Alternate cover redo concept for “Unicorn Selfies.”

I kind of want Phoebe’s expression, at least, to be sillier.

Back on the Evergreen campus, in my capacity as a kind of famous writer graduate who gets to talk about the publishing industry!

I did this, for @peanutscollab.bsky.social! Redraw of one of my favorite strips. (The Schulz original ran on September 9, 1965.)

It was a lot of fun! Obviously, like every cartoonist/sentient person, I love Peanuts.

Charlie Brown meets Linus, in the dark, with a candle.

CB: What’s this?
L: I have heard that it is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
CB: that’s true…although there will always be those who will disagree with you.

Lucy, elsewhere: YOU STUPID DARKNESS!

Someone told me it was #foxtober.

I vaguely feel like foxes had another month earlier on? Like maybe this is all…made up? See? I’m clever. Like a fox.

Here’s Ozy and Milo on a fall day.

Ozy and Milo, two Fox boys, one gray and wearing a top hat, scarf and long black coat, the other red and wearing a beanie that covers his ears. And of course they have cocoa. General autumn theme.

More memoir character stuff.

His estate can’t sue me if I don’t use his name, right? I’m sure my publisher’s lawyers will tell me.

Obviously several drawings of Kurt Cobain

Omg it's book release day! If you are following my account, you like quirky fiction with what authors politely call a strong narrative voice. Odds are you're into female protagonists having a morally ambiguous good time. You DEFINITELY need a comfort read right now. This. This is what you need.

Less than three weeks until the new book, "Galactic Unicorn," is released! You can wait until then, or pre-order it now. Either way, you'll find out what happens when a robot unicorn decides she needs a robot Phoebe.
