Of course, then I walked in carrying a Starbucks cup with its glowing green straw :O The whole graphic novel and comics scene is kind of foreign to me, but the self-publishing, DIY zine,… Read more »
I have some time on my hands, so here are some long overdue photos of things I’ve hyped recently. Crafty Bastards was a blast… no surprise there.
