We’ve brought on a Marketing Strategist to help with content planning and posting consistency. One of the challenges I keep running into is trying to balance creating comic books with everything else that comes with running Mushroom World as a studio. Making the comics is obviously the heart of all this, but even sharing the behind‑the‑scenes work; the events, the progress, the planning, the day‑to‑day, has become its own full‑time job.

It was my first time having my full table set up since probably the November First Fridays. I made sure to have my car packed before work so I could drive directly from there and set up as early as possible. Setting up still took some time, and the wind made everything difficult. At first I was nervous that I would not be able to put m
