Hey β€” the So Buttons Kickstarter preview is live and already a Project We Love. Would love a follow if you have a second (and haven't already!). It really helps momentum.

Hi @chrisarrant.bsky.social, I just emailed you about my Eisner-nominated autobiographical comic So Buttons, but I wasn’t sure if I had the right address. Wanted to make sure it reached you. Thanks so much, Jonathan

You think you’re talking music.
Then Ian MacKaye casually drops a story about Saturday Night Live, Fear, and total on-air chaos.

I ended up in a green room with Ian MacKaye of Fugazi because my wife (@ophirae.bsky.social) hosted an NPR show.
That sentence still feels fake.

Kicking off a new story about my β€œSo Buttons Face,” the first-date scruff Ophira approved of, and the beaded shirt she definitely didn’t.
Honestly amazed I ever got a second date.

@seanfennessey.bsky.social Hey man, trying to find this channel on my Samsung TV Plus. I updated my Samsung this morning, but couldn't find the channel? Has it premiered yet? Does it have a channel number or is it more like an app?

Nice! Yeah it was really cool to hear Ian tell me that story. I think the version that he told my wife for her radio show exists out there on YouTube.
