[Part 3/3⁣]
Just as a side note, as far as I know requests for Justin Chon to meet with Adam, amongst other demands regarding Blue Bayou that can be seen via @adoptees4justice, are still yet to be responded to. Also sorry for turning you all into little blob people, adoptee community. (Also also I was this > < close to including a real salty bit about seeing adoptees critical of the film being accused of being "boba liberals" on a certain Asian subreddit, but that's not for this comic.) ⁣

You ever felt so weird about doing straight promo

You ever felt so weird about doing straight promo posts that you waste hours making a comic to hide all the info in? It doesn't even make it any better, does it? I regret everything.
Anyhoo, get tix for @razeechapman's KBOX through @malthousetheatre! Follow @crewneckgreen who will be reading some excellent prose on the 9th, and @crocodilecowboy who made the sweet poster for Small Press Zine Fair! Also check out @smallpresszines for zine fair updates and a really cool post about the printing process for the posters. #comic #zines #theatre #timemanagement

Thanks so much for such an intense but gratifying

Thanks so much for such an intense but gratifying Sunday, @otherworldszinefair. Sweating behind a table while struggling to do basic maths to get people their change, before immediately spending all my money on other folks' stuff, is one of the things I missed the most in the last few years and it was so fucking good to be back at it. Big thanks to everyone who bought and traded with me too. The fundraiser zines raised $200 for Koroot (rounded up slightly, haha) which is also very cool, so double thank you for that 💕

I'll pop the rest up on my shop in the next little while (or you can just PayPal Koroot yourself at koroot11@gmail.com too) but until then I will be enjoying recovering. Wooo! Wooooooooooooo! #woooooooooooooooo #otherworldszinefair #😴

@muftidays drew him, @safdarnama n me all cute cos we'll be doing a panel about autobio comics, the cutest comic genre of all, at Addi Road Writers' Fest this weekend.
I am straight up shitting myself, but looking forward to seeing so many of the other talks too. So maybe it's not all bad. More info via @addiroad website.

Well carefully curated parental engagement with my feelings about adoption, emotions and fascination with poo, it was nice knowing you (maybe). #comic #drawing #diarycomic #himum? #andapologiesforpanel5whilewereatit

✨Recent things 2: It continues✨

The fine folks of @bombmag were kind enough to invite me to take up four pages of their latest issue with my work (thank you!!). My contribution is available to read on their site, but the hard copy is also very nice because it’s full of some really fantastic interviews and the page layouts and overall design are absolute *chef’s kiss*. It’s also big. Like, I’m pretty sure this is the biggest anything of mine’s ever been printed (potplants for scale).

It also gave me a chance to draw a neanderthal version of myself so that’s pretty sweet.

Ah, November’s coming to an end. Which means National Adoption Awareness Month is coming to an end. Which means I should probs mention that the recent comic about (surprise!) adoption I did for @thenib magazine is now up on their website. Which is what these excerpts are from if it wasn't obvious. Link in bio.

If you can’t be arsed reading it, here’s a summary: ⁣
⁣
🌠 No contact with Korean mum make Meg sad⁣
🌠 Many adoptees, very search for information about selves, much wow⁣
🌠 Hi, adoption as a practice is predicated on unequal interpersonal, societal, institutional, and international relationships ⁣
🌠 Sup, adoption also thrives on a culture secrecy and misinformation⁣
🌠 Well fuckedy doo, maybe it’ll go on forever, even!⁣
🌠 Closure, what closure? ⁣
⁣
Hire me to reduce YOUR future comics to dot points, folks! ⁣
