Met so many people at this conference, both old hands and newbies like me, and it's true what they say: comics scholars are lovely! I'm really excited to keep learning from these guys and am feeling inspired to push on with my own project too - thanks #comicsforum23

A huge thanks to @ComicsForum and @ThoughtBubbleUK for organising such wonderful event on comics & thinking about comics! My first in-person presentation at a comics conference would not have been so encouraging without your support. Looking forward to more in the future! 🌟

@dc_manea @brookes_gareth @MJHibbett @Thmsgbhrt If you cannot draw, you edit and sample, experiment with materials and layout, but eventually you cannot escape making comics about your academic interests and commenting on events in comics form, says @ernestopriego at #comicsforum23
