The Surgeon, Vol. 1, the complete 180+ page graphic novel, only has a couple more days left on #kickstarter and still hasn't quite funded. I'd love to see this thing finish strong! Rally 'round, y'all! Let's push this sucker up the hill. #comics #graphicnovel #postapocalyptic #western

OK. LET'S GO. The complete 6-issue arc of stubborn little #comics series, #TheSurgeon, is being released as the big-ass trade paperback it was always written to be. New reacharound cover by @meghanhetrick.bsky.social, behind-the-scenes documentation, fan art, alt covers, and all that. #kickstarter
A painterly image of a post-apocalyptic Western scene - a woman relaxes and looks into the middle-distance far from the base of Mount Rushmore. A tattered red cross flag flies above her head; a wrecked truck rusts away. Bison graze at the foot of a palisade wall where dozens of arrows are stuck.

So if you just say, "On Spotify, play some Lee 'Scratch' Perry," you might get 3 or 4 "Chase the Devil"s right in a row and I could easily go an hour more. Dunno about y'all, but I'm gonna put on an iron shirt and chase the Devil off-a the earth.

As one does, sitting on the couch eating a watermelon radish like an apple, the poor hound dog BEG-GING for it. I got to the fibrous part near the root and gave it to her. She didn't actually like it! Imagine that! Hound doesn't like radishes.

NEW BFF ALERT (2 of 2) - on the way out she accidentally hugged a guy at another table, forgetting where I sat, but then came over and gave me the REAL Grinch hug. But by then it had gotten awkward and she had to give Shelley and that other guy's wife a hug too. Best daggone hug in a while. NEW BFF.

NEW BFF ALERT ( 1 of 2)- on an impromptu date night, the little girl at the next table (who was 3, and wanted you to know) was stomping and growling and she snarled at me. I snarled back. She goes, "Are you a Grinch? 'Coz I'm a GRINCH," and I go, "Awww yeah," and we fist-bump.

I started a new job recently. Today, I had to sit through some mental illness/substance abuse/suicide awareness training that was at once extremely boring and hella triggering (missing some friends here). So, bored, sad, bordering on anxiety attack, and this comes to check on me every few minutes.

Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about hot peppers. Green chiles are my favorite. Second is Scotch bonnets. I like canned chipotles real well; however, jalapeños tear my guts up, way worse than other peppers that might be hotter.

New #thesurgeon miniseries coming next year from @lagunastudios.bsky.social, in its own time. Art here by Zoran Jovicic as new characters hear what Doc is up to in the distance. They don't like it. #makecomics #indiecomics #postapocalyptic #western #comicart
two comics panels in black and white line art stage, before colors. panel one shows an intense looking dude with a beard and bald head eating camp fare and looking to the distance with some concern on his face. his horse is also restless. the other panel shows two equally concerned armed guards around a fortified gate.
