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?

Forgot to tag these with #WorstManOGN, because I’m a comics creator not a social media manager

You can push back – use our tool to see if your local trust is using the software, then send an email to say no to Palantir

Since New Years is coming up...

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.

The thing is that there is no element of my online credibility I would not burn if it guaranteed the success of this project. It has, without exaggeration, the potential to be the most important thing I've ever been a part of.

Please make ALL of the noise about it :)
