3MY Round-Up: Back On Board?
The Latest Round-Up From 3 Million Years
In The Beginning
Well, that past two weeks went fast! I am gradually catching up with my comics, and my read pile is getting gradually smaller. See the ‘Received’ section with what I have in my read pile.
I’m gearing up for my daughter’s 18th birthday as I write this, and there is still a lot to do! It never ends!
A highlight on The Butterscotch Tart issue of Custard is available to whet your appetite. And for subscribers, there is a special look at …And Then…?
I’m kind of thinking of getting back on my skateboard. The weather is dryer, so it’s a choice of getting on the longboard or my normal one. It can be good exercise too. Of course, if I report that I have a broken wrist next time, you will know what happened!
How have you all been?

Round-Up
I’ve been seeing a lot of the #ComicsBrokeMe trend on Twitter recently, and there are some terrible stories from those who really want to create something in a medium they love.
I offer a lot of support to these people, and I hope they get what they need to survive and create. Keep supporting indie comics and backing their crowd-funders!

Spotlight
There’s a new round-up of Refugees from TFTQ. There seems to be total radio silence from Frazer Brown/Red Cabin Comics. I am lucky to get a refund for the book, but wonder what happened to the money?
