I wanna take a sec to talk about Lucky Penny.
If you haven’t been lucky enough to have heard of Lucky Penny before now: it is my favorite graphic novel. It has been since junior year of High-school. I am now a senior in my final semester in college (and accounting for my Covid style gap year) Lucky Penny has been my #1 fave graphic novel for six years and counting.
It’s funny, it’s raunchy, the characters feel real, the story is well paced and takes some very fun and unexpected twists! However, the story and art aren’t the only reason I love Lucky Penny. I originally found Yuko Ota and Ananth Hirsh via their autobiographical book of daily life comics Johnny Wander: Our Cats Are More Famous Than Us, which I had picked up from the local library and was absolutely thrilled to find out was a webcomic that at the time was still actively updating. On their website (linked here!) you can actually read Lucky Penny and their Autobiographical comics completely for free as well as their current (still updating) work, Barbarous.
For me Lucky Penny acts as a bridge and a love letter to middle school me, who avidly read webcomics on solo hosting sights, many of which have been lost to time or have simply stopped updating. Self published webcomics outside of companies like Tapas (formerly Tapastic) and LINE Webtoon have ensured that solo host websites are far and few in between and routinely get looked over. Despite existing in the face of these big companies Johnny Wander lives on.
Lucky Penny is like warm soup. It’s comforting and every read feels different depending on where I am emotionally and just in my life in general. You can find Lucky Penny free to read on Johnny Wander here and even grab a physical copy for yourself here if you prefer paper. Updates on Yuko Ota and Ananth Hirsh’s current work and activities can be found on their respective tumblrs @aidosaur and @ananthhirsh
If you choose to read Lucky Penny I hope you love it. I’m sure you will. :)

Yo writeblr! Question:
In terms of teen/YA fiction, do we prefer public school or private school? What do you think are the pros and cons? Currently world building for my WIP and I'm trying to weigh which is the better choice. Personally I am leaning towards private school but I'm also worried it is an overused trope. Help me tip the scale!
Also, keep in mind that this isn't just a teen realistic fiction novel, there's supernatural/thriller elements as well. Feel free to comment and/or reblog.

New save file story
Aimi (left) was having fun at the new ice skating rink up at the Yukimatsu park with her bestie Trader(right). They just got off the ice rink and began to chat about their next activity when Aimi spotted someone in particular from the corner of her eye. Kiyoshi and Sydney were idly people watching when Kiyoshi noticed Aimi staring. He smiled but she quickly looked away, which caused him to grin to himself as he realized that what he was feeling wasn't just butterflies in his stomach...

last book read + last stethoscope used, part 3
Tumblr media
The stethoscope: Prestige medical sprague in hunter. AKA a mighty fine use of $20
The book: Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo. A Stonewall Award winning look at first love against the backdrop of 1950s San Francisco during the Red and Lavender Scares, from the perspective of a Chinese American teenager. This is my second Lo read and though I preferred the less-ambitious contemporary fiction, A Scatter of Light, this romance/history review was also exciting and fulfilling in its way.

hi, so I was wondering if there are any middle-grade adventure fantasy writers here on Tumblr? Like those who love to write (and read) about long lazy summer vacations, mysterious castles and ruins, dragons and treasure maps and things as such?

Are you looking for a teenfiction/young adult novel about about a boy trying to figure out if his simple feelings for his friend is just infatuation or more to look for but everything snowballs into something bigger?
Well I have just the book for you
"When things get hard you easily disassociate from your situation. You forget where you are or you wish you weren't where you are. Some things are easier to handle when you're hiding in your mind but when you start doing it too often people notice and when they notice they get concerned and when they get concerned they turn it into something big."
In a school for the elite where he is the smallest fish in the pond. Zayn is mentally forced to navigate his new found attraction to the same gender after an awkward situation between him and his bestfriend. Things get a bit harder when outside forces make things just a bit harder to deal with. Sometimes it's not so great to peak in highschool.

Annabelle Blake fully expects this school year to be the same as every other: same teachers, same classmates, same everything. So she’s elated to discover there’s a new kid in town. To Annabelle, Bailey is a breath of fresh air. She loves hearing about their life in Seattle, meeting their loquacious (and kinda corny) parents, and hanging out at their massive house. And it doesn’t hurt that Bailey has a cute smile, nice hands (how can someone even have nice hands?) and smells really good.
Suddenly sixth grade is anything but the same. And when her irascible father shares that he and Bailey have something big (and surprising) in common, Annabelle begins to see herself, and her family, in a whole new light. At the same time she starts to realize that her community, which she always thought of as home, might not be as welcoming as she had thought. Together Annabelle and Bailey discover how these categories that seem to mean so much— boy, girl, gay, straight— aren’t so clear-cut after all.
