My cover has been revealed for the upcoming TOXIC AVENGER Fantasy Comic, which is also drawn by me!

comic book cover featuring three characters standing triumphantly on the hand of a giant monster, green clouds spewing from its mouth. The three heroic characters are wearing tough, 80s style leather jackets; one of them has a pink squid face, another is a large green man with snail eyes, and in the center is a human wearing a tutu and polka dotted leggings. The whole illustration is pink, purple, and neon green

I work in an exhibit with live spiders, and I think I have lost count how often people misheard "green lynx spider" as "green link spider"...

Two illustrations of a green lynx spider (green spider with two bigger forward facing eyes and lighter colored legs) stacked on top of one another. The one on top is labeled "Green Lynx Spider (Peucetia viridans)", the actual name of the spider. The one below is wearing a green, pointy hat, carrying a blue shield and sword drawn to look like the Hylian shield and Master sword from the "Legend of Zelda", series and is labeled "Green Link Spider (Peucetia hylia)".

Been creating and backing on Kickstarter for about ten years now and will continue to if it remains a good place for its employees.

The workers are not asking for a boycott, just for what they're due--let's get behind them.

Kickstarter United @kickstarterunited.org · 12d

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.
