If you think this looks awesome--and it does, it looks rad as hell--and you haven't seen Orlando, I beg you to watch it. An all-time great movie IMHO, one I will absolutely break a long run of not posting to evangelize about.
Oh I was NOT prepared for Hunter Schafer in Tilda Swinton's Orlando wardrobe today

I got to read an advanced PDF of this and it rules. "More Nunsploitation!!!" I scream, looking at the outline I did for a movie entitle Nun More Goth that I wrote after working with Kieron a decade go.

Tini and Jo made a rad book. Check it out.
Final order day for MARIAN HERETIC, Tini Howard and Jo Jaro’s medieval nunsploitation turning theology into KNEEOLOGY and PUNCHOLOGY (which doesn’t rhyme but Marian Heretic will not be confined by your petty rules). Talk to retailers !

ICYMI: A fundraiser for a great cause AND a sale!
One of my first big comics was Faith from Valiant, an Eisner-nominated book that was positive & inclusive. The Bloodshot news from last week was beyond disappointing.

So for one week, I'll donate all profits from Faith shop sales to Trans Lifeline. And take 15% off Valiant with the code "LIFELINE".

So my daughter is the face of a nationwide Congressional PSA on teenage mental health that launched today. She was chosen based on her advocacy stemming from our @imagecomics.com comic, A HAUNTED GIRL (co-created by her, me, & @marcolorenzana.bsky.social)!

Hey! L.A. folks! A reminder: WAITING FOR GAL GADOT, a play I wrote and am acting in, is up for 2 days only next week at the Pico. It is an extremely silly play that actually means the world to me, and I'd love to see you there!

I'm doing a play. That I wrote. July 18 & 19.

A writer & director sit in a movie star's waiting room.

And they wait.

And wait.

And wait.

Using Beckett's classic as a map, WAITING FOR [GAL] GADOT takes on the angst & absurdity of being human in 2025.

Y’all, I’m still struggling. I’m making half what I need for just my basic expenses. I postponed surgery that I was supposed to have on the 3rd because I’m still trying to scrape together rent for next month. I hate asking for help again, but if you got anything to spare, I could use the help.

This looks like a really fun, beautiful comic! Check it out!
