The #kickstarter 100% totality of the Surgeon Turtle Island Cycle #graphicnovel paperback is wrapping up in about 48 hours and we're still a little short of funding. If you want in, now's the time. Tell yr friends n enemies. Link below #comics #makecomics #indiecomics #postapocalyptic #western

The Surgeon, Vol. 1, the complete 180+ page graphic novel, only has a couple more days left on #kickstarter and still hasn't quite funded. I'd love to see this thing finish strong! Rally 'round, y'all! Let's push this sucker up the hill. #comics #graphicnovel #postapocalyptic #western

OK. LET'S GO. The complete 6-issue arc of stubborn little #comics series, #TheSurgeon, is being released as the big-ass trade paperback it was always written to be. New reacharound cover by @meghanhetrick.bsky.social, behind-the-scenes documentation, fan art, alt covers, and all that. #kickstarter

I'll be WIDE AWAKE in no time for Day 3! It's been a really great con for vibes, hustle, and the filthy lucre! Excelsior. #indiecomics #makecomics #planetcomicon

I'm here. Booth 827. Where you at? #planetcomicon #indiecomics

Tabling at #planetcomicon this weekend, no. 827. Come say hi! #makecomics #indiecomics @lagunastudios.bsky.social

Yesterday's dust and wind. It was unpleasant

Single digits to snatchin skeeters out the air

Sci fi did not prepare me for the slouching-toward-Thunderdome fashion trend of everybody wearing neon hi-viz clothes

Waste from unpacking a grocery run, promoting/demoting leftovers, etc

Waste from a fritatta

in a couple weeks, i table at @planetcomicon.bsky.social and it's a weird feeling, kinda like coming out from under COVID again. lots has changed in the past year. i knew the people i'd likely run into at ATL, SC, Heroes, etc. who's in the midwest? or is this the west?

Waste from making a spinach lasagna, 2025. Mixed media.

Back alley snow melt #LFK

An hour of feel-bad jams I put together for y'all open.spotify.com/playlist/3Bh...

Yeah, okay, I hear you, but here's some jambalaya and collards.

Notice how many apps and subscriptions are updating their terms of service?

I guaran fucking tee you that the President of the United Fucking States and the Richest Man in the Fucking World have talked together about the chaos and uncertainty their bullshit would cause My Demographic and laughed. And that is not some Jello Biafra tinfoil hat paranoia.

oh. ok. or we could have taxed billionaires at about the same rate i'm taxed.

Well, hell, I got some exercise and had a bag of Haribo Golden Bears, so I reckon it ain't ALL gone to shit.

"Ok, but if you're going to buy Gaza, you gotta get rid of some-" "DON'T TELL ME TO SELL THE MOON AGAIN!"

So if you just say, "On Spotify, play some Lee 'Scratch' Perry," you might get 3 or 4 "Chase the Devil"s right in a row and I could easily go an hour more. Dunno about y'all, but I'm gonna put on an iron shirt and chase the Devil off-a the earth.

As one does, sitting on the couch eating a watermelon radish like an apple, the poor hound dog BEG-GING for it. I got to the fibrous part near the root and gave it to her. She didn't actually like it! Imagine that! Hound doesn't like radishes.

NEW BFF ALERT (2 of 2) - on the way out she accidentally hugged a guy at another table, forgetting where I sat, but then came over and gave me the REAL Grinch hug. But by then it had gotten awkward and she had to give Shelley and that other guy's wife a hug too. Best daggone hug in a while. NEW BFF.

NEW BFF ALERT ( 1 of 2)- on an impromptu date night, the little girl at the next table (who was 3, and wanted you to know) was stomping and growling and she snarled at me. I snarled back. She goes, "Are you a Grinch? 'Coz I'm a GRINCH," and I go, "Awww yeah," and we fist-bump.

Hi. How are we holding up mental-health-wise? I'm actually doing okay for this time of year. Holler.

molasses Bourbon or rye coffee milk or 1/2 n 1/2 it's extremely civilized

A little kid just gave me the most sincere, delighted look of awe for the skill with which I built my cone at the free soft-serve machine in Jason's Deli. #humblebrag #softserve

Taylor Sheridan has Jon Hamm unironically saying "ain't" four times in one minute (Landman).

sure, you know there/they're/their, but how are you with palate/pallet/palette? this language is like johnny cash's psychobilly cottonmouth cadillac.

that's what's up

Feeling cute, might dissolve into the cold swamp mud later, IDK

I started a new job recently. Today, I had to sit through some mental illness/substance abuse/suicide awareness training that was at once extremely boring and hella triggering (missing some friends here). So, bored, sad, bordering on anxiety attack, and this comes to check on me every few minutes.

Word up. Ow. It's the code word.

Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about hot peppers. Green chiles are my favorite. Second is Scotch bonnets. I like canned chipotles real well; however, jalapeños tear my guts up, way worse than other peppers that might be hotter.

I can't think of the last time I actively set out to listen to Outkast (probably cutting the grass 10 years ago or something), but dag gone, they were good.

New #thesurgeon miniseries coming next year from @lagunastudios.bsky.social, in its own time. Art here by Zoran Jovicic as new characters hear what Doc is up to in the distance. They don't like it. #makecomics #indiecomics #postapocalyptic #western #comicart

Helen of Wyndhorn! If I weren't in the comics game, I'd still want to know about this series from @darkhorsecomics.bsky.social.

I woulda picked Anthrax for AG. youtu.be/2Bu5mnE65I8?...

Dude, if T-dawg AND Jake Paul win? Y'all can HAVE this bullshit.

Can only go so wrong

i think the main thing i've become aware of since the election is how much i hate unsolicited advice. "Now's the time to organize and--" NO! "Don't give in to desp--" NO! "Focus on what you *can* contr--" NO! NO! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbzK...

never in my life have I experienced the porcelain of a sink breaking during normal use, but it has happened twice since August. so there's a data point for you

hey #booksky and #writers - anybody tried publishing something novel(la) length live, as it's written, on your #patreon or on a blog? i've made a living as an editor. i know it's super important. but what would it be like to fly by the seat of yr pants and publish NOW, live, no takesies-backsies?

Total mental paralysis, intimidated by the prospect of first post on new social media. Hi. It's me. www.garbagefactory.com Okay, got that over with.
