Update for 7/22/25

New review today for Cities by Chris Auman! Also, “old man yells at clouds” rant incoming, so feel free to bow out now. I tried to order comics from several of the artists at CAKE (you remember, the show in Chicago I missed a few weeks back). And folks, it’s grim out there. No links to the creators on the CAKE website, which is a missed opportunity on their part, especially since several people share names with at least mildly famous people, so good luck finding their comics online. Then when I did manage to find the artist, over half of the ones I found didn’t have any link to buying physical copies of their books. Their choice, but I was desperate to give them money and couldn’t, so I guess the plan is working perfectly? Out of the ones that were left, one asked me to sign up for another subscription thing (nope, maxed out already), one only offered Paypal (even though mine seemed to be working fine, I’ll take the blame for my account not working properly with their website) and several didn’t have their latest comics listed and looked like their store hadn’t been updated in ages. Maybe everything is digital now and I’ve been left behind. I’ll get up to Quimby’s one of these days (after I find out what’s currently wrong with my car, which already ruined my plans last weekend), and I got frustrated and didn’t check every name on that list, but yikes. To the one person who read that whole thing, I apologize.
