I was invited to contribute a poem to an anthology of poets responding to Frank O'Hara's "Having a coke with you." Had a deadline of one week because it was a late invite. The editor asked to see more of my stuff for his lit mag. I'm officially tweaking out now.

Zelda is actually the name of the princess. The character you control is Zelda's Monster.

of sideburns, all I had was the squirts and a vague plan to hurl my homework out of the back of the bus. I rode my huffy to the end of the driveway, extended my claws at a man with a dog and said “I’m the best there is at what I do, bub.” #poem

Proofs for The Routine #3 are in and have been approved. This issue came out most resplendent, if I may say so myself.

Printing proof for The Routine #3, an indie comic about how to survive the 9 to 5 grind, told from the perspective of henchmen.

The cover features a henchman holding a very prominent fast food mascot hostage.

Today, I learned that Walt Disney's original name for Mickey Mouse was Mortimer Mouse. His wife told him to change it because it sounded "too sissy," but to my ear, Mortimer Mouse sounds metal as hell. Later, a character named Mortimer Mouse was introduced as Mickey's rival (and he's a total dick)

Mortimer Mouse (who is a dick) offering Mickey Mouse a handshake.

Mortimer Mouse's hips have a fairly severe pelvic tilt, which gives him the appearance of having some serious cake.

As we put the finishing touches on the newest issue of The Routine and send it off to print, finished pages from The Remainders are sailing on in. Pages flying this way and that.
