I have officially finished See You In Hell . I’ve actually been done for awhile now. I’ve been taking the opportunity to work on my website, change my newsletter provider, and to retool my Patreon. It’s hard to pay attention to all the balls you need to juggle as an...
I’m turning 49. I’m winding down my current graphic novel, preparing a new one, and working out a new strip. A Sunday strip. Because that makes so much sense in 2026. I’m going to use traditional tools for it also. Let’s lean into the...
