- Reposted by Raina TelgemeierI like to close out my talks sometimes by trying to draw my least favorite things as quickly as possible (horse, hands, car 😒). A note arrived after one of these talks. I love it to bits. It’s going on a wall.

- Reposted by Raina TelgemeierAs someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.
- The Cartoonists Club is nominated for a Harvey Award!! @scottmccloud.bsky.social
- Along with five other amazing graphic novels. Not a bad one in the bunch. Congrats to everyone!
- Reposted by Raina Telgemeierthis thread (in response to colin kaepernick's "make comics with AI" venture) is just spot on. for extra context, great coverage from the beat and popverse last year: www.comicsbeat.com/colin-kaeper... www.thepopverse.com/comics-colin...
- i just did a workshop with kids about making comics. emphasized that ANYONE can make comics. you don't have to be a "good" artist. you find a story that matches your art style and you do it and it's awesome. and a kid who NEVER PARTICIPATES got out from under a desk and PARTICIPATED and had a blast.
- HARD CO-SIGN!!! Pencil, paper, done.

- So grateful my kids grew up reading books like these - it’s made them the empathetic and wonderful humans they are. Thank you @goraina.bsky.social
- More dates for The Cartoonists Club tour are live with ticket links! Come see @scottmccloud.bsky.social and I in Seattle, Vancouver, Los Angeles, and Santa Cruz in October! kids.scholastic.com/kid/books/bo...
- Reposted by Raina TelgemeierI launched my webcomic today! 🚀✨ VALOR is a sci-fi comic about a team of salvage operators who grapple with what it means to be human after discovering an illegal humanoid robot abandoned on a derelict transport ship. I'd be so delighted if you check it out!!! :3 valorbot.webcomic.ws
- Reposted by Raina Telgemeier🧵Loved The Cartoonists Club by @goraina.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social ! It’s a ‘how to’ disguised as fiction for kids. A love letter to making comics. The comics community is one of those where everyone involved is there because they truly love comics. This graphic novel… #KidsGN📚💬
- Reposted by Raina TelgemeierFrom Zine to Comics Queen! Raina Telgemeier's Origin Story Enjoy this interview with Raina from the archives! I position these episodes as evergreen, so you and your readers may learn about how their favorite book creators got their start! m.youtube.com/watch?v=4bsp...
- I aim to leave everyone in tears 😘
- I cried five times in @goraina.bsky.social’s Cartoonists Club panel. I’m so grateful that the next generation of cartoonists gets to grow up with Raina and @scottmccloud.bsky.social as their teachers!
- SDCC is in full swing. Here’s my schedule for today (Friday!)!
- Reposted by Raina TelgemeierI think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.
- SDCC! I have panels & signings Friday and Sunday. You can bring your own books from home, or purchase books on the spot from @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social! And yes, @scottmccloud.bsky.social and I are signing together both days, if you want an extra-special, dual-signed copy of Cartoonists Club.⭐️
- Love to spread the love about books we love! 📚
- Because my daughter adores the first 4 books on this panel of graphic novel memoirs in @scottmccloud.bsky.social and @goraina.bsky.social ‘s CARTOONISTS CLUB, she’s made it a goal to read the rest. (Minus THE TRYOUT & THE NEW GIRL, which she already loves.) ❤️ when good books boost other good books.
- Lucky folks who got an ARC might notice that this shelf changed a bit from pre-pub—we had a few YA titles originally, but the publisher wanted everything middle grade. The good news is, we got to feature more MG books we love. ☺️
- Reposted by Raina TelgemeierThis Prime Day (& every day): ➡️ Support the small businesses making a positive difference ➡️ Get book recs from people who actually read—not algorithms ➡️ Visit your indie, immerse yourself in books, maybe chat with real people, & leave feeling happy ➡️ Support your indie with audiobook purchases
- This was such a fun interview—we probably could’ve talked to @douglaswolk.bsky.social for hours!
- I got to talk to @scottmccloud.bsky.social and @goraina.bsky.social about The Cartoonists Club for Kirkus and they're kind of the best
- Oh! It’s cool that they localized the cover design of El Deafo! 🥰

- Yay ALA!!
- Y'all, @goraina.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social are coming to @libcomix.bsky.social Friday Forum tomorrow at #alaac25! Come say hi - these are our National Library Wrek Ambassadors after all! cdmcd.co/yKyda6
- Contingent on me getting to Philly, of course. I currently live at ORD. Pretty sure my fellow travelers and I are trapped in a middle grade novel.
- I missed my panel earlier today due to unending travel delays, but I’m here and will be at my signing at 6 pm at the Scholastic booth!!!

- Reposted by Raina TelgemeierThe “Magic of Comics” sequence in @goraina.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social’s Cartoonists Club (Scholastic, 2025) uses line connections to explain the implication of narrative from discrete comics panels: www.vaultofculture.com/vault/nst/20...
- Reposted by Raina TelgemeierIf you have a kid who loves comics, loves to draw, loves to tell stories, (or if You, an adult do too), run out and buy this book. It's an amazing font of wisdom, couched in a great story, made by two of the industries true icons. (And lovely human beings) There's only winning here.

- Reposted by Raina TelgemeierAs I’ve mentioned before, Gavin Newsom once tried to pick up my wife, and he’s basically Bill Paxton’s character in True Lies crossed with a beta version of Grok. That’s why it pains me so much to report that he’s been absolutely perfect the past 24 hours or so. Carry on, awful governor.
