It's been a wild journey getting to this point.

We started as an idea for an animated series over a decade ago, then reinvented it as a weekly webcomic.

Then when fans started demanding books, we made the leap to print!

Here we are on the cusp of print our fourth graphic novel...

Our last Kickstarter brought a whole 13 min animated short AND a cool spinoff anthology to life. You can watch the animated short on YouTube, and you can get the anthology as a backer reward with this KS!

Kamikaze: Before the Storm (Sci-Fi Graphic Novel) Get the exhilarating fourth graphic novel in the Kamikaze series! 120 pages of gravity-defying cyberpunky post-apocalyptic goodness.

Want to support the Kamikaze Vol. 4 Kickstarter, but haven't started reading yet?

You can get all four graphic novels plus digital rewards shipped anywhere in the US for $75 when you pick the "All the Graphic Novels" Pack. That's over 450 pages of full color indie scifi comics!

In my opinion these are the worst of the species. Just completely equating fundraising with passing legislation (which has not a snowball's chance in hell).

When Tinker Bell dies, it's going to be because you didn't clap (donate) hard enough.

"But really, how bad could it be?"

This are the ones which I forgot to delete from August 1st.

And if your thought is "Just unsubscribe." I have bad news for you.

They'll say you're unsubscribed then jist keep at it from a new number.

Same if you block the number.

For example, from yesterday (already deleted the ones from today in annoyance):

Passing thought.

Do non-US folks have any inkling the amount of genuinely gutter-quality "political cause" donation text messages USians are getting bombarded with?

This morning, plinking away at the synthesizer keyboard:

"Hey, that's a pretty little riff. It sounds familiar, though..."

Friends, it was the main riff to the Outer Wilds theme.

Doing hand drawn animation is just therapeutic for me, idk what to tell you.

Some people chain-somke when they're stressed. I chain-draw squiggly lines that make moving pictures.

Land sector ones

C: “burning biomass is carbon neutral because the plant already absorbed the carbon”
R: you just burned it though, which emits relative to not burning

C: “biogenic CO2 and methane are ‘better’ than fossil CO2 and methane”
R: these sources warm the climate just like fossil-based 1/

Gotta finish grinding out this comic page, so I can finish grinding out this rough animation, so that I can do more promo for this Kickstarter, so that-

Being a cyberpunk storyteller in the 2020's and checking the news be like:

Over here for about another month. Skål!

Kamikaze: Volume 4 Get the exhilarating fourth graphic novel in the Kamikaze series! 120 pages of gravity-defying cyberpunky post-apocalyptic goodness.

It also means that midnight here is 6pm on the East Coast. That's rough when you're pitching to geeks like me who tend to be night owls.

Not fantastic.

Anyways, check out our Kickstarter for our scifi comic book if you're up!

Running a Kickstarter with a predominantly US audience from the EU is a unique challenge, I'm finding.

Denmark is 6 hours ahead of the East Coast, and 9 ahead of the West Coast.

That means it's basically the afternoon before there's anyone in the States awake to jump up and down in front of.

Let’s support these amazing folks ! This ain’t easy yall 🫶🏾🫶🏾 and 40% funded !!

Help us bust through that 40% funded milestone tonight like this big bot Kool-Aid Man-ning this wall!

Fossil fuel. It's just weasel words for more fossil fuel.

The president calling for the prosecution of individuals & companies he doesn't like should immediately end a presidency like it would have for anyone before this One Special Boy

We've done A Lot Of Things with this project since we first started!

💯💯💯

Many ancient homes all over the world had no private kitchens/food prep spaces, period! Especially if you were poor!

This is why the discovery of a largely-intact "fast food" shopfront in Pompeii was such a huge deal, a few years ago. These places rarely survive the passage of time.

We're gonna climb this damn mountain!

NEW | Almost half of US states had 10%+ share of solar power in May 🇺🇸☀️

The latest US state electricity generation data for May 2025 reveals just how far solar has come:

California: 13% → 45%
Nevada: 6% → 39%
Texas: 0.1% → 12%
Florida: 0.2% → 12%

The most important story in the world right now.

Not only is it the 11th anniversary of the Kamikaze webcomic launch, it also happens to be my 40th birthday.

Go check out the thing I've spent my 30's building, maybe toss in a buck if you can!

Top U.N. Court Says Countries Must Act on Climate Change

The International Court of Justice said countries must protect people from climate change, an urgent, existential threat. Failure to act is an internationally wrongful act; environmental protection is key to human rights. Though non-binding, the opinion could impact global climate cases and talks.

We did need electricians when we were going to electrify everything. But now that they've gutted clean energy programs and with it those jobs....
