It’s here! MINNIE POUCHES IN THE MICROREALM is out from @topshelfcomix.bsky.social by me & the amazing @ericlide.com! Gotta thank best-editor-in-the-biz @rileysauruss.bsky.social for championing this book & helping us make it POWCH! Hope everybody loves it as much as we loved making it 🙌

Finishing the final issue of the first arc of what I hope becomes a regular series. Can’t say what it is yet, but it’s huge for me. Definitely in the same class as my biggest work. Really grateful to my friend @iamdavidbrothers.com for always looking out.

Getting bookstores to order your middle grade graphic novel is profoundly easier (and probably profoundly more impactful) than getting comic sites, social influencers, and YouTubers to mention it. Seriously, just send a human-written email with some quick facts.

One of the LA comic shops closest to where I live has these huge signings with more than 100 creators and I’m happy for everyone, but maybe happiest for me, as they have no idea who I am and have not invited me.

Stoked to talk about my next two comic projects. I can't even hint at what they are, because they're too easy to guess. No, it's not new Combo Man comics, which is a shame.

Biggest parenting difference between my wife and I is one of us chooses to effectively localize British kids book vocabulary and voices when we read to our toddler and one of us peforms wall-to-wall Dick Van Dyke-grade accents.

I got to write a story in this! Don't miss it.

Annual repost 🎃

Annual repost

Since Akuma's in it, the new Street Fighter movie is technically a TEKKEN film, meaning I'm obligated to tolerate that cinematic beard for at least one screening.

Those Mattel DC figures leaked faster than a LA apartment ceiling in a hurricane.

Reposting for Demon Week

F1 and IndyCar suck so bad this season I've turned to watching ants race in the gutter

Come see me tomorrow!

Played Comeback Kid for my toddler and now she keeps shouting “WAKE! UP! THE! DEAD!” I’m not sure what I’ve done to deserve the blessing of a born hardcore kid.

Los Angeles! I’ll be signing MINNIE POUCHES IN THE MICROREALM at both @comicbug locations this Saturday, 10/03! Love these shops. Bring your middle graders! See you there! 🙌👝 #graphicnovels #comicbooks #minniepouches @idwpublishing.com @topshelfcomix.bsky.social

You can trace Sesame Street’s gradual decline to its Netflix plateau to when they stopped regularly throwing the puppets.

Tapas shutting down is a drag. Had an awesome time doing Rest Area 51 there with @coleman-engle.bsky.social and it was an easy place to post my indie books. If you never have, go check out RA51 now! Hopefully it gets the print collection and cartoon it deserves someday tapas.io/series/rest-...

NARUTO's first chapter released 27 years ago on Sept. 21, 1999 🦊 Thank you Kishimoto Sensei for sharing your story of a fiery little ninja with big dreams of becoming Hokage. This series continues to inspire millions around the world

I’ve unsubscribed to every YouTube channel that’s used the slop engine to make thumbnails, ones I’ve followed for years, and I haven’t missed any of them. Like, at all. There are so many better ways to pass the time than maybe 90% of what we’ve gotten used to 🤷‍♂️

Got to see Transformers: The Movie in theaters last night with 14 other people who also burst out laughing (with love) when the narrator set the futuristic scene in… 2005

All this and still no Marvel Legends Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark wave.

Love it! Thanks so much for checking out Minnie Pouches!

Go see Eric (and get Minnie Pouches in the MicroRealm)!

My LA toddler woke up to today’s rain more excited than Christmas morning for puddles.

My only criticism of Gen Z is that there are too many Calebs. And yet, I feel less alone.

The letters that shall not be mentioned. ☠️ We couldn't of said it better than, Caleb Goellner. ART comes from the process of taking in the world and having an output. Make sure you've seen the newest episode of #CreatoxCreator, on all platforms now! #Art #Artist #Podcast #NOAI

I'm a longtime NPR supporter/fan, but over the past decade I have also come to understand some of its criticisms

I’ll say this for LA. More than six years in, not a soul has asked me “Hot enough for ya?”

X-Men ‘97 was good, but I’m disappointed that they didn’t express Nightcrawler’s powers with full visual authenticity as Gott intended

Come see us on Sunday in LA!

Watching my first live F1 GP of the year this weekend because Tsunoda is sitting in at Zandvoort.

Classic Rock Dad here, listening to the new Rufio EP

Loved being on the pod!

Got to table at Comiket 10 years ago. Gotta get back there before long. youtu.be/W5KxkcMZoVA

Had a blast working on this with @andykhouri.bsky.social, Omar Francia, and some of the coolest peers in comics. Hope everyone who hasn’t had a chance to check it yet has as much fun reading it as we had making it 🐢🐢🐢🐢🍕
