#PortfolioDay? Hell yeah

I'm Jamil, a writer from Pittsburgh specializing in adventure fiction. I love me some antiheroes!

Since December, I've published eight short comics through the Western webcomic anthology All-True Outlaw (@alltrueoutlaw.bsky.social), with more to come!

Keep grinding. Stack good days. Don't beat yourself up over low-productivity patches.

I've been down on myself so, so many times for my output, but when I look over my shoulder I've self-published a bunch of comics I'm very proud of. I just never gave up, and neither should you✌️

Suffused in the glow of those days to come, I switched off the living room light, pitching the room to blackness and seeing, at last, that I cast no shadows in the dark.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights
A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..." More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!" A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

"The Good of Bad": two suddenly-flush brothers enter a California railroad town and into the maw of a scam artist.

In doing background on this story, I was fascinated by the prevalence of schemes and hoaxes in the 1800s (the Great Moon Hoax is a personal fave)

In "The Splendid Fleeing" we tried to give the reader a snapshot of that fun scumbag everybody knows, but in a pseudo-Western setting.

Lunar, Helena 154.
1: A sad Helena is sitting up in her bed in the middle of the night. She speaks toward the window „Do you ever get lonely up there?“ 2: A full moon, with a superhappy face. „Haha, me? There’s a lot of us, you know!““ 3: Diagram of lunar phases, all with the same superhappy face. The full moon is marked as ‚me‘. „And we all take turns! And have a big party!“ 4: A sad Helena draws the curtain on the full moon with the supperhappy face.

I need, much more often, to talk about comics in a way that expresses the joy making them gives me.

Because making them is a joy.

All this fuss." Two panels from Satterwhite & Fosgrove #5 Panel 1: Fosgrove continues to hold up the employee. Fosgrove: "CLOSE YOUR BONE BOX" Satterwhite: Excuse my partner, he's upset over a colleague's death. What's your name, friend? Panel 2: Employee: "...Travers."
