Hello, followers new & old. I'm Norm, and I tell adventure stories about talking animals, scary monsters, and sometimes even talking animals meeting scary monsters. I'm usually pretty social media averse, but I like the vibe developing around here. Maybe I'll try a little harder.

A new week, a new page at
www.ironbargecomic.com
In the outline phase, I plotted all the major story locations against the real Las Vegas. In scripting, I decided this detour had to be real, too, so I went back to the map to figure it out. Writing the scene was like living through the scene.

When

and I decided to make a sci-fi anthology about individual struggles against systemic forces, we didn't think it would be quite this relevant quite this quickly. Support independent art, and try to find a bit of hope and inspiration.

The new Covid shot is kicking my ass in a way the others did not. But I wanted to say, for anyone that wants it and thinks they can't get it, the process was: "The CDC recommends this only if you meet these conditions. Do you still want it?" "Yep." "Great! I just needed to hear you say it." JAB!

Absolutely one of the most exhausting things about this time is that we're constantly being forced to listen to deranged or uninformed or some combination of both fucking muppets, and they're in charge. Of a superpower. Like this is normal. Like, I hated Dick Cheney, but he wasn't *dumb*.
