Stress eating my kid’s Easter candy and then telling him sometimes the bunny comes and takes some of it back.

I love responding to emails with a wall of florid text. If you want a turn-of-last-century-goosefeather-quill-pen-ass level penpal correspondence holler at your boy!

Petition we incorporate into The Hague, a badass-sounding but in reality laborious, lengthy, and unsatisfying legal process, to somehow include the Sarlacc Pit Monster.

Still zeroing in on the exact amount of money it takes for someone to lose their mind, heart, and soul. For a while I had I pegged somewhere just north of one million maybe 1.21 mil or so but then I found a $20 bill in the park and that experience is really messing with my data points…

No more new comics with “Void” in the title please, it’s getting confusing.

Without a doubt the orange VW Beetle because I'm 6'3" and one day it hit me how much I looked like the character "Very Tall Man" (when I had hair)

Waiting to check into a hotel for a work event and there is a dude here who is, I guess, proselytizing for Jesus but he’s just going on and on about now much sex he had and how much cocaine he used before he found god and I don’t think it’s having the effect he’s aiming for.

“Comics Will Break Your Heart” is peacetime talk.

Dude cramming a busted Citi bike on a crowded subway while trying to jam a broccoli pizza slice in his mouth is my favorite subgenre of New Yorker, what’s yours?

Keep the Devil in his hole. Make a comic today!

Struggling with the comics process/industry? Try this simple trick: Rather than a medium for self expression and discovery consider Comics a totally antagonistic force that must be fought with every breath. Every word written is a dagger in its heart. Every line drawn a nail in its coffin.

Sharing with you my newest vice, the concept of “Vorschadenfreude”: the enjoyment of someone else’s misfortune, before it has even occurred. I truly believe this to be the dominant psychological phenomenon of our times.

Making comics is too hip. We need to bring it back to being a thing you tell absolutely no one about except your one true love and it breaks her heart because now her father will never let you two be wed & you shoot him down in a dark alley on a stormy night and stow away to Van Diemen's land.

Last night before bed kid was stacking boxes, connected with string, camouflaged with blankets. I asked what he was building and without pausing his work he says, matter of factly “Leprechaun trap.” Couldn’t be a prouder dad 🥲

oh shit ides of march, time to post old fanart of Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo from HBO's Rome

Did the movie win the thing?

Would love to take a weeklong vacation just to catch up on fifteen years of Kiyoshi Kurosawa movies.

Basement cleanup uncovered these priceless treasures I can now bequeath upon my 5 year old like holy relics.

Comics pros. You only get to keep two. Which one goes? 1-Stealth sub-shitposting the Big Two 2-Posting about writing/drawing instead of actually writing/drawing 3-Author Photo with pens in between fingers like wolverine claws. (Expert mode: exaggerated arching one eyebrow like the the Rock.)

If we meet/hang out & I find out you use AI on purpose for any reason I will 100% attempt to stiff you with the bill & steal fries off your plate.

Literally all you need to do to win the AI wars is hold out a couple more years and steadfastly refuse to use it and everyone who does will become so shiny-domebrained they’ll fall over tying/velcro-ing their own shoes and then you can just run up and rob them.

Just ruined a teen’s day by complimenting their Hollow Knight hoodie ✌️

Happy international women’s day. Personally I think we should Purge-ify this holiday and allow women worldwide 24 hours to commit the following: 1-2 felonies 3-5 misdemeanors Unlimited infractions And free ice cream.

I must be getting old. I haven’t purchased Symphony of the Night for a new platform or console for like 3+ years.

Force draft Baron immediately.

KILLER NEWS! Happy Friday the 13th—now you can order LAKE YELLOWWOOD SLAUGHTER from the great NYC comic shop Forbidden Planet, signed by me! And if you're in New York, come to Forbidden Planet on Thurs. MARCH 5 (rescheduled) to say hi and I'll sign it in person www.fpnyc.com/lake-yelloww...

