A party wide enough for everyone in the car — that's the work worth doing.

Cartoon by @sticky_ickes | 4 of 4

"The hard work of transforming the party into a more inclusive one should be the work. Democrats like hard work and the first step is accepting that hard work isn't the easy path." (pg. 30)

Diapers or formula. It's not abstract for most families — it's the math at the checkout line.

Even a haircut can't fix that kind of disconnect.

Cartoon by @sticky_ickes | 2 of 4

"There is a rot at the core of our politics — a purposeful disconnect between the elite in this country and we the people..." (pg. 17)

Everyone at the bar has a different complaint — but nobody thinks anyone's actually hearing it.

Cartoon by @sticky_ickes | 1 of 4

"Are [Democrats] listening? Because if they say they're listening, it's almost as good as actually listening, right? As right as a company that has a poor safety record saying that safety is their number one concern." (pg. 30)

Yesterday I got to meet my friend @chrispiascik in person at the @marylandinstitutecollegeofart roadshow for the @iconconference! 🙌🏼 I started watching his videos in 2023 and have had the pleasure of meeting a ton of illustrator friends through his channel, plus learning from his amazing Fresco tutorials! GO CHECK HIM OUT this week! 🔥

Behold! Our haul from the Luna Moth Zine Fest 2026 @lunamothzinefest, now in its third year. Most of these were trades with fellow zinesters. I love Luna Moth! Of all the zine fests I've attended, this one feels the most community-run, by the zine enjoyers, for the zine enjoyers. Thank you to my friend @landrysesame for organizing. I met So Many great artists this year. I will do my best to tag everyone, but I'm sure I missed a few, so please forgive. To anyone who traded with me, thank you for reading Gromlin Zine!

Luna Moth Zine Fest is excited to share a new feature of this year’s event: a program!
The 2026 LMZF Program is both an event program and a zine!
Inside you will find:
- a table map to help you find your favorite zinesters
- interviews with @wrong_brain @this_might_hurt @sticky_ickes @leftovers11_ @cantocutie @fearnodecay
- shout out to our sponsors
- and a cool sign you can use to hype your zine haul on social media after the fest

And our interview with @sticky_ickes was so robust we couldn’t fit it in the zine! Go read it on our site! LINK IN BIO!

truly would not be possible without our amazing sponsors: @goosepoop207 @wrong_brain @bostoncomicarts @xomikbuk so thank you for believing in us and allowing us to grow as a festival!
