Hey comics fam, if you read that NYT article that came out today about our industry ~dying~ across the board rn, please don& #39;t let it make you feel despair. It& #39;s just a short piece on how the pandemic has uniquely affected us; so it leaves out all the positive actions being taken.
It& #39;s like "niche markets for dummies" and explains the hit to our industry in fisher price terms so normies can understand what& #39;s happening to us. So keep ur heads up, nerds

You guys already know what I& #39;ve been up to throughout all this, and there are even more folks like @Doncates, @AshcanPress, and @GailSimone putting in the damn work every single day too.
There& #39;s so, so many more people I could tag who are just givin & #39;er all they& #39;ve got right now. I& #39;ve been seeing @Newsarama and @bleedingcool exhaustively reporting on this stuff for weeks -- every single action being taken to help lcs and the comics industry.
We& #39;ll get through this. We won& #39;t be the same on the other side of it, (nor SHOULD we be imo bc it wasn& #39;t working, clearly...) but comics will definitely get through this. You can& #39;t kill an artistic medium. You can, however, evolve its techniques and method of dissemination.
