Hi new friends! We make comics, and for the last year we’ve been making a smart, hella gay romcom about weddings, crime, and how shitty rich people can be.
Check out the cover and full synopsis in the link, check the hashtag for a bunch of WIP stuff, and maybe give it a preorder?

I don't really do resolutions but this last year I decided that I wanted to do a 10-page chapter of a comic book every week on my Patreon -- patreon.com/matthewdowsmith -- and I did.
520+ pages.
Several graphic novels.
A handful of short stories.
And I'm pretty damn proud of that.

Remember!
You don't need to be the best writer or the best artist to create a story that resonates with people. All you need is hyper-fixation and a can-do-attitude!

Hey, person with autism here, no we fucking don't always default to literal interpretation, and even when we do that doesn't mean we feel the need to publicly announce it and argue about it.
Kind of sick of people using "autism" as an excuse to be unpleasant online.

And other people are just out of the loop and not understanding the references being made with these sorts of snarky posts.
Also, there’s a lot of autism online and we autists almost always default to literal interpretation of what we read or hear.
