entire neck.
Everything is rubbish and god hates us all.

UK child-adjacent comics-knowers: any comics reccos for a kid (7) who's nuts about football but not a natural reader?
My own boy is now a voracious bookworm and it's thanks to comics -- I'm wondering if anyone's staked a claim to the footie/sequentials intersection in that under-10s category?

I love folk raving about @sispurrier.bsky.social work ( especially when it’s folk as equally talented and smart as Pornsak ) because he’s one of the nicest people in comics and honestly I just don’t think he gets the flowers he deserves often enough
( ditto what Pornsak said about TVSK )
( ditto what Pornsak said about TVSK )
It's interesting how differently I read digital vs. physical comix. I recommended @sispurrier.bsky.social & Vanessa Del Rey's THE VOICE SAID KILL 1 after reading a digital copy, but after reading a physical one, even though it's exactly the same, I think it's the best new crime comic of the year.

I think about Macbeth's Tomorrow-And-Tomorrow-And-Tomorrow speech a lot, lately. He was talking about life, but it makes a rather beautiful review of a decent 70% of everything you'll watch or read this year.
