Was excited to attend a regional event but have backed out because the author agreement prevents us from selling books at our tables!
I bet all the king’s horses and all the king’s men could have in fact put Humpty Dumpty back together again. They just didn’t want to. Because he was an asshole.
Who called it Lucid Dreaming instead of Snooze Your Own Adventure?
Gotta say the new 2026 Eisner Award is a little taller, a whole lot heavier, and overall just a little bit nicer. Proud to have both!
Friday night a dream came true for the second time: we won another Eisner for our work with George Takei. But this time it was a different experience.
My thoughts on last night’s Eisner Award win for It Rhymes With Takei. ❤️ @gdayyank.bsky.social @georgetakei.bsky.social @josevillarrubia.bsky.social @natewidick.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
Saw a young couple share a hot dog while the woman sobbed. #CouplesOfComicCon
Best Graphic Memoir goes to It Rhymes with Takei, by George Takei, Harmony Becker, Steven Scott, and Justin Eisinger (Top Shelf) and Georg Takei comes out in a wheelcair and gets a standing ovation that last for quite a while. A lot of people are teary eyed, including Takei. #eisnerawards #SDCC
"Takei means happy and that's how I feel...thank you all very much. I feel very Takei." George Takai accepting for It Rhymes With Takei, Best Memoir. #EisnerAwards #SDCC
Saw my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He had a Chinese menu in his hand and was walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
Price gouging of food and drink around SDCC is out of control. I should know: I lived in the neighborhood for 15 years.
Need to start a petition for two SDCC improvements: - Taco trucks outside the convention center -Shaded walkway over the train tracks to 5th Ave
For those at SDCC this weekend, I drew today's exclusive USAGI YOJIMBO trading card! Visit mister Sakai's table, and there'll be a new card every day all weekend. Have fun out there!
Is it a good sign when folks refer to your government as a “regime”?

Hey I’m outside of Ohio so now my DMs work. Gotta love a consistent experience 🤨
I dug up some old toys yesterday. Supposedly these are hand-assembled prototypes that my dad worked on.
First flight already delayed and I haven’t left the house.
I wrote about being at the FIFA World Cup final and the entire sordid scene. I spoke to a few people who bought five-figure tickets. I tried to make sense of the senseless. @defector.com (This is a gift link, but you should subscribe to Defector, the rare outlet that would commission this.)
