This is very sad. Wondering how much of this has been exacerbated by the pandemic, with kids not being in school and taking the habit of using screens a lot more at a critical point in their life. Thankfully comics are here ti help: more and more kids are reading them.

Huge congratulations to @merrowchild and @sarahmaxwellart on the publication of PHANTOM HEARTS, the spooky, sapphic graphic novel of your dreams 💜. When a school bus crashes, killing the students on board, Malia and Keezy must work together to discover the truth.

(amazon EU still seem to sell the 2mm ones, but for how long ?). Staedtler UK actually DMed us straight away, apologising they had discontinued the line, but said they had some left kicking about in their office if we wanted them. Two days later (so just now) a box arrived

Something amazing happened! Monday morning we posted on Insta about our struggle to find Staedtler blue lead nibs in the UK. We had managed to get a few online, but it looked like after that there were none left anywhere online in the UK
