It took me a very long time to finally come around to reading Superman comics. That said, I will now scream this from the rooftops: Lois Lane is one of the all-time greatest characters in comics.

Public service announcement: yall can still back the Kickstarter. It’s over, but I’ve allowed for “Late Pledges” for some rewards. 🤘🤘 much apreeeeeeesh

And just like that… it’s over. We broke our previous backer record by almost 40 backers. We broke our funding record by almost $200. To all of you who supported and continue to support this project: thank you. It means the world. Now, onward to Issue 6. These woods are lovely, dark and deep…

4 hours left in our Kickstarter campaign. Issue 5 is finished. We broke our funding record. I feel like I’m going to die now. Thank you for your patience. *passes out from exhaustion and stress*

Kickstarter gods: we are two backers away from 150 backers and less than $1k away from breaking our all time funding record. Let’s goooooo. Indie Comic fans come thru! Algo, do your thing! 🤘🤘

One. More. Backer. Get us to 140 before the weekend is over!

I’m going to keep saying this: Now is the best time ever for comics. If you are even remotely interested, give it a shot. The “must reads” of yesteryear are fine. But go to your local comic shop and ask them for the best books that have been published over the last year. You’re in for a treat.

Whoa. We broke our previous backer record and we still have SIX days left in our campaign! If you’re looking for a supernatural adventure story that’s FULLY FUNDED, UNLOCKING STRETCH GOALS, and already a KICKSTARTER “PROJECT WE LOVE” then consider supporting the cause!

I am “hold up a piece of chocolate, take bite, and say ‘you know, this is a nice piece of chocolate’” years old today.

10 days left. $350 from our next stretch goal. Very close to breaking our previous backer-count record. Happy Monday. Let’s get after it.

An original art purchase on our Kickstarter unlocks the next stretch goal, and the money for the OA goes to our extremely talented artist Riccardo Cecchi. Somebody should make that happen 😎🤘.

🤘🤘

PROCTOR ISSUE 5 just got KICKSTARTER “Project We Love” status! Lets gooooo!!! Campaign is LIVE AND FUNDED! Let’s get after these stretch goals! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

We are ONE click away from beating our previous pre-launch subscriber number by FIFTY. It’s been an absolute war, but ONE click will get us to 176 pre-launch sign-ups. Who will be the one take us there!? What say you Comic Gods of the Internet!?

Pre-launch for PROCTOR issue 5 has been live for 3 days and we are already at 111 subs! Let’s gooooo! How fast can we get to 150!? Calling all fans old and new: SMASH THAT NOTIFY ME BUTTON!

We are at 94 pre-launch subscribers. Who is going to help us smash through 100 pre-subs before the day is out!?!? What say you!? Yall trying to support working class indie publishing or naw!?

PROCTOR Issue 5 Kickstarter Pre-Launch page is LIVE. Y’all know what to do: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

Well… in just 17 months, here we are. $50k in sales. Never in our wildest dreams… Much love to the team and everyone who has supported this project in one way or another. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Support indie comics. We are just getting warmed up. High Tide. Set Sail.

Sidestepping comics again to remind you that if you’re not heading to the beach screaming the lyrics to The Starting Lines’s “Saddest Girl Story,” you are missing out on one of life’s great joys. I’m talking to you, SDCC. Don’t waste the opportunity. Extra points if you have The Ataris on deck.

A message to the greater Philadelphia area: What do we need to do to get The Prize Fight back together?

Do you guys remember that time I packed 10 boxes to ship but then forgot to sign the books!? Remember how awesome it was when I had to open them all and sign them and re-pack them!? Do you!? I’m having a day. Send chipwiches.

This is your Monday morning reminder to support your local movie theater. Then, go watch a band play in a mutual hall or a dive bar. Thanks.

We are averaging 100 sales of our trade paperback every month since its release back in April. Never in our wildest dreams…

Interrupting your regularly scheduled comic book programming to scream from the mountain tops that the CHIPWICH is the single greatest packaged frozen desert treat of all time. If it ain’t CHIPWICH brand, I don’t have time for it.

I have to get better at updating this thing. Uh… we funded. 😎

One. More. Backer. And our record falls. Help us get to 127!

Three days. Can we break our previous record and get to 140 backers? Can we smash our next stretch goal at $6k? Let’s roll, folks! kck.st/43rnyEO

At 40 years old I feel the need to remind you all: going for a bike ride while the sun is shining, smashing through puddles, and making random sound effects while doing so still absolutely rips. 10/10. No notes.

Regardless of how well I do at cons, regardless of how well my previous Kickstarter campaigns do, will Week 2 of a comic campaign ever not feel like I’m getting repeatedly kicked in the teeth? Asking for a friend.

Hey there friends! Want to support some awesome indie comics? Here are three that are funding right now - check them out and give them some support! *Shares help too, even if you can’t back them financially. @www.altworldstudios.com @carmencostawrites.bsky.social @luisgodoyii.bsky.social

One. More. Backer. One more backer will break our Kickstarter Week 1 backer record!! Who will it be!?!? Then, it puts us about $650 away from full funding! Who is it gonna be!?!? Much love to everyone who has backed so far and helped to support working class publishing and indie comics! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Sometimes I’m just like… what would Chuck Ragan do? You know what I mean?

Website edits -> laundry -> Kickstarter fulfillment -> gym -> eating so much homemade gnocchi and Easter candy that I throw up at some point -> maybe a bike ride if I don’t throw up. Catch you on the flip side and happy Easter to those who celebrate 🤘🏼.

I think Taking Back Sunday’s “Cute Without the E” may have the best opening seconds of any song from that era. This is a reminder that I don’t just create comics. I also have fabulous taste in music and unresolved teen angst.

Holy smokes… as of Sunday, I can officially say this: I have independently sold OVER 1,000 copies of Issue 1 of my comic, PROCTOR. It’s taken me 16 months to make this happen but man… what a victory.

Give me the microphone. I’ll do it myself.

Aliens versus avengers. Hickman is in a class of his own. Holy smokes.

Ah, yes… Kickstarter butterflies… I know thee well. We go live at noon. This means: No sleep. An upset stomach. Exhaustion. Absolute panic. Brutal anxiety. Wish us luck!

Thus begins convention season. Almost one event, every other weekend, for the next 10 months. Comfort is the enemy. High tide. Set sail.

I had no intention of my short stories taking on lives of their own, and now I can’t stop writing them. It’s going to be a long year. But also - succubi loose in the pine barrens. What a bummer, am I right?

Can we all just agree that Fallout Boy’s Take This To Your Grave was one of the greatest records of 2003?

I spent all morning planning. This is the least sexy part about self-pub. However, we still did $30k in sales in a little over a year WITHOUT “NSFW” content. That is not an accident. We are a working class DIY publishing house with punk rock roots, and we are here to kick the industry in its teeth.

I do not post on here nearly enough. That said - how fantastic are these Daredevil trailers leading up to March 4th!?

Just go get Pho 🍜. It’s always the answer.

Few sounds are as adorable as a snoring French bulldog.

My wife while watching TV: Joseph Gordon-Levitt did not age well. Me: Uh. That’s Justin Long.

In powerlifting you learn a lot about big, heavy, slow, patient, uncomfortable movement. I think that’s one of the reasons why I’m so at ease on this comicbook journey. What’s a deadline when you’ve picked 3x your body weight off the floor? Stay up. ✌🏼✌🏼

Public service announcement: @thekylestarks.bsky.social puts on a writing clinic in Pine and Merrimac. It’s a PERFECT mini. Holy cow. Comics are amazing.

New Superman trailer. Holy smokes. Take my money.
