I feel like @paulisci.bsky.social might have thought about this claim (& this headline)

Long ago, I somehow ended up on a mass email list w/ some critics & authors, including Jane Yolen. If asked about my "claim to fame," I still sometimes think "I was once on an email list w/ Jane Yolen!" To the young me, that proximity was a big deal! Her work was so important to me & so many others!
This week in The Drawing Book, my (free!) comics blog: When life throws you curve balls, keep a sketchbook journal!

Looking back on a comic I wrote about aging... when I was 29
Now that women no longer wear hats, we have no idea what the future holds.
My mother, the inimitable Jane Yolen passed away this morning after a blessingly short fight with Alzheimer’s. She did not suffer, and went peacefully into the ether which, I am certain for her, will be filled with words of the most exquisite beauty and meaning.

I doubt you'll see it since it was stored serviceable, but if you do see a bicycle with my name on it, TELL ME
