Special thanks to Executive Director Kelly Froh, to all who volunteered, tabled at or attended the Short Run Comix Festival in Seattle, WA. I had a magnificent time. Pic from the festival by Quinn Frances.

Here's my watercolor from the Chrysanthemum Under the Waves book launch hanging in the Marathon Art Show at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery in Seattle, WA.

Thank you to TCJ Editorial Coordinator, Kristy Valenti, for stopping my table at Short Run. She put my zine PRETZEL on her Top 10 List in The Comics Journal Yearbook, Best of 2023. Get your own PRETZEL at Staple + Stitch or on maggieumber.com.
