Farewell and rest easy, Tim Curry.🥺❤️ Arguably as fabulous as Dolly in his own way, now joining her at 80 in the great beyond. Always cool, wry, sexy & funny. That iconic voice! Here's an illustration I did a while back for the SanDiego ComicCon guide...my take on Curry as a sexy, sinister Joker.
Time Curry as the Joker, adjusting his necktie, sporting big, green hair and a prop *bang* gun.

I'll be at my publisher's table (Lev Gleason/New Friday) this weekend at Comicon in Toronto. This is the first time I table at one of these events and I just don't know how my stuff fits into a con setting vs indie comic festivals. Come through if you can!

Strong reminder: women have not been independent for as long as some folks would like you to believe. We’ve lost rights that we never should have lost.
1910 Women could wear pants
1920 White women could vote
1963 Women gained equal paid rights (sort of)
1965 Black women could vote
19 69 Women were allowed to initiate divorce
1972 Women could get birth control, without a man
1973 Women could choose to get an abortion, legally
1974 Women could buy a home, without a man
1988 Women could own their own business, without

2022 Women lost the constitutional right to abortion
