Yesterday I learned that I need to get my bottom canine teeth removed thanks to a case of internal resorption. I am, unsurprisingly, bummed out about this. This whole process began about a month ago when I was getting my regular dental checkup, which included updating several x-rays of my teeth. My dentist looked them … Continue reading “And Nothing But The Tooth”
One night, several weeks ago, I needed to find something new to watch with my 11-year-old son. There was nothing on our streaming services that caught his eye, so I chose something I liked from our physical media collection: Fist of the North Star. He loved it. As of this writing, we’re making our way … Continue reading “That Aged Poorly”
Thanks to maintaining a buffer of comics I’m in a place where I can take a week off from producing new pages and focus on other things. Normally this time is spent making new exclusive art for my Patreon or writing scripts for future pages, but this week is being spent catching up on the … Continue reading “Commission Catch-Up Week”
My first time exhibiting at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival was a blast. It was great to be surrounded by comics creators and a comics-hungry crowd. In an age of conventions that only partially feature our medium, it was nice to be part of a show that was all about comics. The staff took very … Continue reading “My Weekend at TCAF”
The week before a convention is always tight, between needing to make enough comics to cover my absence to preparing enough merchandise to cover my appearance at the show. Leading up to TCAF this weekend I was planning to take full advantage of every weekday. Instead, I volunteered at the last minute to help chaperone … Continue reading “The Field Trip Before TCAF”
I am beyond thrilled to be exhibiting at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival for the first time this weekend! In all of my twenty-plus years making webcomics I’ve never done a show in another country, so heading north to Canada will be an exciting first two decades in. For years I’ve heard nothing but good … Continue reading “Heading to TCAF”
This blog is, once again, regarding an experience with the Strength of Thousands adventure path and my character’s peril. It is not in regards to any brush with death I personally experienced. That being said, last week my Wizard died at the close of the climactic battle with the chapter’s Villain. My friends were able … Continue reading “The Overwhelming Emotions of a Brush with Death”
There are some people in the story of your life that you hope remember you as fondly as you remember them. There are some people who had a great impact on you at an important time in your life, and you wonder if you made an equal impression on them. I’d wondered that about someone … Continue reading “The Moment of an Unexpected Reunion”
I’ll start off by calming anyone’s worries based on the lengthy title of today’s blog by saying that this “brush with death” did not happen to me personally. It happened to a long-running character I’m playing with my friends in the Pathfinder Adventure Path, Strength of Thousands. With that being said, on to “my” brush … Continue reading “The Overwhelming Logistics Of A Brush With Death”
Last Sunday, on Mother’s Day, my present to my wife was doing the yard work projects she’d been meaning to do. My reward for my efforts has been a very, very nasty case of poison ivy rash that I am still dealing with over a week later. I am in itchy hell and the rash … Continue reading “Poison Ivy”
