- Today's the launch of the @PenguinClassics edition of To The Lighthouse--for which I drew the cover art. Very excited to be a contributor to this gorgeous series. I've written a little about my process here dykestowatchoutfor.com/deluxe-edition/

- I am so sad and stunned. Howard Cruse died suddenly today. He is one of the sweetest people I have ever encountered, period, and he was super generous to me when I was a young cartoonist coming to him for advice. What a blow. The world has lost a true comics superhero.
- Wow. Fun Home in Sri Lanka. Mind officially blown. Looks like a beautiful production. Wish I could have seen you all!The #FunHomeSL team. Grateful for the opportunity to stage @KronLisa and Tesori's beautiful adaptation of @AlisonBechdel's memoir. It's a testament to the genius of the writing and music that this story resonated with Sri Lankan audiences, worlds away from Pennsylvania. #FunHome
- I make a cameo appearance on The Simpsons tonight, on a Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con panel with Lisa, Marge, Roz Chast and Marjane Satrapi!
