Cartoonist behind ospiritsarise.com, a webcomic that answers the question: "What would happen if you tossed DOCTOR WHO, HAMMER HORROR, and THE MUPPET SHOW into a blender, then added 5% more jokes?" No bigots. No bullies. No AI.

Check out O SPIRITS, ARISE! A webcomic updated twice weekly on BlueSky, Instagram, and ospiritsarise.com. Horror so tame you’ll laugh. Humor so nonsensical you’ll scream. Thanks for the chat, everyone! #HorrorWritersChat

Wonder if I could write a good story based on Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights," maybe? Might be something in there. #HorrorWritersChat

Music plays a small part in my comics. Spells, for instance, tend to be written in verse. (Inventive, I know!) Also, the main demon sort of dresses like Mick Jagger from THE ROLLING STONES ROCK AND ROLL CIRCUS. #HorrorWritersChat

I'm technically a horror-comedy cartoonist, but writing is writing, yeah? Make silly comics about demons, witches, and haunted roadside inns. Hammer Films meet the Sunday funnies. Listen to a lot of James Bernard soundtracks. Oh, and Annie Lennox, David Bowie, Kate Bush... #HorrorWritersChat

I wonder what DOCTOR WHO fandom would look like today if the original series had been a puppet show à la Gerry Anderson's "Supermarionation." Any differences? Better? Worse? Or would people still be harping about continuity issues and rating their Doctors based on snogability?

A drawing of a witch flying on her broom in front of an big orange circle. The point of her tall hat is bent back on the wind, and the brim is pushed back. She cackles, HEEHEEHEE, while her black cat holds on for dear life on the back of the broom. A small bubbling cauldron with a foot sticking up out of it hangs off the front of the broom trailing steam. A spider dangles by its web from the tip of the broom.

AI enthusiasts and toxic fans are basically the same person. To them art is solely a product. Something to be consumed. Owned. Remixed for their own amusement. It has no value beyond what they can personally extract. Their "participation" matters more than anything else.

Had to draw the magnificent "Bastard," to stave off the sadness. I stopped watching pro wrestling for years, and PAC was one of the reasons I came back. Just an awe-inspiring athlete -- superhuman, even -- and by all accounts a lovely person. He will be sorely missed. RIP. #PAC #AEW #WrestleSky

DOCTOR WHO REWATCH: "The Keys of Marinus." A planet decides to put all of its societal eggs in one artificial intelligence basket, and the only way to amend the system is to... go on a six-episode fetch quest. Another ripped-from-the-headlines plot: "Computers Are Bad Policymakers. Blow Them Up."
Ian, the Doctor, Susan, and Barbara consult... the Pope? DOCTOR WHO.

DOCTOR WHO REWATCH: "Marco Polo." The first proper historical of the series, but probably pretty "yikes" from today's perspective. Only audio and photos remain, due to the BBC's genius decision to murder its TV archives in the crib. An early performance by Zienia Merton (SPACE: 1999) lost to time...
Ping-Cho, Barbara, Marco Polo, Susan, and Tegana. DOCTOR WHO.

DOCTOR WHO REWATCH: "The Edge of Destruction." Classic sci-fi shenanigan story in which all of the characters lose their minds and shout "J'accuse" at each other. Like THE THING, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, or that one episode of the X-FILES where Scully keeps asking Alaskan scientists for stool samples.
The Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Susan go at each other. Well, not the Doctor yet. He's still asleep. DOCTOR WHO.

I once knew a couple in middle school who counted and rated their smooches. Even as a teenager, I thought, "Maybe you're focusing on the wrong things." That's how I feel about "Best Of" lists now.

DOCTOR WHO REWATCH: "The Daleks." In which the Wheelie Bin Nazis debut. Creator/writer, Terry Nation, gets the fascist characterization exactly right: bigoted poltroons hiding behind guns, projecting confidence, yet shrieking frantically whenever challenged. Would be hilarious if not so familiar...
Susan, Ian, the Doctor, and Barbara attack a Dalek. DOCTOR WHO.

FREE MOVIE PITCH. Steve Buscemi and Willem Dafoe as brothers. What happens doesn't really matter. Just an excuse to pair their performances. Wild eyes cranked to eleven. Lots of shouting. Maybe a dance sequence somewhere. Or go super-subtle with everything. First shared Best Actor Oscar since 1932.

DOCTOR WHO REWATCH: "An Unearthly Child." What a wild start to the show. Oh, to be a fly on the wall in those first production meetings. "What sorts of things are children into these days? Temperamental grandparents? Overbearing schoolteachers? Paleolithic tribal hierarchies?"
Meet the TARDIS crew: Barbara, Ian, the Doctor, and Susan.

True. The most expensive part, actually, is the time you have to spend to get eyes on your website. I pay very little (money-wise) for my domain, but I pay a lot (in hours) advertising my URL on social media like I'm a sign spinner outside of a Little Caesars Pizza. Still, worth it!
