Exactly 40 years ago today (Nov 18,1985), a 6-year-old & his best friend tiger began exploring the mysteries of childhood with humor (& tuna sandwiches).

For those who've missed it: I've been in Guadalajara for the past few months on an art residency! I'm giving a lecture this Friday night to round out my time here and to talk about the things I've learned talking to local cartoonists.
It's a totally free event, just register at https://itsnero.com/jupiterfab ! (And yes, there will be Spanish translation!!)

Can anyone recommend comics I can give to my pre-teen nephew? Something that is age appropriate but smart, and thematically challenging, with something to say about the world, culture, navigating life, or whatever.
Bonus points for being easily available in Aotearoa, but that's far from a bottom line.
Okay, it's up now.
This is Alice Guy's Race for the Sausage from 1907
I love early film. I love movies in general, really, but I've watched a lot of early films, but this one feels less like something from 1907 and more like something that'd be shot for youtube or instagram in 2017.
It's cute, enjoy it.

Hi! I’m Incognito Pencil! I’m creating a scifi-fantasy webcomic called Proximity about fairies and humans in a post-apocalyptic world.
I’m currently working on a smaller comic first, about a side character, a young girl living outside the city walls.

#WritersCoffeeClub 6, Do you make use of unconventional punctuation?
I try to stick with comic book conventions BUT let me introduce you non-comics folks to "breath marks" which have been conventional in comics for almost a century but haven't been adopted more widely.
The marks surround breath or throat sounds (descriptive or onomatopoeic).
Used together with nothing between (arguably a different mark altogether), usually after an ellipsis, they indicate unconsciousness or death.
Turns out it wasn't a glitch. An injured alien (Gigi) points a raygun at him, then collapses, a whole/double breath mark indicates the moment she passes out.
CJ waits inside the door of his retro sci-fi house, holding a frying pan defensively. He begins to laugh, realising that the warning of someone in the airlock must have been a glitch. Breath marks surround "pfff" as he begins to laugh.
