The Lowdown, the best show you're not watching, is coming back for Season Two

Peter Dinklage has a Brother Inferior patch on his jacket in an episode of The Lowdown. I once opened for Brother Inferior at a house show in Tulsa. Therefore, I am part of The Lowdown expanded universe.

This old-timer talking about societal collapse in 1950 sounds a lot like how I talk to the kids I work with today. From Fredric Brown's grisly (and hilarious!) masterpiece, HERE COMES A CANDLE.

Now that the end of Monster Park (Issue 1!) is within spitting distance, I'm turning my attention to What Comes Next™... 3 TALES OF WEIRD CRIME, written and illustrated by Yours Truly, a self-published zine you can all look forward to avoiding in the near future!

Hi! I wanted to mention The Barre Incidents could really use some online ratings/reviews if you’ve read it and have an account you post reviews on. Every little bit helps, I think!

I'm always looking for stuff about old-timey grave robbing. I'm always looking for stuff about old-timey crime in Topeka. Sometimes those interests converge.

Whitley Strieber has a vocal cameo in Onslaught. Everything else about the movie is a wild delight, but that's an exceptionally groovy selling point.

Here's a stack of all the stories I've written so far. Some published, some soon-to-be published, some just making the rounds. It ain't much, but I work slow, & I've only been at it a short time. Figure I've got 1, maybe 2 more in me before I finally start on this novel I've been outlining all year.

Wrapping up interior art for Grace Daly's "Escapist Fiction," knocking out album art for local hero Teri Quinn, trying to finish that 1st issue of Monster Park. Got 2 stories dropping next year (in Chthonic Matter & Illustrated Worlds), 2 more shortlisted pieces, & bits of a novel working. Naptime?

I sketched this on a napkin almost 20 years ago, added some old-time MS Paint text, and all these years later it's still Comedy Gold.

Folks are doing this whole "Introduce yourself with something that almost killed you" thing, but I don't know, "Numerous head injuries, a handful of IV drug overdoses, and an attempted stabbing" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
