'School for Extraterrestrial Girls' is now available and it's been
made by some of our good friends, Jeremy Whitley and Jamie Noguchi!

together, making comics for kids (and adults), being dads, and just
catching up!

This year has caused a great deal of hardship, so we're suggesting
that anyone who'd like to grab some free books to donate to DC
non-profits like Bread For The City (breadforthecity.org), Casa Ruby
(casaruby.org), So Others Might Eat (https://www.some.org/), Capital
Area Food Bank (https://www.capitalareafoodbank.org/), or HIPS

www.fantomcomics.com by searching "FCBS" at the top of the page, with
minimum starting at $5 and no max threshold.
