A follow up to the original Grief Butter comic.
It’s been a year since our friend Steve passed away. We miss him, and the grief is still there. We’ve folded new joys into our life, though it’s always a little sad he’s not here to share them with us. But, hey, we can hold both joy and sadness at the same time. We can feel complicated about it. That’s A-Okay.

Lucky 5th graders at PS 234 in Manhattan got to meet author @ohtruth for a second time! (They met Ruth as 1st graders with her picture book THANK YOU, NEIGHBOR!) Students enjoyed Ruth’s pitch-perfect presentation about her youth and the creation of her graphic memoir UPROOTED and loved connecting with her one-to-one during the book signing!
It’s a wrap on our 6th year of connecting six authors (one for each grade K-5th) to students at PS 234 with another incredible roster:
K: @armyvetfive author of FISH FRY FRIDAY
1: @emma.otheguy author of MARTINA HAS TOO MANY TIAS
2: @eric_velasquez_ author/illustrator of THE POLAR BEAR AND THE BALLERINA
3: @matthewburgessj author and @dougsalati illustrator of WORDS WITH WINGS AND MAGIC THINGS
4: @karinaisreadingandwriting author of THE VANDERBEEKERS OF 141ST STREET
5: Ruth Chan author/illustrator of UPROOTED
Looking forward to continuing our collaboration with Ruth and with PS 234!

🚨COVER REVEAL🚨 (and some sneak peeks)
@adamjayepstein and my new book is coming Oct 20, 2026! As if we planned it this way, the book is about the hottest animal right now, an axolotl.
Packed with funny animals and wildly detailed scenes, this laugh-out-loud picture book companion to Have You Seen Gordon? cleverly riffs on classic seek-and-find books with a main character who’s a little too good at hiding.
Pre-order is available wherever books are sold (but if you have the resources, pls try to avoid Amazon 😑)!

It was a doozy getting back home to NYC from Europe bc of the blizzard. Three days, three canceled flights, two reroutes, two missed flights and one missed train due to delays, but many wonderful little moments, and one spontaneously fabulous travel companion. The past few days got nothing on our 20 yrs of friendship, @bbalan4 !

Despite being deathly afraid of horses, I was brave and made a few paintings for the Annual Red Envelope show curated by @grumpybert. This year, the show will be at one of my favorite places, @pearlrivermart! Opening this Sat Feb 7 from 5pm-7pm. These and all other envelopes will be for sale at the show.

It didn’t feel like a very “productive” year for some reason, but now that I spent 2 hrs digging up photos, I see that it was! (Another post to be devoted to this skewed view & other topics covered in therapy this year, I guess.)
1. Got to take my daughter on the same cable car ride I went on 40 yrs ago at @hkoceanpark in Hong Kong.
2. Got to share Uprooted at my old school @gsishk in HK, on the very same steps featured in the book, with my best friends Bonnie and Claudia.
3. Went to see J-Hope live. 😬😉
4. Hung out with family in Florida, where our daughter proved to everyone she is indeed a beach babe.
5. Was the Dorothy Carter Writer-in-Residence at @bankstreetschoolforchildren, & the kids came up with some pretty epic memoir comics.
6. Gave the commencement speech (my first ever 🥴) at @parsons_illustration.
7. My mom and dad wrote me messages they always want me to remember so I got em tattooed on me. Thank you @heytattoonyc.
8. @dougsalati and I had an epically comical weekend upstate, & I taught a comic workshop at @themountlenox.
9. Got a new surfboard 😍 Thank you @glidesurfco & @lovemachine_surfboards.
10. Got last hour tix to see Oasis in Toronto with my brother @ahtoves and it was kind of the best spontaneous sibling bonding. 😭
11. Spent every day this summer on the beach. Our kid had the worst farmers tan despite so much sunblock.
12. Had an illustrator baby reunion in Maine with @peterbrownstudio @xfang_studio @briannehfarley & our three toddlers, who kissed each other & also ignored each other.
13-15. Went to Portugal w/@jeff_vreeland to visit @chanamanaman and @doctorlou, got a tattoo by @enkoveri, went surfing, then to Vienna for school visits, to see some art, & to Slovakia just because we could.
16. Won a Boston-Globe Horn Book Honor Award for Uprooted 😭😭😭
17. Uprooted also got into the @soi128 Original Art Show
18. My bb turned 2 🥹
19. We went to Newfoundland for Christmas, and I learned that a silver fox is not just a hot older man.
20. My now 2-yr-old drew a ‘sad piggie’, representing all the harder, softer corners of the year I’m clearly saving up to make comics about whenever I have the time to…
Happy New Year!

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
