He's twitching and cross-eyed, he's definitely in the throes of it.

Ruin a #Transformer 's name by changing one letter:

Skyparp

Poundwave

He usually forgoes even that, because he's often very angry about the adaptation

That was my reaction: Why the fuck you gotta come here!?

Awesome success on the Kickstarter, Dean! Hope these last 34 hours make it even bigger.

Only 34 hours left to back ANTIMATTER ~ a one-man comix anthology featuring BRAND NEW STORIES (40+ pages) of my personal pantheon of protagonists & paramours. Hurry before it's too late!

Podcasting is now twenty years old. And that means shows that ran for years are now just a bunch of URLs that resolve to nothing.

Sometimes, someone uploads a full set of mp3s to archive.org, and that’s great! But you can’t easily listen the same way as your other podcasts.

What if you could?

I had a wonderful time. My only sad point is I didn't have a lot of time to go around and see other tables. But overall it was a huge success for me.

Hope your brother enjoyed it as well!

My latest newsletter is a post-con report for #baltimorecomiccon and a small love note to Baltimore itself. Thank you to everyone who came to the table and listened to my pitch.

Comic creators, what is success for you?

For me, it's having built an audience that empowers me to tell a long-form story. By January we'll have completed the equivalent of 35 DM issues of the White Ash Saga. Not many indie series reach those #'s. And we're just getting started.
We're not alone...

I've said since I started that success for me would be to be able to keep making comics. I have a day job and likely always will, so as long as comics stays in "expensive hobby" and not "foolish expenditure" then I'm succeeding. My goals now are that my backers can pay less to keep me going

I have a number of B.Side Label stickers from my time in Japan and they make the best stuff. Now I've gotta try to get a bunch more next time I go...

@jimmygaspero.bsky.social how was the rest of your Con? It was great to meet you in Baltimore.

Ah you know, I'm a nice guy.

Kickstarter staff have been on strike for 21 days, in a bid to protect their working week and win a minimum salary.

These are small, reasonable asks for an outstanding team that have helped to bring countless new pieces of independent art into the world.

Sean, I never did make it over to your booth on Sunday. This would be a great time to post a link where I can buy the book.

ANTIMATTER A One-Man-thology of Dean Haspiel Deep Cuts

Check out ANTIMATTER by Dean Haspiel on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea...

Is that what you would consider to be the best park for fighting in the entire world?

Congratulations Wells!

Now. Best in IL, 100%. Best in the Midwest, yup. Best currently under siege? Yes. Best city with a blob of chrome, a cursed airport, with punishing windchill? Yes!

In the WORLD!? C'maaaaaaan.

ANTIMATTER A One-Man-thology of Dean Haspiel Deep Cuts

I just backed ANTIMATTER from @deanhaspiel.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea...

Dean was nice to me at @baltimorecomiccon.bsky.social and it doesn't hurt that he's got a classic art style for his books! Check him out!

An astonishingly large crowd!

I was right. Knew it all along.

He called his wife immediately and it was the cutest thing ever.

Here I am full of unearned confidence that my buddy was going to win. I knew basically none of the other candidates in any categories. Even the candidates I DID know, I didn't know their new books.

But dis guy? He's gonna win. I told him Kelly Thompson's win was just two letters from him winning.

Last night I went to the dinner and award ceremony with Ringo Award Nominee @wellsthomp.bsky.social

I'm happy for my LA born friends and simultaneously so incredibly salty that a team full of good players actually performed to their level of play instead of fumbling opportunity after opportunity to an early exit.

Oh man, I hope you find them. Would it be better to find all five this weekend or 4 of the last five so the next convention can be a truly epic hunt?

@benjaminharnett.com you must know this

A really good first day for me. No followers appeared but I hope to see some of you tomorrow.

Here we go! Entrants in 10 minutes. Come see me at G25 for @baltimorecomiccon.bsky.social

If you're a follower, I'll give you a free magnet 🙀
