This made my morning!

‘Babylon Cove’ caught our attention right away with its mix of romance, messy reunions, and a demonic twist. Read more on the blog 😈 @madcavestudios.com @plasticfarm.bsky.social @supajoe.bsky.social @marissadraws.bsky.social

Sometimes I’m a pretty good writer

This was so much fun. Check out me and @plasticfarm.bsky.social chatting with @jimmygaspero.bsky.social about our new @madcavestudios.com horror/romance book, BABYLON COVE!

Now on Youtube! Look at Joe and me and our pretty faces as we talk about horror and romance and comedy and making comics with friends. youtu.be/-KcwQAC5kyc?...

Even if contacting your representatives feels pointless (South Dakota resident here), take the time to voice your opinion and if you can, request a response. You deserve to at least hear them explain why they won't oppose the president threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.

Distract yourself from the horrors of reality by watching me and Joe talk about our horror-romcom series!

NERD INFERNO is out April 28th from @darkhorse.com. Posting something from the 648-page omnibus every day until then. Unless I screw it up and miss a day. Or eight. Today: You know it. You love/hate it. It's in the book. Once again..."Gotta Have My Batman". #NerdInferno #ItsAComicBook

Coming up on the show @jimmygaspero.bsky.social is chatting with @plasticfarm.bsky.social and @supajoe.bsky.social about their project Babylon Cove. I've seen a sneak peek of this Hallmark horror ©️ already and it's hilarious. Subscribe so you don't miss it www.youtube.com/@CryptidCrea...

Just do as many pages as you can. You don't have to show anyone the bad ones. Keep going. Just make more. Did you make a lot? Well, make more. You think you made enough? You did not not. Make more.

I love when the thumbnails align

Home again

I'm available to hire as an editor on Reedsy!

Do any of you out there work in prepress? Where are my fellow prep tech people? I need more peers who I can bounce esoteric questions off of.

In other news, Charles Ponzi denounces cryptocurrency as “some kind of a scheme, I don’t know if there’s a name for it”

Thanks for the shout-out Fangoria!

My love of baseball is being severely tested by having to watch it on Netflix. This production is painful.

By far one of the cooler cover effects I've ever worked on.

Hot take: If you're an Orioles fan but have never actually spent time in Baltimore City outside of Camden Yards, you really ought to change that

Got really excited over my new vacuum cleaner today but that doesn’t mean I’m not still punk, right?

As comic writers, we hold certain responsibilities to make the most of the storytelling tools at our disposal. For example, are you truly going to allow a kiss to pass as a silent panel when you have the chance to insert wet mouth sounds as dialogue and strive to make them as disgusting as possible?

Is The Good Place an Isekai?

Tied between "Loaded Weapon 1" and "Batman and Robin"

Had a dream the other night that I was in a restaurant where the menu was in another language. When the waitress brought my order it turned out that, instead of food, I'd accidentally ordered a @mikedawson.bsky.social drawing of a cartoon family eating dinner.

Ray-fur. And, southerners, please note that my name does not end with a D.

I’ve seen them all before, mostly when I was a kid, but I’ve been recently rewatching all the James Bonds in chronological order. I’m up to For Your Eyes Only and boy oh boy are these all generally terrible, repetitive, and stupid movies.

New Rafer Roberts comic getting announced soon. Feels like it's been a while.
