seeing Distemper #1 on the shelves of my LCBS was a surreal, trippy, amazing experience.
Took me 50 years from starting to read to producing my first comic book, but this was a great day for me. I’m so glad my kids were there #distemperverse #comicbooks @bushell.bsky.social

I don’t know what I thought Dennis Hopeless and Brahm Revels’s #justbrutal was gonna be like but it was so much better than anything I had imagined.

I feel so invigorated. my first Kickstarter was a success, the digital copies are out to the backers and I just got some delightful feedback from a backer
hoping to get confirmation from the printer this week on the timeline for physical copy, and issue 2 is ready to go when fulfillment is done :)

I gotta stop leaving it so long between visits to my comic bookstore and this #NCBD was brutal.
I can’t wait to start reading this pile but it’s a little overwhelming. 
I think it can smell my fear. Wish me luck.

I can’t be the only one who gets these 6 digit authentication codes and thinks “713668? I could easily have guessed that!”
Or am I?

love my wife for picking me up these #fallout sodas but they have (legit) more sugar than corn syrup. That must be how it survives a nuclear war.

My 11 year old son just told me the dinner I made looks like it belongs in the Mos Eisley cantina. I think it was a compliment but not sure.

David Thorne (27bslash6.stuff) is absurdly funny. His books are such a rare treat. I am so, so glad I don't know him in real life, he would be a nightmare.

Candidly, it had never been a desire on intention of mine to smell like a #Cheeto but, well, here we are and I smell delicious.

What would you do if the world slowed down and then stopped? If the dog flu wiped out 90% of humanity inside of a year, where would you go? What would you do for food and safety?
