I live in Somerville. I draw the webcomic "Curing Cancer" (www.curingcancercomics.com) and I'm currently working on an autobiographical project called Pressure Drop.

Unexpectedly happy to be spending my rainy Saturday afternoon watching Elevator to the Gallows with a 6-year-old who's actually interested in the plot. @criterion.bsky.social making magic happen in their own weird way.

A reference to the Rathskeller in Boston on @futuramahulu.bsky.social? Unless they mean a different Rathskeller.

What a world I'm living in where my 6 year old would rather watch Hero's Island (1962) than How to Train Your Dragon

One of the many #ScottPilgrim character cameos in the book. This time, Stephen Stills helps make ends meet by working for your favorite rideshare. Sex Bob-ombs don't pay the bills, you know? #pressuredropcomic

Just when you think you've got your work's bathroom's playlist's algorithm figured out, it plays these two songs back to back. Can't a man push his cannonballs through his internal highway in peace? @rascalflatts.bsky.social @thebreeders.bsky.social

Opinion: stop rearranging pop/rock songs into classical music to appeal to sophisticates with no taste. @nytimes.com, your lack of perspective on music will always impress me.

Special thanks to @etheringtonbros.bsky.social and their invaluable How to Think When You Draw tutorials for helping this panel turn out half-way decent. Still needs work, right? They should really include a difficulty level to help a sucka figure out if he's using his GD Clip Studio tools properly
