If anyone wants a read give me a shout

1941: FDR OFFICIALLY CLAPS BACK AGAINST HITLER.

SPOILER ALERT -- everyone in the Summer I Turned Pretty is a dream from Conrad's wristwatch.

#DontForgetYourBriefcase #2 by @eliotrahal.bsky.social & @phillipsevy.bsky.social Katrina Milfer accidentally winds up with the Atomic Football after the assassination. It was revealed that she is a Soviet agent. Col. Honken must find her before it's too late. Tongue in cheek spy story. Recommend.

The television show Arthur is actually set in hell.

Gonna frame this photo of Phil posing for... Research...

Art Process for DON'T FORGET YOUR BRIEFCASE #1 cover from @eliotrahal.bsky.social @madcavestudios.com & myself! Finished, inks, pencils, and photo reference. Issues 1 & 2 are out now! Reviewers/interviewers - I've got PDFs if you're interested in covering the series! Hit me up!

Love how liberals are like: "Why's he deploying the National Guard to police D.C.? Crime isn't even that bad there." And it's like, how baked do you have to be? It wouldn't matter if that shit were run by the Foot Clan, the Hand, & every Dick Tracy villain in the world—Soldiers aren't fucking cops.

"Klaatu barada nikto." THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL is, for my money, one of the most subversive films of all time. Anti-Empire. Anti-Nuclear War. How this thing got made during the heyday of the Hayes Code and the fever pitch of the Cold War is beyond me—it captured my imagination as a child.

The number of times I use "Well..." In a comic. Ugh.

Hey! Don't Forget Your Briefcase #2 is out TODAY! @eliotrahal.bsky.social and I (along with @wksahadewa.bsky.social & @gofrankgo.bsky.social) worked really hard on this book. Reviewers/Podcasters/Etc - wanna read it? Hit me up and I'll send you some PDFs! Would love more people to be aware of it!

Talking with Anton is always a joy. Always nice to meet a kindred spirit. Makes the world a little bit less lonely. Pick up Don't Forget Your Briefcase #2 — Out TODAY! (I'll probably keep posting about this in order to break the algorithm).

In this episode of Anton Talks @antonkromoff.com and @eliotrahal.bsky.social discuss life, death, and @madcavestudios.com's "Don't Forget Your Briefcase." Lots of laughs, profanity, and existential dread await you at the link >> tinyurl.com/z6z6jd3r

Longtime fan of both of these people. Gonna put this picture in my wallet and call them my sons.

#DontForgetYourBriefcase #1 by @eliotrahal.bsky.social & @phillipsevy.bsky.social. You get the history of the Atomic Football, the briefcase that allows the US President access to fire nuclear weapons. Good setup with a twist ending. Story reminds me of the book, The Mouse That Roared. Recommend.

Out today. My first Marvel Comics story. It feels very special that I got to do it with my friend @brianlevel.bsky.social. Even cooler to be featured alongside such incredible creators.

Don't Forget that Don't Forget Your Briefcase #1 is out today from @madcavestudios.com! A crazy little story about how accidentally losing your bags can kill everyone on the planet. Art by @phillipsevy.bsky.social. Colors by @wksahadewa.bsky.social. Letters by @gofrankgo.bsky.social.

Tomorrow also sees the release of Don't Forget Your Briefcase #1 - a the long-gestating project from @eliotrahal.bsky.social and I. Worked my butt off on this series alongside all my X-Men work. Can't wait for you to read this!

Legitimate question. I hear the refrain: The only way to defeat misinformation is to be relentless with the truth? But is that really true? I know a lot of people who are so baked that it doesn't matter. How do you defeat Neo Kayfabe in politics?

Our pals at @comictropes.bsky.social (#afterdark) posted their latest #IndieShowcase stream on YouTube. Featured for a segment there is @daniellobell.bsky.social's #FairEnough as well as our fake #chicktrack #lifesajoke (by @eliotrahal.bsky.social & @jkotz.bsky.social). Link in comments.

JUST finished drawing Don't Forget Your Briefcase. I drew the test pages in August 2022 and started on Issue 1 Feb 2023. Been working on it ever since all alongside Marvel work (and more). It's been an incredible undertaking and feels surreal to finish. @eliotrahal.bsky.social @madcavestudios.com

Voyager adult fan fiction, but every scene has Neelix, and you're actually in Hell.

swear to god, I'm going to do a very large crime if one more person calls me talented without giving me a fist full of money

New genre: Ugly fantasy. None of the characters are hot, and everyone talks about their vows. They still all have sex but are bad at it.

Love how George Clooney writes one letter and it takes down a President but I write 25 letters to the editor of Cat Fancy and they won't send me any of my children.

Starting to believe that these will start a revolution. @standuprecords.bsky.social

Well, Dragon’s Lair in Omaha couldn’t put out our #lifesajoke fake #chicktract (by @eliotrahal.bsky.social and @jkotz.bsky.social), so we left one in the traditional spot in their shop.

Counting this as a future book deal where @fantagraphics.bsky.social agrees to print and publish thousands of these while I distribute them secretly throughout America.

No idea how we missed this! The fine folks @fantagraphics.bsky.social (posted on FB) that we’d dropped off copies of our fake #chicktract, #lifesajoke (by @eliotrahal.bsky.social and @jkotz.bsky.social). Thanks, folks!

Can't wait for someone to tell me that NOW is the time to invest.

Phil's acting in this series is exquisite. There's a big shift from funny/absurd to sad/action, and he's able to ride that lightning like a true pro.

One of the best parts of working on Don't Forget Your Briefcase is getting to be looser, more cartoony, and expressive than normal. Issue 1 from @eliotrahal.bsky.social & @madcavestudios.com hitting in June!

Just remember that all the people doing bad stuff are deeply uncreative and can't imagine a world where they don't exist. We can.

Goals at 37 are to write/create an ongoing series and get on a gameshow to defile myself in front of the world so I can have a retirement plan

Val Kilmer was my uncle. One time he showed me how to tie sailor knots and read the stars in the desert. I took his hat. He thought he had lost it. It still smells like him. Rain and dust. Old cigarettes. I never told him. And I never knew he made movies. #RipHuckleberry
