The world needs literacy. As comic book artists, we saw a real need for programs promoting not only literacy but self-confidence and emotional intelligence through the power of creativity.

Free Comic Book Day is an amazing time for artists because it allows us to connect with the people that make what we do possible: readers and fans. This year, we'll be releasing our brand new comic "This, That, and The Other Thing" at libraries across the country to kids FOR FREE.

We use This, That, and The Other Thing to discuss aspects of storytelling as we not only draw but create stories with kids and teens. The Other Thing is the problem child. His compulsive need to cause chaos becomes the catalyst for the adventures in the story, each of them pushing the boundaries of the imagination.

We hope you enjoy reading these comics half as much as we did making them, because we had a ball! But we need YOUR help to bring these comics to kids across America. Every $2 donated is another comic in a kid's hand.

May 2026 will be a celebration of comics, art, and the people that make them possible. Join us in promoting creativity and literacy and let's give free comics to kids!