Cleansing your timeline with a compilation of full contact Karate from the 90s complete with a buildup to Swiss kyokushin legend Andy Hug who walks on like the final boss.

Noticing YouTube nudging my recs into garbage territory (video games, music, and fitness all algorithmic radicalization minefields) so I’m weaning myself off in favor of more audiobooks while I do chores, dishes, walk the dog etc Gotta protect that sliver of mental health. Next up:

When the tech bro feudalist fever dream of AI ushering in an era where all personal ownership is subsumed by digital subscription models for all media and services, inevitably crashes and burns 95% of all money on earth I’m gonna be sitting pretty with my five physical copies of Tenchu 3 on PS2.

Society would be infinitely improved if we gave adults the same freedom as children to randomly arrive at work, school, and social functions dressed in a full on Halloween costume a few times a month and no one bats an eye.

Running out the clock on 2025 with Children of Men.

Got my hands on this and cannot wait to read it. Apparently it was released with absolutely no fanfare, which is a crime, since I've heard that Garth allegedly says it's the best thing he's ever written, and you can see right on the cover that BKV says it's one of the best graphic novels ever…

Spending most of my daily allotment of “communicates with tempered rage” points on not filling my Senate Rep’s voicemail with expletives so just heads up anyone who has a work call with me today.

I have lost the key to cabinet I keep my Steamdeck in so I am 3 days into extreme Silksong withdrawal, meaning I’m much chiller, thumbs aren’t cramping in agony, and I’m using on average 85% less profanity.

Put a gun to my head and I couldn’t give you a compelling Batman pitch I’d want to write BUT can I interest you in a miniseries about one of his lesser-known villain’s called “Bookworm” whose superpower is he’s a nerd, who finds the Necronomicon in a vault beneath Gotham City?

My kid demanded a “Spooky Puppet Show” for bedtime so I’m sending Grover and Elmo into the House of Leaves. Your wish is my command, little man!

Read the original pitch of this project a ways back and every single page made say “woah” out loud. Absolute banger.

*moments after you’ve ask the hypnotist to help you stop thinking about making comics ever second of every day.

Evening stroll in the park. Guy on an electric unicycle and a helmet done up in Christmas lights zooms past a group of people huddled around a digital campfire. Someone turned the William Gibson Dial up to 11 I see.

My serious pitch for a big budget Warhammer 40K movie isn’t to try and do it “in universe” but as a high stakes political thriller set it in a near-future where ALL global conflict is resolved by nations fielding 20,000 point miniature armies and having it out.

Apply for a chance to hear me go on and on about BERSERK (and also make comics with us and stuff!)

Gonna pitch a Silksong licensed comics where you start reading and it’s great and then slowly the pages get progressively harder and harder to turn and you’re struggling and then a guy in a paper mache big costume just shows up and tries to keep you from reading it.

I’ve already beaten all the Silksong bosses that are getting nerfed via patch. I’ll continue to sit at the big boy table at the Real Gamers Bar.

Heading to the airport to fly to a comic con and I’m very excited for 10 uninterrupted hours in the sky to get some work done. 👌

*watching Alien Earth, Xenomorph plunges second mouth into a dude’s head sending gore and brains splattering all over, screams, cacophony Me: “Man, I haven’t seen Ice Age in like 20 years…”

Taking a personal day to spend with my kid. 10 min chatting with other dads on this playground and I’ve got one reconsidering Predator 2 and saying he’ll watch it tonight. Still got it!

After 30 plus years of typing on a computer daily I only just noticed which fingers I use on a keyboard: Left hand: index, middle, ring Right hand: index, pinky This is liable to drive me insane…

The Gang's All Here

Heading to the beach to pull a reverse Charles Atlas ad & kick sand at buffed-out beach bros to embarrass them in front of their dates.

I haven’t read any Marvel Aliens stuff but are they doing the Aliens 3 thing where a Xenomorph inherits certain genetic traits from the organism it chest burst from? Wolverine’s healing factor alone means he could survive multiple birthing cycles. Healing factor aliens? Game over man.
