Very excited to see Grayson Bear's "Word From The Bird" nominated for a 2026 Studio Prize (short form nominees) by @cartoonstudies , especially amongst many other absolutely incredible comics. So happy with how this book turned out, so glad people out there are enjoying it. It was a joy to work on with Grayson who couldn't have been a better collaborator.

Me and @secretroompress got mugged after MOCCA lol welcome to New York guys ❤️ so grateful to everyone who came to the show and so grateful I didn’t get my shit rocked in front of my publisher! 😅 . [everyone is fine. We only lost 20 dollars. Please don’t comment “what happened”]

Frog Farm 11 is this Friday! We’ve been doing this show for almost three years now and it’s something really special If you haven’t been, Frog farm is basically a fucked up variety show mainly focused on artists reading their comics live. On top of that, it has an ongoing story that has blossomed into an endearingly overcomplicated epic involving frog spirits, cross-species pregnancy, spider wars, time travel, and much more It brings together an often isolated community of artists and freaks to share their work and connect with each other. It’s been the vessel for some of my best memories the past few years, and that’s thanks to the show’s creator/organizer Alex Laird, as well as the many others involved in making it happen Frog Farm is really something you have to see for yourself, so I hope you come! 🐸

Hourly comic day. Here’s one from a couple years ago, sort of my farewell to the whole thing. I think the hourly comic is a great practice but I’ve grown somewhat repulsed at the thought of making auto-bio. I could wax on about why, but there are already plenty of explanations for that in this comic

Egg gun was the best part of 2025 tbh
