Old timey candies in time for the holidays! From Archive.org, click for the whole book.
Hi it’s me BUB. This is me seeing far into the future, where we all enjoy this planet long after 12/21/12. Some may think that I’m just “cute”, but I’m also clairvoyant (and brilliant). I can also travel time, and I knew the Ancient Mayans quite well. This was just their idea of “funny”. Carry on earth people, carry on.
look I’m not going to tell you what to do with your life, but get on the LIL BUB train because do it

Cover Colors post #2!
Before we were sure of the cover of Hark! A Vagrant, it was just this sketch in my notebook. Scott Campbell took a look at it and suggested these beautiful combinations! He is my favorite/your favorite person and you should know where he is already:
Way back in 2011, I asked my esteemed pal and master of color Carly Monardo to help me with some examples of color for the cover of Hark! A Vagrant. Today I came across them again and was reminded of the kindness of my friend, who made time for this! Thank you Carly!
Carly can be found here, on
And she is, of course, one of the co-creators of Strong Female Characters, and was the one who designed this poster, which should be obvious because I can’t draw that well.

don’t you
(reblogged from Friday in case you missed it, because website updates are scarce these days! Don’t I know it.)
I made a comic that is about what a lot of people feel this time of year
let me model one of my shirts for you

is this prom all over again?? or am I dreaming???
It’s down to the holiday wire! Have you gotten things for everyone yet? Have you gotten something for YOURSELF? Have you considered… these things?
Head to Topatoco for these and more! So much more.
Today is the 1 year anniversary of me and Leslie getting married! Here’s a re-posting the wedding announcement comic that I did last year.
I think a lot about our wedding! We had only been engaged for two weeks so it was a very small city hall ceremony, attended by Leslie’s parents, my parents, and a handful of friends. We’re still so touched to have Annie Koyama and John Martz as our witnesses. Afterwards my dad took everyone out for lunch at our favourite Toronto restaurant.
The whole thing was the simplest, but from the day of the wedding through january was the happiest time of my life. Les and I were so happy during that time that it was nearly impossible to do anything other than squeeze each other, laugh, and cry. We were so happy it was impractical.
Marrying Leslie has to be the biggest and most surprising thing that’s ever happened in my life. Before we met I was hunkering down and getting ready for a lifetime by myself. I didn’t have much ambition, I felt a lot of shame, and didn’t have much hope for my future. Leslie totally scooped me up and saved me.
I love her so much. All I want is for us to get old and cozy together.
Steve and Leslie are great friends a wonderful pair. The wedding comic is adorable, and all will be right in the world when you read it. I miss these guys.
Take a look through Red Cap cards because they make some real beauties, by artists who may even be favorites of yours like Jon Klassen or Lizzy Stewart.
What was that at the top of their website? Cool.
Believe me when I say I don’t give a shit about this except for the fact that I don’t think a lot of people care where something comes from on the internet until they start making things themselves.
All I’m sayin’ is, you can’t have it both ways, baby!

How to go back in time and be this person is the question
I wrote a short essay for this month’s issue of Eighteen Bridges. Click on the screen-grab to read the whole thing. Eighteen Bridges is a Canadian literary magazine and a good one at that, please take the time to poke around some more and have a read.
Someday I’ll make a comic about Cape Breton drawn with my tears or something, you know how it is.
See Jane
