I’m not really into awards, but I genuinely think Making Your First Comic has helped people start their comic journey.
Ringo Award nominations are open, and there’s actually a category it fits:
Best Comics-Related Publication

If you think it’s worthy, maybe nominate it?

In comics, even bathroom breaks have an audience.
I’m seriously thinking of spending a week end in Basilea to see it
NEAR DEATH by @jayfaerber.bsky.social and @guglie.bsky.social remains one of my favorite comics of the past 20 years.

Io sono facilmente riconoscibile: magro, pelatino con barba bianca 🙃
Picked up an original art page by one of my favorite artists, Gustavo Trigo, at Lucca Collezionando. Couldn’t be happier with this find — a real treasure for my collection!

I kicked off 2026 with one big goal: making my own comic.
I’ve drawn (and a bit written) before, but a 42‑page comic is a whole new challenge.
What’s keeping me on track is this awesome guide — which I now call “How to Make Comics the @mattgarvey1981.bsky.social Way!”
My personale homage to Sidney Poitier

What has been your headphone obsession lately? I’ve been so so stuck on PINKERTON by Weezer.
I finally found the time to read THE SKIM and I absolutely loved it — actually, even more than that! :-) It has all the ingredients I enjoy: a story that's really well written and illustrated in a kaleidoscopic way that grabs you from the very first panel all the way to the last one!!!!
Thanks my friend🍻
