Hi everybody— I’m a cartoonist who makes graphic novels about dead people, nerds, and dead nerds.
I enjoy unpopular pastimes such as font design, printmaking, yelling back at crows, being gay, and having children.
I once rescued a Pusheen from the mean streets of Portland.

Some friends I will have in Juneau this weekend thanks to the kind folks at saturnstickers.com, it is delightful to use local vendors to produce high key nonsense

My five year old has discovered my giant omnibus of New Yorker cartoons and insists I explain the jokes to her, which is like doing a round of Expert Panel with @davidmalki.com but with an aggressive countdown timer and a bucket of Nickelodeon slime wobbling over my head

Sure it’s great to have resources that delineate the unique calls and songs various birds make in the wild, but what’s still lacking is a formal classification of the embarrassingly specific sound effects I make in response to spotting them

Wild that people keep writing novels with the plot “married professor has disastrous but richly observed affair with student,” or “rich friends reunite in middle age after inciting event uncovers [manslaughter??].” I can’t imagine the chutzpah it takes to submit that manuscript in 2025

Just to give everybody fair warning, the 100th person to tell me “oh, I’m a terrible artist, I can’t even draw a stick figure!” WILL be thrown into a volcano. However I will not be disclosing what number we are at now

🧵I’m female and have a name which is traditionally used for boys and girls, but in the US is usually read as masculine. I was constantly assigned to boys’ cabins at summer camp, a male roommate in college, had to find subtle ways to slip third person references to myself in e-mails, etc.

If you belong to any religious organization, please contact leadership about this morally abhorrent update to the USAID story and demand a collective, public condemnation. Catholics especially should come down on Rubio like a ton of bricks.

The Trump Administration Said These Aid Programs Saved Lives. It Canceled Them Anyway.
The axing of some 10,000 programs has consigned untold numbers of children and refugees to death, officials say. Documents and interviews reveal that the State Department appears to have made the cuts...

So many parents fret to me about their kids always wanting to read Dav Pilkey books (because they're "not real books") assuming I will agree with them, and their expressions when I tell them I'm a children's author with a literature degree and I think they're sophisticated and brilliant 💩
