If you’re into learning about queer history or reading bracingly personal autobio comics about gender and relationships, I seriously think you’ll love QUEER AND HOW WE GOT HERE. newlevant.storenvy.com/products/370...

New study suggests that raising school ventilation levels to ASHRAE 241 targets could reduce flu cases by 33% for the WHOLE POPULATION! We need clean air in schools so bad!!! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

Notes from today’s “Healthy Air in NYC Schools” meeting. I learned that there’s a bill we can support RIGHT NOW (NYC Council Introduction 699) which would set air quality standards in schools and implement real-time reporting! intro.nyc/0699-2026+

1 of the best 2 do it 😊

This is so gorgeous 😭

In 1980, Hayao Miyazaki felt creatively washed up. Then he read an American comic that amazed him. Its name: Rowlf. As he tried to adapt it into a movie, Miyazaki evolved and found a new approach that reshaped his work. We're looking into the story: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/an-unmade-...

My cousin organized a series of masked concerts in NYC so immunocompromised and other covid-conscious folks can still enjoy live music events, and is raising funds so he can keep doing so! Love and appreciation to anyone able to chip in 🙏🏾♥️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/pos...

I did a panel at NYCC yesterday, and today I see an audience member post about how they were sick on the last day, but “felt energized walking through artist alley.” Just a reminder that these events are super high exposure and we can’t assume people will stay home OR mask up when sick 😩

Today's Style

Extremely here at PCX! I am soooo extant.

See ya at Philly Comics Expo tomorrow! 🎉📚✨

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

Something to add to the agenda

Comics workers! We need YOU to contribute to this survey! Beyond page rates & advances, we also ask about con revenue, Kickstarters, subscription platforms, & more! To make positive changes in our industry, we need to better understand challenges faced by traditional & self-published cartoonists!

Stoked to table at the Philly Comics Expo for the first time next Saturday, 10/10! I'm sure the show will be a 10/10 as well. Catch me at table 34 with the esteemed @kbriggs.bsky.social!

Just got in my table assignment for PCX, and I'm going to be rocking Table 35 with my good pal @larsenproject.bsky.social! And if that wasn't cool enough, I'll be right next to @newlevant.bsky.social and @kbriggs.bsky.social at Table 34! I cannot think of better company!

Beautiful notes, Hazel! On a related note: the Green Healthy Schools campaign, led by @alignny.bsky.social, seeks a triple-win for environmental justice, public education, and organized labor through renovating NYC's public school infrastructure. You can learn more about the campaign here.
