Happy to report that I succeeded

2025 was one of the worst years I've had financially and professionally in many years. My teaching job vanished. Several expensive car problems. Barely drew any comics and barely got any freelance illustration work. Still struggling to find a new job. Still struggling to get books published.

There is much pain in the world but not in the Sabres 10 game win streak

Dallas only scored because UPL was still thinking about how bad that anthem singer was

I feel blessed: BOOBS MONEY JOB

This is a good read, it has me itching to rewatch all of the Kubrick movies 👀

Here it is: my annual re-posting of the only Christmas comic I will probably ever draw. Happy holidays to you and yours. I hope Santa brings us something really great this year, you know, maybe that thing we've all been hoping for.

Almost forgot to post this!

The Sabres are 9-3 since the first episode of Heated Rivalry dropped

sabres, many are saying

We report: it has stopped raining, and the sky has cleared out some, but it is not quite sunny yet. The humidity is still shimmering in the air, even though the wind is now coming in strong; it is cold like this. The clouds are being diluted into liquid shapes up there.

I love when I see "Larry Fishburne" in the credits

I turn into such a weird shriveled goblin freak in the winter

my great grandfather published a couple books of poetry and there have been a bunch of copies of this one on my dad's bookshelf for i think my whole life but i only just now read it...here's my favorite in the book.

I'll be doing a free comics-focused writing workshop for public school teachers at @justbuffalolit.bsky.social in February. So uh, if you're a public school teacher in Buffalo, this is for you!

Auughhh, we must be roughly 3 years away from a presidential election because this shit has ramped UP recently. I did not sign up for these email lists. I'm not even registered as a Democrat.

This one's been on my mind lately.

I'm listening to this Matt Groening interview and I'm delighted to hear him talk about how he had to walk to his first meeting with James L Brooks because his car had been towed and he was broke. They initially wouldn't let him on the lot where the meeting was happening because he didn't have a car.
