Published today! Spooky season is almost upon us, and what better way to enjoy it than with my new book with all those original, horrible endings to classic (and unknown) fairy tales?

Featuring incredible art by Neil Evans, it's available in bookstores worldwide and at your favorite online shop!

When mockery of the regime in power becomes β€œmainstream,” it’s generally symbolic of the end of the regime. Spitting images ( wax puppets) in the UK, almost single-handedly ended the careers of several British politicians, most notable being Thatcher. South Park deserves an Emmy .

I'm very happy to be able to announce that I recently finished writing work on an IP (i.e., official) book project for a rather small franchise you might have heard of. Coming next year, from a galaxy far, far away...

Siamese cat in deep sleep on a chair, next to Tim's book, Scary Book of Christmas Lore.

I talked with my editor at Cider Mill/Harper Collins a few days ago, and he told me that my Scary Book of Christmas Lore has sold over 50,000 copies!

WHAT? That's wild and I'm thrilled! Mizu was so shocked at the news that she fainted. Okay, she's a cat and can't read, but she's clearly excited!

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

It's a voter suppression act and you should be ashamed of yourself. I hope you get removed in the primaries, if there are even still elections in 2026.
