As someone who has both swam long distances and spent plenty of time at the drawing table, I find the page painful!

This is YOU telling your comic shop to pre-order Toxic Crusaders #5 by me and @tristanwright.bsky.social on sale April 16. You're accosting the employee. They fear for their life. You will be arrested and arraigned on charges. I said to call or email!

Even if you planned a war with Iran entirely through ChatGPT it would probably tell you the Strait of Hormuz could be closed as a result. What are we even doing.

We're about four months away from an author staging their own kidnapping-for-crypto-ransom scheme to get pre-orders up.

I create an interstitial page for each Toxic Avenger comic in our Washington arc. Presidential memos, top secret documents, Executive Orders, pending legislation. They fill in key details to the story, so Fred can do a double page spread with a head being smashed or, often, melted.

Drawing Toxie with @mattbors.bsky.social and @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social was the best!

Billy Corgan is correct: the CIA intervened to end rock in the mid 90s. This was due to the Goo Goo Dolls playing at the MK Ultra offices. They mega-dosed test subjects DMX and Eminem as a result—and we thank them!

One thing I could do on twitter on any given day was search "bors before hoes" and find a bounty to retweet into my feed. Here I find nothing... I do mourn what has been lost.

Trump rides bomb like in Dr. Strangelove

A comic from 2017, which I promise seemed more original at the time, though I might have once imagined it wouldn't be as relevant for quite this long. One of among maybe three or four wordless one panel comics I made in 18 years of political cartooning.

For sure. My friend circle was obsessed with the movie. But he still creates an angry-man-cult through his alternate personality over a girl. Not a good roadmap. Real struggle for people because Tyler Durden *made some good points*

I also had to punch a friend in the face at a party who insisted he needed it to FEEL SOMETHING and I agreed on the grounds this was just a one-and-done punch thing. There was a lot of this happening between 17 year old boys at the time!
