Was so happy to bump into our Head of Indie Bookshops at Bloomsbury yesterday and hear how much booksellers are falling for Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village and then to see it for myself happily sitting by Hatchard's tills (next to George Orwell).

I actually want to scream. politico.com/news/2024/11/1…

I’m not here to fight about bathrooms. I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families.

Sarah McBride won this optics exchange. Nancy Mace looks absolutely unhinged to the average viewer, and Sarah just looks like a nice lady who cares about her constituents in Delaware. On to the next battle.

I've had a spot parked at Blue Sky for a while, even though I've posted just a little. I'm jaycooper and I'm over the toxic politics here in the land formerly know as twitter. Going to try to start posting fun work: process pieces, sketches, thought bubbles. Look me up, friends!

There's evidence of a furry squatter in our basement. Went to Home Depot yesterday and asked, "Excuse me. Where are your rodent traps? I have to get Thanksgiving dinner ready." Associate did a double take & cracked up. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

There should be a long German word for the feeling U have when you turn on the TV, immediately see the Rankin Bass logo that appears at the end of so many animated specials—U wonder what cool retro thing you just missed & you look at the cable menu & DAMN IT, IT WAS THE HOBBIT.

I'll have you know that an auditorium full of 4th and 5th graders today said I'm cooler than Taylor Swift. Not that it's a competition or anything.

Sorry, but I really hope people who love #thewildrobotmovie know it was inspired by my book. It's mentioned in the credits but most people don't read that stuff. If you love the movie you should check out the book! There's more to the story and it's a quick read. #thewildrobot

There's actually a whole trilogy of Wild Robot books, FYI. #TheWildRobot #books #childrensbooks

Been trying to tell your horror-obsessed bf or gf that Nosferatu ain't exactly your idea of holiday viewing pleasure? Well, it's your lucky day! Just print out this handy form and check the right box so they finally take the hint already! #Nosferatu #Nosferatu2024 #maybeferatu

I absolutely love this book from Maureen Johnson and Jay Cooper and Raven Books. It has cheered me up no end!

Considering that heaven is a fabulous gay nightclub, it’s probably for the best that Anita Bryant will be spending eternity elsewhere.

And I just received rejection #2. They have “a lot of admiration” for the book, but they don’t think they’re a good fit. Onward!

Keep on trucking!

If you are in LaGrange NY tomorrow, drop by the LaGrange Library for Take Your Child To The Library Day! I'll be drawing, and Diana Murray, author of Unicorn Day & Dinosaur Day, will be reading! (I gotta admit, she's more delightful than me by half.)

Check out the The Illustration Department's woefully wonderful podcast of Edward Gorey's 100th bday gala. There was a plenteousness of mink coats. Bat-themed turbans portended doom. Subscribe while you're there... ere you perish. #edwardgorey illustrationdept.com

Wow! Watch this.
