Please do yourself a favor and watch this. It's thoughtful, provocative and deeply relatable. I admire this series deeply and hope more people can make the time to experience it.

Here's all of peopleWatching in one YouTube video! I didn't realize we'd produced *5 hours* of this series, but we have, and that's pretty great. I'm so glad it's out there to show what independent shows can achieve. Watch here:

Vote for peopleWatching for the Webby Awards -- we're the ones up against Netflix *and* Disney, somehow, RIP, but it's honestly just cool to be there representing the independent arts, the finest place one can be.

SEASON FINALE-- watch the last episode of peopleWatching season 3, the happiest ending i could justify writing! Like any show, it's a miracle that ours exists to begin with and any episode could be the last ever, so thanks for watching this season and i hope it was alright!

Hey check out the episode of peopleWatching where the actor came out of retirement just to read my three-page monologues about how even though you're poor you still matter, set to multiple songs from the amazing YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN -- now on youtube, it's a banger:

Learn about autistic sensory issues, via a very amusing podcast! Then do me a favor and *never* walk around whistling, which sensorily disrupts whatever song is playing on a loop in my head and feels like THE END OF THE WORLD lol

Here's a comic i made once about communication differences-- when people have something to say but they live on others' terms. And sometimes what you create is your preferred voice. I'll always relate to this one.

Re-live peopleWatching Season 1 today, and receive the gift of being distracted from reality for like 75 minutes! Actually the show repeatedly refers to reality and how fucked we all are, but it's at least pretty funny..!

Been at this over 20 years, it's important you have your own site, I have seen publishers come and go, promises broken and sites burnt, others castles (sites) will sink and you will have to rebuild when they do. Only your own castle will last you a lifetime.

See the particular effectiveness (and courage) of organized nonviolent resistance with what's happening in Minnesota: *anyone* can participate, young and old alike, and so they do; worldwide media attention is gained; it's very clear who the antagonists are, so nobody watching can pretend otherwise.

It's just sad that one of the most historically successful cartoonists dies and all anyone can rightly feel is pity at life wasted in avarice and bigotry. Learn the lessons he didn't- don't get validation from money, don't stop being accountable, don't decide it's normal when nobody respects you.
