Hi everyone!

I launched my Kickstarter campaign for A Great & Terrible today. I’m super excited (also terrified).

If you enjoy the #wizardofoz or frankly anything fantasy/adventure this might be for you! I hope you’ll back it, or give it a share.

Holy smokes, I’m exhausted.

Thanks for all the support ya’ll!

While I have my own stories I’ve wanted to make for a long time now, my priority is still helping others. One way or another, trying to lift up the rest of this community, as high as it can go.
Comic creators, what is success for you?

For me, it's having built an audience that empowers me to tell a long-form story. By January we'll have completed the equivalent of 35 DM issues of the White Ash Saga. Not many indie series reach those #'s. And we're just getting started.
We're not alone...

Freakin’ amazing piece of art by @mesiasart.bsky.social of Liz. I’m super appreciative of this opportunity I’ve gotten to work with such an awesome team to make AG&T a reality. ✌🏻💚

Ty Luke!! I’m gonna have to check this one out! 💚
A Great and Terrible #1 by @deadhours.bsky.social You know what I realized this reminds me of? American McGee's Alice! But better because it's Chris Benamati's Wizard of Oz!

I’m convinced that getting the word out on your campaign on social media is just completely broken.
October 23, 2025 at 1:50 PM
Seeing who backs your campaign, who doesn’t, and who does but then drops their pledge is wild work and I kind of hate that. I get that it’s analytics, but dang. 🫠

Anyways, we lost some backers, and if there is anyone out there that wants to support an #indiecomic based on the Wizard of Oz… hi 👋

Holy crap today has been insane.

That’s what I’m talkin’ about! @wellsthomp.bsky.social you’re a terrific person too!

Sometimes this #comics community feels broken and fractured beyond repair.

Let’s start this weekend saying something kind about someone, their work, and I’ll share it! Post it in the thread!

hello to all the new folks here! this is my entire deal. I pour all my energy and passion into making this comic and it would rule if you checked it out.
Happy #WebcomicDay!! I'm Kody and I make KEEPING TIME. It's a queer, slow burn, absolute bummer of a romantic drama between bandmates with a complicated history, set against the backdrop of the '00s. It updates Tuesdays!

Thanks Luke! 💚

Lost a backer last night and that’s super sad, but we’re still funded and can make it up!

If you pre-order my 30-page comic, and add-on a limited cover or print, I’m sending 15% back to the artist that created the piece as a bonus.

I hope you’ll jump on board and help me make more. 💚✌🏻
