For a long time, I dreamed of having my local comic book shop advertise my name for their Free Comic Book Day event.

I asked this penguin how it feels to be tariffed and they said “what’s a tariff? Also I’m a puffin.”
They also didn’t know what a comic was, but Rise of the Flightless is still accepting submissions!

So, i want to talk about @theilluminerdi.bsky.social he has worked so hard on being part of various anthologies. Over the years, we have had him write a character called SGT PEPERMINT. He now, with this volume, has a floppy comic's worth of story. GRATZ!

Dear Up and Coming Comic Writer,
Today is a good day to write! If you're having issues with starting, I recommend using a puke draft:
One page, one sentence.
Then do one page, one sentence per panel.
You will find a piece of gold in your pile of garbage.
You got this!
