#MoreGovernmentNow

Inspired by recent events and my love of #KidLit I am organizing protests in front of bookstores across the nation to call for more awesome books about royal characters! Who is with me!?! #drseuss #sendak @BenHatke #thelittleprince #kingarthur

Playing around with an idea for another alphabet book I've wanted to do for some time. Also because alphabet books are easy to write as they are already 75% written for you, e.g. "A is for ___" Can you guess which letters these are for? #amdoodling #kidlit

Check out this month's edition of Member News! easternpennpoints.wordpress.com/2025/08/31/m... Featuring @heatherstigall7.bsky.social @fspoesy.bsky.social @annettewhipple.bsky.social and Hallee Adelman

Apparently it has been two years since I published A Child's Treasury of Four-Letter Words, which seems about right for an indolent hack such as myself. However, I did just publish The ABCs of Total World Domination, which puts a lie to the indolent part for a bit, I guess.

Thirteen years ago today, I thought I was funny.

The latest #MulberryAndBliss mini picture book has arrived! Saving most for the #PhillyComicsExpo in Oct., but some might show up in local independent bookstores soon. Drop me a line if you want one. Special thanks to @fireland and @sbritt_doodles for providing blurbs. #ampublishing #picturebook

Did you have to comfort the guy behind the counter? Because, that does seem a little hurtful.

Cover of Roy Lichtenstein's abc book by Bob Adelman showing a graphic depiction of a rising sun with the lower case letters "a", "b", and "c" in a banner across the cover.

A graphic depiction of a horse and rider in red, yellow, purple, and black from the book Roy Lichtenstein's abc.

I found this #RoyLichtenstein alphabet book at a resale shop and I thought all my illustrator friends would be happy to know that Roy was sh*t at drawing horses, too.

I don't know what all the fuss is about AI. It is just a tool. It has definitely helped me become more organized. Most recently it helped me get all my ducks in a row boat. #AIJokes

Kids today are so disrespectful! #amdoodling #popcorn

It is even more dramatic when the lawyer has spent the entire movie in a wheelchair. <Plot Twist!!!>

My grands are going to love this!!!

A wall of graphic penguins all looking straight ahead with wide open eyes except one that has angry eyes.

I fixed the "There's one in every crowd" penguins so you can see the angry one better. Not that anyone was asking for that.

Big green ball with googly eyes and fat yellowish thorns floating on a wavy blue background.

You might think this is a puffer fish but its green color tells us that it is in fact a Bloat Alien that inflates and quickly rolls away when frightened. #amdoodling #aliens

You should probably get this cute penguin coloring book! I already did.

A simple illustration of a group of black and white penguins that all look alike and have the same expression except for one who has angry eyes.

There's one in every crowd. #penguins #amdoodling

The common denominator in all these sites is the problem.

I'm guessing someone's had this idea before but I thought it and decided to doodle it up in the style of wearepretendfriends.com because I love their work. You should follow them if you don't already. #amdoodling #adobeillustrator

Band-Aids Marketing VP: We need to sell more product!!!

Band-Aids Marketing Intern: Oooh, I have an idea!

There's still time to get your copy of the Jockey Club punk rock flyer compilation "It's A Freak Show Ace!" from Aurore Press! Not sure how MS got our pic on the first page but I'm not complaining! aurore-press.square.site

Your frens and mine, Acetaminophren and Ibuprofren! #seniorfrens #frenship #amdoodling

Candy floss is having an identity crisis. Possibly took a bump to the head causing amnesia. #amdoodling #procreate #cottoncandy #kawaii

To illustrate how unorganized I am, I just realized that I am posting all my Mulberry & Bliss mini picture book posts on my Francis S. Poesy Substack site (francisspoesy.substack.com) and all my Francis S. Poesy (personal arty type posts) to mulberryandbliss.com. <shrug emoji>

Squidboy originated in MacPaint as the mascot of my newsletter, The Squid Report. MacPaint was the best, but Dark Castle certainly gave it a run for its money.

Why mini picture books? Are they a real solution or are they just looking for a problem?

I finally finished writing another Substack post about mini picture books. open.substack.com/pub/franciss...

Honk If You Want Me To Flip You The Bird!

I first read that as "It's okay to take one small nap at a time." And to be honest, I'm going with that as the affirmation.

Sometimes I just like to doodle the dumbest things I can think of based on Internet memes, so with that in mind, I present to you, Le Nœud Papillon Steve and Le Haricot Rouge Steve. #amdoodling #procreate #lepoissonsteve

"RANDY" is also somewhat problematic.
