MASH is worth it. I prefer the Honeycutt years of course but the Trapper years have their own charm.

The reaction to my memoir on Instagram was overwhelmingly in the "string him up" camp which I do understand. Its just not my style these days. Lol Also ooo Bluesky let me upload more than 4 images!

Been catching up on shipping lately. Missed out on scanning quite a few but we got these two in. My art has changed so much in just a few years. Its kinda shocking honestly.

Da es self-published ist und jeden Buzz gebrauchen kann: ich habe heute diesen autobiographischen Comic von @tessfowler.bsky.social über Grooming, Abuse, Brustkrebs und Körpertraumata gelesen und habe keine Worte. Er ist furchtbar und brillant. tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com/product/digi...

Cover von "take the fall" von tess fowler gutierrez und chris gutierrez. Es zeigt die in Teile zerlegte Puppe einer jungen Frau zwischen vielen verschiedenalten Versionen ihrer selbst.

Eine Seite aus dem Comic. Verschiedenalte Versionen derselben Frau wirbeln durch die Dunkelheit. Dazwischen ein Wal. Der Text dazu sagt: I asked for strength. The Void Answered. I AM LOST."

The offers I've had for readers to off "The Old Man" from my book are buck wild. I need you to read this book. Understand that trauma is complex but these crimes can be prevented. If you're educated about these men you can stop them in their tracks BEFORE they strike. Tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com

Very out of character. And hey, its easy to believe anything these days in all this noise and chaos. Didn't realize you were here! Chris and I are in DTLA. Hope you're well. Was glad to see your name in my feed. 😎🤘

...and disregard for human life, that someone would have HAD to report it. THANK YOU for asking questions and trying to verify. I wish more people did that these days.

That part of the claim stuck in my craw. Ed was open and adamant about his history of violence and how much he regretted it. For him to do something like that, post RUST, and there are no complaints filed? Its not just out of character for Ed but would require such a high level of recklessness...

Oh nothing insurance just cut me off from the oncologist I've seen for 6 years randomly without warning. I'm ok. Just means a lot of jumping thru hoops to get everything I have right now, and a delay in care. 90% high risk cancer patient here, and I'm in limbo again. This is American healthcare.

Parts 1 and 2 of a diary comic about my existential dread. I think on paper. My emotions don't make sense until I draw them. What does this one mean? I know what I see in it. What do you see?

I'm okay. I promise. Just had an inbox full of survivor stories this morning and I'm sad. I'm angry. I'm exhausted. I will keep talking thru the work and I will help who I can. Of course. But I'm pissed that victims pay a lifelong price while predators get to thrive.

Forewarned is forearmed, right? What happened to me ruined so much of my life. It affected everything. Is it too much to hope for to have this discussion, in this climate? Am I screaming into an impossible void? ...she asks as she types into the void.

I'm tired. We live in a world where grooming children is just another topic for political talking heads to bandy back and forth. Why do I have survivors piling up on IG with no support systems? I made a book about what happened to me and my hope is that it will help with healing and PREVENTION.

I likely have to take the plunge to try my hand at filming again. Chris and I can discuss it on camera. I just hate that I'm being forced to do this instead of spending my time working. Interviews I can do. They're controlled. Doing it myself seems counterintuitive.

Tess Fowler Gutierrez @tessfowler.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Working on heading to Amazon for a paperback version of the memoir. My EU audience seems happy about it so I'm pleased. I remain leery of interviewers who usually discuss cape books tho. It deserves a serious discussion. Yet outside interviewers fear my comic background.

I made a graphic novel while I was in crisis. I struck out to conquer whatever ghosts were rattling around in my rusty innards, making it so difficult to accomplish chemo and surgeries. I self published that book. Tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com

I found out I'm autistic and I have some pretty potent OCD, all while making this comic. In the book I talk about cancer, estrangement, grooming and SA of a minor. I discuss multiple felony crimes that were committed in the late 90s. Tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com

The Old Man had a live in girlfriend and a belly full of rage. His eyes were dead unless he was in front of a crowd, or making me cry. He will never do time for his crimes against me. I carried that darkness with me into every dr office, not knowing I was haunted. Tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com

The response from readers has been more than I could have ever hoped for. Its helped a lot of people feel less alone. I'm proud of that. I've never been 100% proud of myself until this memoir. Just wish I knew where to take it from here. Tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com

The Epstein/Trump headlines drove me into a pretty bad depression there for awhile and I couldn't promote this book. My Instagram grew almost overnight when I released the memoir originally. Survivors all telling me their stories. The support has helped me a LOT. Tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com

I adore a messy comic shop. Its like I'm a treasure hunter. The best shops have an old white haired guy full of stories, perched among the mess. Thats how you know there's good stuff.

My shop will remain open. I just can't do softcover myself. For some reason the printers all charge double. So I will only have hardcover and digital for the foreseeable future.

Not interfering at all! You're always a help and make things better. I'm sorry I'm always stubborn and it takes me months/years to fully understand things. Lol

I don't know the first thing about whole saling to shops, mind you. But I was trying to take the temperature before going that direction. I'm told the Diamond situation has made it hard for anyone to take chances anymore. Which again, I do understand. Makes sense.

Tess Fowler Gutierrez @tessfowler.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Yes, I've been looking into the black and white option. I have multiple pages throughout that don't read, even when doing the way we discussed. I hadn't even considered whole saling to shops. The various shops I spoke to said they wouldn't be comfortable selling it, which I understand.
