This is a promotional graphic for an upcoming episode of the Editor’s Half Hour Podcast with a dark purple background and textured pattern of editorial marks. Set in a comic book style, the top includes a comic balloon with the text, “OMG! The Editor’s Half Hour Podcast will end with a …BANG!” There are six small comic pages to the right of this balloon that appear to be shuffled comic papers. The next comic balloon on the left-hand side, spoken by a woman cartoon figure with black hair and a red shirt that ends at the neck says, “Hey! It’s me, Nadia! Stay tuned for the season finale with expert editor Madeleine Vasaly to learn all about comic book style!” There is a smaller thought bubble that says, “Ugh! I forgot to tell them about my Patreon.” To the right of the graphic is a professional headshot of Madeleine Vasaly, who is a white woman with short, light auburn hair. To her left is an image of her book, “The Proofreader’s Guide to Comic Book Style.” Below the book cover, which is surrounded by teal burst accents to accentuate the cover in a comic-like style, is the caption, “This is the wonderful Madeleine Vasaly, author of The Proofreader’s Guide to Comic Book Style.” The bottom portion of the graphic includes a teal dot pattern with a teal bar with white text that states December 1, 2024. In very small type on the bottom left is the URL, piquepublishing.com/podcast. In the bottom center is a white comic burst behind the Pique Publishing logo, which is a white backwards-facing pilcrow in a teal rounded square box. On the bottom right is an Instagram handle @Editors_Half_Hour
🗯️ Holy punctuation, Batman! The Editor’s Half Hour season finale is here to save the day! Tune in on December 1 for an epic interview with @madeleinevasaly.com, author of "The Proofreader's Guide to Comic Book Style."
