FANzine Live posted a Reel Short review of UP, calling it a "fantastic little minicomic, highly recommended"! This is the first endorsement of UP from a native Michigander, so it's especially nice to hear.
And speaking of Michiganders, I met up with fellow Ann Arborite Audrey Jarrett of Crablegs Comics yesterday to exchange zines and chat comics. Message or comment on their Instagram to get a copy of their new zine Energetic and Futch: Bike Messenger Comics 3. I enjoyed reading Audrey's vibrantly rendered observations of the pleasures and tribulations of navigating the uneven social strata of the University of Michigan campus as a bike messenger. They also have a zine-related advent calendar available, which you can learn more about on their Instagram.

UP and Nib Rot will soon be available at Gosh! Comics in London!
Also: The remaining stock of UP is running low. It won’t be reprinted, and after Dec 31 it won't be available through Rimki’s Big Cartel. I have a few copies set aside for future shows, but otherwise Gosh! Comics will be the only place to get it in 2026. Order soon if you want to get one!

RJ Casey at The Comics Journal reviewed Nib Rot n.1, focusing on the contributions of Paul Nudd ("Nudd’s work is like if the Chicago Imagists decided their chosen medium was going to be cat puke and hirsute scrotums.") and Ryan Edge. ("Edge lets the story breathe, sometimes telling the joke with his writing and other times with his thin-line scrawly cartooning and Twain caricatures.") Another good review!

UP received a good review from Comics Blogger over on Patreon! A few highlights: "Dense markmaking throughout gives the whole comic nice texture. ... A tourist plaque imbued with life and strong visuals. This is a well crafted autobio trip of a comic." Go check out today's reviews, and also pick up a copy of the new Comics Blogger n.14, which includes a publisher spotlight on Detroit's Diskette Press and a review of Nib Rot n.1!
