- Incredibly sad to see the passing of Jules Feiffer one of greatest to ever do it. From ghosting golden age Eisner to redefining comic strips to the best children’s books of all time. Tabled at a con next to him once. Never been so intimidated to just say hi to the guy sitting next to me. A genius.

- Clayton is the best. Been working with him for a decade now. Can’t speak highly enough of his lettering skills. If you’re interested in that essential comic craft…
- I've started a free monthly newsletter! Yippee! On the first of the month, I'll be sharing tips, shoutouts, recommendations, Q&A, SFX of the month, a release schedule, and, of course, a cat photo. Here's the inaugural issue! buttondown.com/claytoncowle...
- Reposted by Tom KingSAGA OF THE SWAMP THING #24, script by Alan Moore, my pencils. Note that I'd so 'nailed' letterer John Costanza's sizing that I not only placed all balloons and captions, but I also roughed in Alan's script text. This guaranteed no lettering issues before John Totleben got the page for inking.
- That’s awesome and greatly appreciated. All of you who have been pushing this book I love, you all rock.
