@usdn-chairman.bsky.socialReposted by @smallpressexpo.bsky.socialPeter Bagge is LIVE.
40+ years with Fantagraphics. Hate. Indie comics. Making money at conventions. Kickstarter. Writer's block. Retirement.
And Sin City vs. 300, because apparently we had to argue. 😂
@smallpressexpo.bsky.socialOk, over the weekend we saw plenty of these (🌱) on tops of heads. Can someone explain what was going on? 🤔
@usdn-chairman.bsky.socialReposted by @smallpressexpo.bsky.socialOur first convention as credentialed press. ❤️
@smallpressexpo.bsky.social gave USDN our first look inside the indie comics community as press.
Every table represents somebody who created something.
Our first is in the books. It won't be our last.
