Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Today marks six years since my friend Tom Spurgeon passed. Remembering his joyous love of comics today, his even fiercer love for the people he surrounded himself with, and wishing we had more time.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Fun story about this cover:
The face is actually a clay sculpture of the protagonist. Which I photographed and edited digitally. Super fun process.
The "clearwater" and "aaron losty" are a tracing of the Irish street sign font on tracing paper.
