Film nerds, worth it to see The Odyssey in 70MM or will a regular screen be fine?
Just sent out my (semi) monthly newsletter! This one is about tabling at comic conventions. Is it worth it? Who knows! Contains a brand new comic about my experience staying at a Toronto university dorm during TCAF 😅https://pencilbooth.com/posts/ad34c9ad-3820-4c34-81bd-0dd42b5a2a7f
Convention Fun Times
In which I table at several comic conventions

Truly there is no greater curse than to love books and live in a small apartment.
We are home yay. I dunno what it was about this trip, but I felt like talking shit about Vancouver the whole time. Maritimer: you live in Vancouver? I've heard its beautiful. Me: meh, it's not that great. 😑
Wedding #2 on this trip was yesterday! Tim & I drew the happy couple's cats on their card. 😁
Gasp! I own all these comics & I had no idea! 😱
I finally have all the volumes of Monster. I think it's really cool how the cover art fits together. It would be so awesome if I could figure out a way to display them like this. This series has been crazy entertaining and I'm excited to read the final volume this weekend.
Haven’t been posting cause I’m in Nova Scotia for the 2nd wedding of the week & but I just want everyone to know that 1) I miss my cat And 2) my tummy hurts
Visiting my mom & she had a Tintin comic The Red Sea Sharks) lying around (probably from my childhood) & this sequence where Captain Haddock is concerned about Tintin vs concerned with protecting his precious whiskey bottle is so funny.
Took a flight yesterday so (finally!!!) finished watching season 2 of The Pitt and my god what a showwwww 😭 Every character is so nuanced, perfect & MESSY in the most glorious way. The final shot of the season, Dr Robby & the baby, closing out with such gentleness, no notes forever & ever amen.
Whenever I fly I think about the one time I booked Business Class (for some reason the ticket was the cheapest option?) and how much better it was to travel that way than jammed together in economy. 🫠
Please call your reps today and tell them NO on HR 7661! This is a nationwide book ban in public schools that'd forbid any mention of transness. Congress wants to slam through some terrible legislation this week before they go on summer break. @authorsabb.bsky.social
First day working on my new Cintiq and it feels Weird.
Tried to mute "Odyssey" because some of y'all are driving me crazy reposting those stupid takes from The Bad Place, but it wasn't working for some reason, then noticed I'd spelled it "Odessey" lol
Yesterday I had a chai latte with oat milk so good that I immediately wanted to tell the internet about it. It was so good internet!
Haha oh yeah this was a thing that happened back in 2016! XD Naughty Dog needed set dressing for a tween’s bedroom & reached out to me. This was after I drew the Last of Us prequel comic.
Finishing a second playthrough of Uncharted 4 and how did I miss during my first run that Cassie Drake had The Nameless City by @faitherinhicks.bsky.social on her shelf???? How can these games keep making me like them more????
The weird creature who lives in my home has been killing it recently
My beloved 12 year old Cintiq, bought in 2014, has finally given up the electronic ghost, so I guess today’s a free day. I feel like I should have some kind of ceremony for my fallen art warrior. I’ve drawn hundreds, nay, thousands of comic pages on it in the past decade+. Perhaps a burial at sea?
ok one Avengers trailer post so I can feel included: why is Nandor the Relentless narrating it?
Finished reading Hell's Heart by Alexis Hall last night, took me a month to get through it because this book is the most bonkers work of Art I've ever read. It's a gay scifi genderflipped retelling of Moby Dick, where the whale is a monstrous space creature who sails the seas of Jupiter. It's WILD.
Somehow got sucked into watching this soccer game, which was not on the agenda. (Agenda: watch Widow's Bay, read a book)
Okey dokey time to watch the Widow's Bay final episode.
