Comic books, manga, web comics, etc count as books as well. And so behold a very gay comic

I will say it's short but very sweet and honestly perfect. It has lesbians, girls, robots, girl kissing, girls who like each other, girls that like other girls, etc. You should tots read it cause like x nfkfkn3if it's awesome. Also, btw the story is amazing cause, yes, yuri is nice, but yuri with a nice story is very nice.

Just the day after Christmas…a kinder, gentler Holmes. The friendship between Watson and Holmes… “Sherlock Holmes and The Blue Carbuncle”.

Dramatized from the story by Conan Doyle.

Free to listen, on our YouTube Channel.

J. R. Lyston, who plays Watson in this radio play, passed away earlier in 2023. We have acted together, in audio, film, and theater, since he played Friar Lawrence to my Romeo in “Romeo and Juliet” in 1982. I miss him greatly.

We have two final J.R. Lyston performances to share with you in 2024. The first to be released is our adaptation of Eugene O’Neill’s “Anna Christie”. He plays Chris in that. The second is an original audio adventure called “The Sorcerers of Stonehenge School”. He plays the school’s headmaster in a delightful turn. That’ll be released later in the 2024.

I’ve loved working with John for 41 years. Completing and releasing these last performances in these two audio plays is important to me. An honor.

I hope that you enjoy them. We loved making these.

Pixels of You by Ananth Hirsh, Yuko Ota, J.R. Doyle (Artist)

A human and human-presenting AI slowly become friends—and maybe more—in this moving YA graphic novel

In a near future, augmentation and AI changed everything and nothing. Indira is a human girl who has been cybernetically augmented after a tragic accident, and Fawn is one of the first human-presenting AI. They have the same internship at a gallery, but neither thinks much of the other’s photography. But after a huge public blowout, their mentor gives them an ultimatum: work together on a project or leave her gallery forever. Grudgingly, the two begin to collaborate, and what comes out of it is astounding and revealing for both of them. Pixels of You is about the slow transformation of a rivalry to a friendship to something more as Indira and Fawn navigate each other, the world around them—and what it means to be an artist and a person.

Review: My journey to this graphic novel began years and years ago. In my college days, I was a huge fan of Yuko Ota and Ananth Hirsh's webcomic Johnny Wander, which was collected into a massive tome titled Our Cats Are More Famous Than Us: A Johnny Wander Collection. (And if you haven't checked out Johnny Wander, I highly recommend that you do -- it's a delightful slice of life, everyday webcomic that will bring a smile to your face.) So I've been following along for quite a while, and when I saw that these two amazing creators were teaming up with J.R. Doyle, another artist I love, I was over the moon. I've been pretty excited for Pixels of You, full disclosure.

I'm not entirely sure what I expected of Pixels of You, but what I got was quiet, thoughtful, and surprising. It's a moving meditation on AI, technology, art, and ethics while also being a visually rich story following a cybernetically augmented girl and a human-presenting AI who butt heads but must work together during their photography internship.

To be honest, I don't think Pixels of You was fully my cup of tea -- but that's a matter of personal preference when it comes to graphic novels. It's ultimately a thought-provoking and powerful read. What really gave the story direction for me was the chapter openers highlighting AI and technological dilemmas and events that rang a little too familiar. Especially with how much AI has been in the news lately, it really brought issues of ethics and technology to the forefront of my mind.

If you're looking for a gorgeous and thoughtful read, definitely check out Pixels of You -- it's definitely relevant to the times we're living in. I'm looking forward to whatever these creators work on next.

Recommendation: Get it soon or borrow it someday.
