ACK! The shop’s €1000 annual insurance payment went through so instead of being part way to rent we’re back to the start again! Good grief! Now would be a great time to buy a subscription if you’ve been considering one for yourself or as a gift! littledeercomics.ie06 May 2026 12:00 +0000at://did:plc:qncpzay2wnfjqwinksofvfjf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml6npa3w5k25https://bsky.app/profile/littledeercomics.bsky.social/post/3ml6j62f46s25I heard someone was trying to sabotage Ireland’s energy future by suggesting an impossible boondoggle instead of already successful and in-progress solar and wind projects.06 May 2026 10:39 +0000at://did:plc:qncpzay2wnfjqwinksofvfjf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml6j62f46s25https://bsky.app/profile/littledeercomics.bsky.social/post/3ml4gkfr6m22gPardon the design tangent, but that large “When / Where” box at the bottom is Fantastic. We get a lot of posters on the shop’s community board and few are that clear and concise. It’s especially noticeable when I have to clean house and recycle old flyers and I’m left searching for dates.

That’s only 10-20 sales a day (depending if folks are buying a pencil or a hardcover art book) Thousands of graphic novels and hundreds of albums and films to browse in store and online! littledeercomics.ie05 May 2026 10:47 +0000at://did:plc:qncpzay2wnfjqwinksofvfjf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml3z4hhoj22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/littledeercomics.bsky.social/post/3mkztxwpczc2uClosed on Mondays but May rent is coming for us regardless! Even one online sale on a Monday goes a long way. Hard to overcome a zero on one of our remaining 7 days till rent. littledeercomics.ie04 May 2026 14:09 +0000at://did:plc:qncpzay2wnfjqwinksofvfjf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkztxwpczc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/littledeercomics.bsky.social/post/3mkxh3ex7zs2yNewsletter Away! I forgot to say the sooner I can get May rent sorted the sooner I can place orders on more weird and wonderful books! I've got multiple shopping carts waiting in the queue. https://mailchi.mp/4bb9bb2ce5ff/restocks-new-arrivals-at-little-deer-comics-1393450503 May 2026 15:13 +0000at://did:plc:qncpzay2wnfjqwinksofvfjf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkxh3ex7zs2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/littledeercomics.bsky.social/post/3mkxaxdgdb226New zines added to our Local Comic Creators shelf by @jeremyboyfriend.bsky.social now in stock online and in store03 May 2026 13:24 +0000at://did:plc:qncpzay2wnfjqwinksofvfjf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkxaxdgdb226https://bsky.app/profile/littledeercomics.bsky.social/post/3mkuxo7d52k2lAll the subscribers should have their books by now so I can share the picks for the April graphic novel subscriptions: @juliawertz.bsky.social Bury Me Already (It’s Nice Down Here) and @bensears.bsky.social Young Shadow and the Watchdogs!02 May 2026 15:32 +0000at://did:plc:qncpzay2wnfjqwinksofvfjf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkuxo7d52k2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/littledeercomics.bsky.social/post/3mkupm4a6j22iTime to spin the Rent-O-Meter! It could be months until the new shop is ready to move into (ESB hasn’t even connected the building yet) so we still need to pay rent here! 10 annual subscriptions would cover us! Or 100+ customers over the next 10 days!02 May 2026 13:08 +0000at://did:plc:qncpzay2wnfjqwinksofvfjf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkupm4a6j22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/littledeercomics.bsky.social/post/3mkuiw7qpjs2rI’ve heard today is a day to celebrate free comics! Little Deer does that a bit differently than the larger shops, firstly because we don’t use the same distros and secondly we’ve no budget (did you know Free Comic Book Day COSTS shops money? That’s looney tunes.)02 May 2026 11:08 +0000at://did:plc:qncpzay2wnfjqwinksofvfjf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkuiw7qpjs2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/littledeercomics.bsky.social/post/3mksprzguas2nThe lack of the Circular route was one of the reasons I couldn’t make the brief move to Inchicore work a few years ago. Couldn’t get back and forth quick enough without driving. The spokes-on-a-wheel transit design of Dublin is severely limiting!

I didn’t even realise. Here I was planning book orders and instead it’s 11 days until rent’s due! ACK Wish I could be making fun purchases instead but gotta stay open to eventually make fun purchases in the future! littledeercomics.ie01 May 2026 12:22 +0000at://did:plc:qncpzay2wnfjqwinksofvfjf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mks4ktc6xs2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/littledeercomics.bsky.social/post/3mks3pak7gc2xQuiet few days here, perhaps someone outside Stoneybatter wants to buy a comic? There’s 7 million people on this island after all! No way they’ve all read the latest Michael DeForge comic.01 May 2026 12:06 +0000at://did:plc:qncpzay2wnfjqwinksofvfjf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mks3pak7gc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/littledeercomics.bsky.social/post/3mkpzrbplak2xTesting something new! ROLLING subscriptions! I think I’ve figured out how to make Shopify charge monthly for comic subscriptions. The original 3,6,9,12 month subscriptions are a better deal, but people were asking me for an ongoing option! https://littledeercomics.ie/collections/gift-ideas30 Apr 2026 16:26 +0000at://did:plc:qncpzay2wnfjqwinksofvfjf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkpzrbplak2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/littledeercomics.bsky.social/post/3mkpfk3jiuk2aKiddo highlight! If you’d told me this was a reprint of a lost picture book from 1965 I’d believe you, which is about the highest compliment I can pay a picture book! Feels like it should have a “Reading Rainbow Book” sticker on it!
