King Cockroach goes Country
A quick sketch of King Cockroach dressed up like a cowboy, soulfully playing his guitar and singing while sitting on a stool. The lyrics say "If my heart had an ass, I'd kick it for loving you."

Happy #IndieAniamtionDay. If you liked early-era Adult Swim you probably will like my show, King Cockroach Live! It's just like that except we do it live every Thursday night on twitch.tv/BossBugKC. Over 40 episodes and counting!

cartoon drawing of a girl and a robot in some kind of desert wasteland. The girl is very tan, sunscreen on her nose, wearing athletic clothes, and hairy legs. the robot is sitting on the ground fixing some kind of electronic with a screwdriver from his finger. His design makes it look like he is wearing headphones and shutter shades. Their colors are very bright and evoke the palette of highlighter markers.

I'm way late on this but Long Story Short on Netflix is fantastic. Slice of life animated adult comedy with great designs and a clever structure that spans across decades in one family's life.

We're doing a charity stream for CHIRLA tonight and I'll be donation-matching 50% to direct aid for LA street vendors. Spent a long time making this one unique and fun and weird. Hope to see you there! Twitch.tv/BossBugKC

Minutes after this photo was taken these anarchists began attacking a peaceful protest with horses, batons, and chemical weapons. I hope you can identify these agitators and find out who is paying them.

Just a few years ago an estimated 10,000 Angelenos marched through Hollywood for George Floyd and other victims of police violence. We could immediately shut down Trump's invasion of LA with this kind of energy.

See you in the streets.

We are playing Eathbound tonight with Andres Parada at twitch.tv/bossbugkc. This is more than your average twitch show, it's a hybrid improv/scripted indie animated late night show hosted by a final boss!

Waymo, welcome to the resistance.

A poster that says "King Cockroach Live! Wednesday March 19th 7 PM PST. With special guest Matt Apodaca. Twitch.tv/BossBugKC" There is a picture of King Cockroach. He is like if Bowser was a big cockroach instead of a turtle and had depression.

The first official King Cockroach livestream will be on Sunday February 16th which is also #IndieAnimationDay. But stay tuned because there will be a secret technical rehearsal later this week. It's improvised, so every stream is different!
A simple ad that says "King Cockroach x Twitch" along with the address "twitch.tv/bossbugkc". His scowling face is on the bottom of the ad. King Cockroach is a bug themed videogame villian.
