Hyllyy: Viikko käyntiin ränttäämällä. Suomen mediakenttä ilmeisesti jumitteli somessa tai kaiveli napaansa, kun Suomeen tuli täysin poikkeuksellinen sarjistunnustus. En usein halua tehdä tällaisia valituspostauksia, mutta pohja se on minunkin säkissäni. #sarjakuvat

Pohdinta: Suomalainen voitti maailman tunnetuimman ja arvostetuimman sarjispalkinnon, asiasta uutisoi kaksi paikallismediaa

En erityisemmin jaksa osallistua siihen keskusteluun, jossa surkutellaan sarjakuvan päähänpotkittua asemaa kulttuurikentällä tai yhteiskunnallisessa keskustelussa. Jotenkin tuntuu siltä, että siitä…

currently reading, Our Soot Stained Heart @jhagg.bsky.social @stipanmorian.bsky.social Ropemann, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou A great read for the season/weather. Looking forward to more steampunk #comics! I enjoy the style/story approach -A fan animation I made, but I am open to work! @madcavestudios.com

Hassan absolutely deserves this! His work in Our Soot Stained Heart is genuinely boundary pushing. His lettering lifts every book he works on.

The third issue of IS TED OK? hits comic shops today (4.29), and I’d be hyped as hell if you bought it and posted on your socials about it—if you dig it. Word-of-mouth is EVERYTHING for an indie comic to succeed. Plus, it’s really fucking good.

"After two genuinely great issues, 'Is Ted OK?' #3 sees a pivot that ups the weird factor, furthers the gorgeous humanity, and makes it clear that this book is still just getting started." @madcavestudios.com #NCBD #comicsky @davechisholmcomics.com Read @chriscoplan.bsky.social's review:

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

The final issue of Our Soot Stained Heart comes out on Wednesday! So I will post some of my favorite neat little details from issues 1-4 in this thread, one issue / day!
