That feels different enough to keep us from being sued, so, yes, that is precisely his name.

Printing proof for The Routine #3, an indie comic about how to survive the 9 to 5 grind, told from the perspective of henchmen.

The cover features a henchman holding a very prominent fast food mascot hostage.

Proofs for The Routine #3 are in and have been approved.

This issue came out most resplendent, if I may say so myself.

Check these LGBTQ+ Axolotl pins by @comicuno.bsky.social

As a bonus, you can get The Remainders #1 in the indie comics bundle... four indie comics for a buck. Not even Dollar General can compete with these prices

Sitting at the writing desk in soccer cleats so that I don't have the option of standing up, lest I should destroy my hardwood floors.

Mortimer Mouse (who is a dick) offering Mickey Mouse a handshake. 

Mortimer Mouse's  hips have a fairly severe pelvic tilt, which gives him the appearance of having some serious cake.

Mortimer Mouse (who is a dick) offering Mickey Mouse a handshake. Mortimer Mouse's hips have a fairly severe pelvic tilt, which gives him the appearance of having some serious cake.

Today, I learned that Walt Disney's original name for Mickey Mouse was Mortimer Mouse.

His wife told him to change it because it sounded "too sissy," but to my ear, Mortimer Mouse sounds metal as hell.

Later, a character named Mortimer Mouse was introduced as Mickey's rival (and he's a total dick)

Bought my cats their own private Costco.

Much like myself at Costco, they're refusing to go inside.

The Routine #1 is a part of the digital indie bundle... a crazy deal where you get a bunch of indie books for one (1) singular dollar. Check out the campaign!

Thanks for including us, Kat!

Just finished my grad school application. Put way more effort into that than was called for.

Now, to watch YouTube for 7 hours straight to "decompress" (detach from reality)

Looky what I found. It's... the Foolkiller!

A few pages in and I'm very much enjoying it already.

Thanks @maxriffner.bsky.social for identifying the panel and guiding me along on my search for the man who rolls around in garbage.

Almost 5pm now, but this morning, I was putting together my portfolio for grad school.

Lost so many files from my undergrad that sure would've made this a lot easier 🫠

As we put the finishing touches on the newest issue of The Routine and send it off to print, finished pages from The Remainders are sailing on in.

Pages flying this way and that.
