CW: pet loss. This is a really hard comic about grief, so if you’re not in a place to read it, that’s okay. I hope this connects with anyone who’s feeling loss in this first week of the new year.
I love Twyla’s shape. I love her soft snout and her velvety ears. She loved me more than anyone else in the world. It’s hard to accept that she’s not going to wake me up in the mornings anymore. Squeeze your loved ones close for me. I’m going to be offline for a little while but please feel free to share something really funny about death. 💛 #petloss #petlosssupport #petlossgrief #griefjourney
Do not stand still or stay silent. 💛 We shouldn’t rely on Instagram, with all its censorship and profit-driven limitations, as the home for comics about our world. For the past six months, @whylsadeye@tracychahwan@andywarnercomics and I have been working on building an archive of comics about the ongoing genocide in Palestine. The site, @cartoonistsforpalestine , is live today.
You can read and share comics from the site and we’re also planning a print anthology as a fundraiser. If you want to donate a comic you’ve made to the archive, there’s a form on the site or you can email me at [email protected]. ✏️✊✏️ Illustration in these graphics by @kazzer.lee and web design on the site is by @layalk . #comics #palestine
My dear friend @nellyrrrrrrrp and I made this zine for anyone who is considering top surgery—and their care team. I got to help care for Nelle after their surgery this summer and it felt like such an honor, to be trusted to care for a friend. 💛💛💛 We made this zine available as a free PDF you can download and print out from my website, with a creative commons license, so you can give copies to anyone you like. Check out the “free zines” link in my bio. I’ll be handing out free copies at @massmice this weekend, too. #zines #zinester #topsurgery #topsurgerytips #topsurgerypostop #transjoy

I went to my first WNBA game yesterday and it was a banger! With an absolutely last-second shot, the @portlandfirewnba won and we all screamed! This is a group zine made by my friends as we pregamed with huckleberry lemonade. Each person drew a page - shoutout to contributions from @audmcname@catch.some.zees and @mozeeeer ! 🏀🏀🏀
I’m heading to the Midwest for the next week to see old friends and table for @crucialcomix in Madison and Chicago! Stop by and say hi at @printandresist on Saturday April 25 and @cakechicago May 2 & 3!
Share your favorite foods to eat on Amtrak. Has anyone ever actually glimpsed the promised Asian Noodle Salad?? This zine is available for $3 on my website (link in my bio) for any discerning train fans. #amtrak #amtraktrain #plantbasedfood #zines
Comics journalist and prolific zine maker Shay Mirk @mirkdrop was in town and we made this little zine together. We both teach and were talking about how that fits into our art practice and I said you wanna make a zine about teaching? And they started it and an hour later we had this.
Read the whole post and download the zine as a printable PDF at teabuoy.substack.com
This collaborative zine of portraits drawn by @channeldraw was on display at @nwmoca as part of their opening exhibition about @cartoonistsforpalestine . // The information in the portraits comes from @committeetoprotectjournalists , who keep track of journalists killed around the world. The exhibition about is no longer up, but I would love to display the artwork and zine at any gallery or museum that would like to host a show. Drop me a line if you have an exhibition space and want to share these stories. Huge thank you to @channeldraw for making his memorial portraits available for anyone to download and share. 💛 #freepalestine #protectjournalists #protectjournalistsingaza #cartoonistsforpalestine #zines
A little dispatch from taking my folding bike on the train and biking around Baltimore for #AWP26. 🚲 I took Amtrak from Portland to Seattle, then flew to Durham, led a zine workshop at Duke, took the train to Baltimore, led a zine worship at MICA, hung out all weekend for the massive writing conference AWP and am now en route on Amtrak to New Orleans. // Cameos here by @thejackfruitslayer and sketchbooks by @yifanluoart and @annasellheim . Amazing art installations at @the_avam 👀👀 Thanks for bopping around Baltimore with me!
Hourly comics day!! This is an annual just-for-fun tradition where people try to draw diary comics for every hour of the day. This took me two days because I took LOTS OF STRETCHING AND REST BREAKS like a good student!! ✨ People might not know that my life is 80% dogs and 20% soup but now you know. // Shout outs in this to @b_charbonneau@hellosunshinevintage@crucialcomix@kriotawillberg and an excellent minestrone recipe by @isachandra // #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicsday2026 #hourlycomics #diarycomics
For every issue of @pomomagazine , I get to make a comic about something I love in Portland. The upcoming issue features @birdherspdx - a birding group that creates connection. 🦆
