Had a fantastic chat tonight with @johnlees.bsky.social and @sallycantirino.bsky.social , some of the creative team behind the great new comic Orla! from @madcavestudios.com ! Look for it to drop next week on YT, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts!!!

I have loved all @sallycantirino.bsky.social’s covers for ORLA!, riffing on old romance comic covers. For ORLA! #5, our final issue, this Young Love remix gave us one of our best covers yet. I just wish we’d had room for a “Mauling Male” pun!

I know it's small potatoes in the grand scheme of things right now but I think the post office lost my jetpens order. It's been in the abyss for a week. Cmon man. I need that stuff for work :(

Orla#2 by @johnlees.bsky.social, @sallycantirino.bsky.social and @dearbhlala.bsky.social was so lovely!! Gwyn is so kind and charming, he seems like such a fun guy to be around with an infectious and cheeky good humor. I think Orla’s other self is getting jealous…and hungry! this series is so great!

Make a date with @madcavestudios.com ORLA! @johnlees.bsky.social makes the characters feel like REAL people. Artist @sallycantirino.bsky.social balances humour, romance & horror and the @dearbhlala.bsky.social colours are amazing in the nightclub! 10/10

Bog mummy take the wheel

So much pent-up creative energy, I'm ready to pitch like a madman if given the chance!

Everything is so stupid

Bringing this back because the problem with catching up on old bills...is the newer ones. Essentially, I've upped the goal to reflect about a month and a half of bills, which would get us to not behind. gofund.me/1eb4c013

I grew up playing on a beach that's now a superfund site because oops they dumped lots of heavy metal waste there when it was a manufacturing hub in the 1800-early 1900s and they playground equipment was painted with lead paint and made of old tires. You cannot get me to care about what's in a vax.

Got my flu and 'rona shots yesterday and the pharmacy gave me a free bag of popcorn hell yeah 💪

2/Orla!#1 by @johnlees.bsky.social, @sallycantirino.bsky.social @dearbhlala.bsky.social CATHARSIS. Orla dates the worst men she can find so she can feed the beast that's, literally, inside her. It's so real and accurately observed that it was an uncomfortable read at first, but the pay off? Mwah! 👌
