Author and illustrator of all the books you like. No, not that one. No, not that one either

The legendary "walking bed" page from Winsor McCay's "Little Nemo in Slumberland" was published on July 26, 1908. If there’s a Mt. Rushmore for Sunday pages, this one is certainly on it.

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

I expect my followers on Bluesky are smart, attractive people who would never fall for a book scam email, but I got a new variety today I thought I'd call out—a scammer actually claiming to be an editor at Chronicle (incidentally, one of my publishers). The link goes to Chronicle and everything.

Part of a scam email of the sort that ostensibly preys on insecure published authors (or as I call them, "published authors"). This one's the first I've gotten that poses as a legit publishing house, including a link to the real house website and another to its entry on Wikipedia.
