Familiarity, part 2! (Comic #770)
Posted on November 22, 2024 by liz

If this comic looks familiar, it’s because I’ve made comics on this topic before. And as this comic shows, familiarity is not a bad thing :-). https://www.thingswithout.com/comic/565-lifestyle-advice-from-a-small-pink-bunny/

Thanks to all my patrons and a special big extra thanks to Kate Webb, Erik Owomoyela, Stuart Barrow, Jesse the K, Brian Fies and Tracey Radford.

August 22 – Patreon Launch day

Posted on August 16, 2017 by liz
On August 22 I will launch my Patreon. I’m so excited about it. Patreon is a nifty place where folks like us can support creators we like
I’m excited about how it can be a central platform, bringing together stuff I do at Thingswithout.com, lizargall.com and in other places. I’ll do logistical updates here, but Patreon will be a fun place to share cool stuff, creative stuff and create a great space for you to give feedback.

Upcoming dates:

I drew a lot at Wiscon. On the last day, I photographed J, for she was so fabulous and definitely had a leader of the rebellion vibe. If you sign up to my mailing list in June I will put you in the draw to win a free sketch like this one or the other ones I did at Wiscon (their readings were so lovely). If you are already on my mailing list, tell me the name of someone who you got to join the mailing list in June and you will get two virtual tickets in the draw! So yes if you sign up this month AND get someone else to sign up you could get three virtual tickets or more!

Mayara responds to “Monster Girls Don’t Cry” over at Uncanny Magazine

Posted on February 12, 2017 by liz
Mayara, the tamarin the size of a tamarind seed, brings you her response to “Monster Girls Don’t Cry” by Merc Rustad over at Uncanny Magazine. Go check it out! “Monster Girls Don’t Cry” contained a lot of what I was soul food to me when I was teen, speculative fiction with enough teeth, hope and strength. It reminded me of what Merc has said about her mission and vision when she writes stories (you can read more about that from my interview with her over at Lightspeed for her story “Finding Home”). Don’t forget to sign up for our e-postcards if you would like to get interesting doodles, sketches and links that only subscribers receive!
