Mindless action has never been my thing. If you read Pistol Shrimp, you’re going to get guns and fight scenes, for sure. But expect to find some real depth to these characters and stories. I want you to miss these characters when their stories end.

I only write stories I want to read. If I get bored while I’m writing something, I switch gears and write something else. That’s why I’m so proud of our comics. These are books I would read.

Making an effort to post here more often. I may not get as much engagement as on Twitter, but it at least doesn’t destroy all my hope for humanity when I use it.

Haha, you're right @charliemcfarland.bsky.social , drawing Pistol Shrimp has not only been fun, but also a lesson in anthropomorphic characters.
Ran by the comic shop today and picked up @luismorocho.bsky.social new Star Wars book! So proud of this guy! And I’m glad to see all of his practice with drawing sea creatures in Pistol Shrimp is paying off in this story! 😂

I need a Youngster (gen Z or Gen Alpha) to tweet this picture of Pistol Shrimp and say, like, “Yo, this is gas!” or something along those lines that your generation would say. Thanks.

I’m going to be a very hated man once more people discover Pistol Shrimp and find out how long they’ll be left on a cliffhanger between issues. 😑

Don't have the first issue or it's buried too deep in the pile but Pistol Shrimp #2 was a blast. Filled a Rango like void in my heart. @luismorocho.bsky.social art is incredible at sucking you into this western sea world @charliemcfarland.bsky.social wrote a super funny and engaging story

In case you’re wondering, there’s no AI involved in the writing process of my comics. The rough draft is about as rough as it can be. 🔫🦐

I firmly believe that if you just keep putting good work out into the world, people will eventually find it. Call me naive if you want. 😂

Never waste a character! If you have a character who only appears in one or two scenes, that’s no excuse to make them boring. Give them personality! How do they talk? What are they interested in? Do they have a sense of style? It doesn’t take much and it adds a ton!

My posts may not be as popular on Bluesky, but at least I’m not inundated with unwanted content 24/7. Just games, art, and comics.
