Last lunch in Bologna 🥲

Arrivederci Bologna Children's Book Fest! What a treat!!

If you’re not already reading @jesselonergan.bsky.social, fix that immediately.

Lonergan is one of the most formally inventive cartoonists working right now… someone who treats the comics page like a living, breathing system.

And through @bulgilhanpress.com's Faster and his own project Drome from @23rdstbooks.bsky.social, you can see the full scope of @jesselonergan.bsky.social's experimentation, pure comics thinking, stripped back and rebuilt into something new.

Cartoonist Studio Prize, Presented by the Center for Cartoon Studies

Studio Prize Shortlist Short-Form Testament— J. Marshall Smith (Bulgilhan Press) An android is sent to accompany a religious order on their one-way voyage to establish a scientific colony on a remote exoplanet. Armed only with his preprogrammed liturgical knowledge, his duties devolve into comforting the last surviving colonists as they face their impending end. Smith’s lengthiest and most narrative work to date is a powerful examination of mortality and humanity.

Thank you so much to the jurors of the Cartoonist Studio Prize for short-listing Testament by @jmarshallsmith.bsky.social!
