Founder Comicpalooza. Now I write
and publish. Explorers of Rinth, Saga of Bjorn Unfrid by John Simons. Outfauxed by Corrie Peters.

If Donald Barthelme liked my writing when I was 21, why aren’t you reading my books now that I know what I’m doing?

Student no. One: You make me so mad!

Student no. Two: I wasn’t doing anything!

Student no. One: You were existing!

You know you’re a teacher when you look forward to jury duty because you get to sit in a courthouse all day catching up on grading.

In teaching how to judge credible vs not credible sources, I had my students create their own conspiracy theories. Theory #1

I’ve got a good friend who’s an artist, but I’m afraid to trust him; he’s sketchy.

I’m my mind I was creating a terrifying scarecrow, harbinger of the harvesting of souls. In real life he looks like his name is Bob and he’s pointing at a balloon in the sky.

It’s cool that Adam and Eve are still relevant in modern tech-based society. They were the first, after all, to disregard Apple terms and conditions.

I would suggest cats and maybe birds are fine too, but this is pretty accurate.

The family dog should always be consulted for approval before buying Halloween decorations, just to make sure any evil spirits are the artificial kind.

Corey Hart: You can never surrender.

Me: I’m not so sure about that any more.

Corey Hart: No, really. Never surrender!

Me: Have you ever tried to make it as an indie author?

Corey Hart:

Corey Hart: I can’t change those lyrics for you; I got a rep.

Student: Mr Simons, why do you hate the Great Gatsby?

Me: Gatsby is a stalker and that’s not reflective of the American experience.

That night: watches crime drama about a stalker, romcom preview where someone stalks his love, then sci-fi where AI stalks a human.

Me: I still hate Great Gatsby!

I shocked myself today by suddenly realizing that despite being Lutheran, my book “The Saga of Bjorn Unfrid” is probably going to vibe best with pagans.

I hate to admit this is right
I can’t find the lie in this.

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Me: Even book marketers and bots don’t see me. I’m the invisible man!

My wife: Why are you running around the neighborhood naked taunting people?

Our science literacy is so, so concerning low.

I did not know that cows’ genetic makeup contained the possibilities of making them flat and green.

A career change to rancher is suddenly much more interesting!
Somewhere, North Dakota: flat, green, cows. We passed the tiniest little white church with a bell in the steeple.
