Must outline a new storyarc today--usually a lot of pacing on my part, but the cat wants to be held so instead I am stuck in my office chair silently contemplating new book while an orange purrbot dozes on top of me.

To him I am a food-dispensing ottoman, a talking cushion always at a toasty 98.5 F

"I GET ALL THE THINGS"
Trump during Florida Panthers celebration: "I heard they have a little surprise. Ooh, that looks nice. I hope it's the stick and not just the shirt. That stick looks beautiful. That looks beautiful. Maybe I get both, who the hells knows. I'm president, I'll just take them."

I missed this - Fred is leaning on what is (probably) our last physical copy of STUPERPOWERS!, the humor RPG we made with a bunch of our pals including @jamaligle.bsky.social and @steveellisart.com. People still play it!

Found this picture of me and @fredvanlente.bsky.social at our Artist Alley table at New York Comic-Con in 2012! There's a lot to unpack just from this one photo (and not just how young we looked). For one thing - this was taken on October 11th (a Thursday) WHERE ARE THE CROWDS?!

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Sharing for you who like process stuff:

I turned in my last script of 2025 (to @ryandunlavey.bsky.social) so now performing a 🎉NYE🎉 ritual I've been doing for about a decade or so.

Throughout the year I keep a log of what I've written on a regular wall calendar; then, on the year's last day 1/4
