A cartoon drawing of a horse jumping off of a giant tortoise's back and onto a moving train. An anthropomorphic pig rides on the tortoise's back, and a chimp and cat are on top of the train.
Tortoise: Club 'em once for me!
Horse: Oh, why be stingy?

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

A cartoon drawing of anthropomorphic animals on a three-wheeled motorcycle. A cat and chimp hold onto the back of the bike that's driven by a two-headed snake man. A large BRUM sound effect is behind them. the scene is comical and exciting.

A cartoon drawing of two anthropomorphic cats and a pig. The cats are on a train, being overtaken by cat mummies. The pig shouts from outside the train.
Pig: Don't hurt them! They're just really grumppy!
Cat: Oh, stow your gaff! Unless you want to come in here and help us!

A promotional image for Jerzy Drozd's appearance at Awesome Con, March 13-15, 2026. He's offering free drawings of custom cursed objects. An example appearance in a picture frame. It's a spooky looking dog plush, and the text next to it begins with "The Placid Pooch."

Visit my table at Awesome Con and be prepared to share a spooky/silly story, along with a cherished object, and I will use cartoonist alchemy to synthesize them into your own custom cursed object.

For FREE. Because I can't in good conscience charge you for a πŸ’€cursed itemπŸ’€.

I am certain that whenever someone posts about β€œgatekeeping art” or whatever, they’re talking about posting drawings online for clicks. They never mean arranging rocks in the back yard. They never mean whistling to yourself and finding a tune that makes you happy. They never mean napkin doodles.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

A2CAF 2026 | Ann Arbor District Library

Kids Read Comics has since teamed up with the Ann Arbor District Library to create A2CAF, which is still a kid/family focused comics festival: aadl.org/a2caf

I have little to do with programming these days, but they're continuing to create kid-focused events.

So one of the things I came up with since I took over as managing editor at Iron Circus is doing more sales for the back catalogue. And last year (based on stats) we learned one day sales do better than longer running sales.
