Announcing Neurodiversity Comic Con and a Shop on Ko-Fi!

Hello everyone, and I have an announcement to make. I will be attending Neurodiversity Comic Con, which will be hosted at the Gillen Brewer School on November 9 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.! If you’re in the Upper West Side, be sure to check it out to buy some products I will be selling!

Here is the description for Neurodiversity Comic Con below:

The Gillen Brewer School, serving students with a broad range of language-based learning disabilities since 1992, is thrilled to present a unique celebration where the world of comics and children's books embraces and showcases neurodiverse characters, authors, and artists. This inclusive event is designed for the whole family, featuring engaging panels, workshops, and meet-and-greets with creators. Enjoy a variety of activities, from cosplay to interactive exhibits and family-friendly entertainment. GBS Neurodiversity Comic Con is a vibrant space where everyone is welcome, and creativity knows no bounds. Come be part of a community that celebrates the diversity of minds! Together, We See the Possibilities. We hope to see you there!

Among the products I will be selling at Neurodiversity Comic Con is a print version of a Sammy Specific comic strip compilation titled Sammy Specific #1: Taking It Literally! Below are the front and back covers to the book:

Which brings me to my second announcement: I have officially launched a shop on Ko-Fi! You’ll be able to buy Sammy Specific #1: Taking It Literally on Ko-Fi shortly after Neurodiversity Comic Con, which will feature strips that have not yet been released online! This will be followed by the return of weekly strips on Naimoli Universe, Twitter and Threads!

But there's another product you can buy on Ko-Fi right now! You can still read the first chapter of Operation Awesome for free. However, Chapters Two through Ten can now be accessed by purchasing a link to a new page on Naimoli Universe where you can read the full story! The Operation Awesome page has been updated with a link to purchasing the subscription.

I know that this change may not be ideal to those that may have still been reading the book at the time the change was made. But realistically, Operation Awesome shouldn't have been able to be viewed in its entirety for free for this long to begin with. I do hope that this encourages people to purchase the link. Are you excited for the release of Sammy Specific #1: Taking It Literally? I hope to see you at Neurodiversity Comic Con!

Until then, stay enlightened, educated and entertained, folks!
