Next weekend I’ll be returning to DragonCon in Atlanta alongside Garth. While our partnership in comics ended four years ago and we currently offer vastly different comics in vastly different styles, I still love sharing a table with him. The main reason is that he’s one of my dearest friends in the world and I … Continue reading “Super Polished To DIY”
On a whim, I bought a tarot card deck for my birthday back in July. Tarot is something I’ve been intrigued by for years but never took that first step to learning more about it. So, for my birthday, I finally decided to give it a try. Before I go any further, I should clarify … Continue reading “It’s All In The Cards”
My week alone has, so far, been lovely. I’ve gotten through most of my lingering commission list and spent some quality time relaxing in my house with no one but my elderly cats, who are grateful for the company. But I crossed an inevitable threshold earlier in the week than I anticipated. On Tuesday I … Continue reading “Crossing The Threshold”
It’s that time of year again. My wife and son are off to her family’s annual vacation spot and I have remained behind to watch over our house and our cats, and to catch up on work while they’re gone. Some might call my situation unfortunate, but I rather enjoy it. I obviously love my … Continue reading “My Annual Week Alone”
A part of me was a little worried when I posted yesterday’s comic, since it ended with Alchemist making a judgement about an entire group of people who are based (albeit loosely) on real world indigenous peoples. I hadn’t been worried in the days leading up to it now that I post completed pages ahead … Continue reading “Just Give It A Day”
With the death of my trusty laptop last month I needed to replace it. I was thinking of going with another laptop but at the last moment I thought of going with something I’d not considered in years. So, with some financial help from my family (and a big thank you to them) I settled … Continue reading “Shiny New Toy”
A political phenomenon has been happening these past few weeks that has both fascinated and amused me. Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, offhandedly said in an interview regarding the Republican presidential nominees, “These guys are just weird.” It stuck. It spread. These far-right assholes can’t stand it. And I love every second of it. … Continue reading “Those Guys Are Just Weird”
The day before I was to leave for ConnectiCon my cat barfed on my laptop. I discovered it moments before I was to log on to play my weekly TTRPG with my friends. The top was shut so most of the barf remained on the outside of the machine, but just enough seeped down the … Continue reading “RIP My Laptop”
My son has been going to a day camp during the weekdays these past few weeks and it’s been great. I have a workday over the summer and he gets some much-needed time away from home interacting with other kids his age while school is out. That’s been a challenge for us in the past … Continue reading “The Hitting Kid”
ConnectiCon was incredible. How that show manages to be as amazing as the previous year’s show time after time is a blessing I don’t care to question, and I will enjoy it for as long as that magic lasts. I have so many good memories from this past weekend. But there’s one memory among them … Continue reading “Either Body-Shamed or Flattered”
