I just think it's wild that the armed professionals who wander our streets are allowed to act in fear, but the untrained normal citizens are supposed to know exactly what to do under terrifying circumstances or die

Bari Weiss is innovating entire new dimensions of failure. She's failing in ways hitherto unconceived of. A pioneer of failology. A faileontologist. Whole career is a Fail Mary. She's beyond the fail. The Daily Fail. She's on the quest for the Holy Fail. Making tomato and Fail Salad.

Never before seen cover for the Snips a Bad Buzz Day volume 1 cover! We decided to go for the cover with no background but I still do like the background option. A perfect holiday gift for your graphic novel loving kiddo!

If I ever created a graphic novel for adult audiences it would be a surreal disjointed desert dirge.

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.
