Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com (THIS PAGE: You Know Me Better Than That)
PANEL 1: LARGE PRIMO and SQUAT PRIMO stand behind CAYETANO, who looks at them over his shoulder.
LARGE PRIMO: Caye, are the Nyx safe?
SQUAT PRIMO (“PORTHOS”): Your troops aren’t HURTING THEM, right?
CAYETANO: Dammit Porthos, you know me better than that.

PANEL 2: CAYETANO turns to the TALL PRIMO.
CAYETANO: Not a hair on their hides will be touched in my care. I’m not Ramiro for God’s sake.
TALL PRIMO: Well…then thank you. I… we’re just worried for them.

PANEL 3: Close up on CAYETANO.
CAYETANO: You SHOULD be worried for them. They caused the death of more humans than the Tesskan war.

PANEL 4: CAYETANO glances over at TALL PRIMO.
CAYETANO: But I’ll keep them safe ’til their day in court. JUST LIKE I WILL FOR YOU.
TALL PRIMO: Same ol’ Caye. Always gotta be the big man.

PANEL 5: Intensely close on CAYETANO, as seen from over TALL PRIMO’s shoulder.
CAYETANO: You stole a ring ship, you idiot! You stole MULTIPLE ring ships! I as fine with your little crusade until that nonsense.
TALL PRIMO: You could’ve come with us, you know. THAT DAY.

PANEL 6: CAYETANO holds up with hands during his sarcastic response. TALL PRIMO angrily pokes CAYETANO’s arm.
CAYETANO: Oh and what a noble life I missed! On the run for decades…pooping in ditches on backwater planets.
TALL PRIMO: Hey! HEY!

PANEL 7: CAYETANO stops, as TALL PRIMO makes a joke.
TALL PRIMO: …some of them were nice ditches.

Last month we passed a milestone without my realizing: I have now done over ONE THOUSAND STRIPS since I took over FLASH GORDON in 2023. I cannot thank you all enough for reading, discussing, and sharing the comic these past few years. Truly the best gig I've ever had. Much, much more to come ⚡
Unused promo art of the cast of my run on the FLASH GORDON daily strip. Clockwise from top left: Adrane, Flash Gordon, Doctor Hans Zarkov, Bok, Empress Aura, Dale Arden, and Queen Fria. We also see Sky City and a couple Frigian airships.

A limerick. Based on a true story.
A drawing of my as my little troll avatar, working on comics at my desk. The limerick reads "There once was a man who drew comics, because art is one of life's tonics. He continued to draw in spite of the flaw that the practice was bad economics."

In a Post-Touching World they're taking a more HANDS ON approach to finding love! LOVENOTFOUND.com explores intimacy in an era when humans choose to forego physical contact similar to themes found in The Naked Sun and Demolition Man. Fans of #StevenUniverse and #SailorMoon will enjoy this series!
