Writing, drawing, and coloring the adventures of Solomon Kane -- living Sword of Vengeance who wanders a fantastical 16th century.
I am also writing stories for The Savage Sword of Conan magazine, published by Heroic and Titan comics.
I love making these stories.
Thank you for looking.

I'm kinda okay with this :)

I've gone to pizza joints that have 'The Godzilla' on their menu. Some massive pizza with everything on it.

Oh, the insensitivity.

Also, this administration is insane.

Those blurbs are awful. Wth?

They have the most awkward pair of cover blurbs for some reason.

The more 'tech' the world gets, the more appealing hobbies and activities like pottery, horseback riding, sewing, painting, origami, glassworking... hell, even falconry, become.

Reminds me of gerrymandering. Voting districts look like word balloons, with the tail in the city and the larger part lassoing in rural areas.

I used to live in Austin. One of the most politically divided areas I've ever lived in.

They pulled a 19-year-old woman out of college, a good student. They're trying to deport her. She's lived here since she was 4.
That is disgusting behavior by this administration.
This is Not pursuing 'the worst criminals'.

I'd love to have coffee with you, Taylor. Though I'm afraid I'd ask you so many technical questions about lettering that you'd regret it :)

I'm certainly not saying that either.
I'll still take annoying over the insanity that's the GOP.
Border crossings are down, that's good. Deporting hard-working people and children who have been here as long as they can remember, that's wrong. It's reprehensible.
On/off thinking is broken reasoning.

Of course people like that are annoying. Being a pedantic, winger-waving prude who polices behavior is never cool. I just don't see why we have to fall to fascism as a reaction to it.

The characters felt like characters, not just pins to knock down (murder).

Patch Zircher @patrickzircher.bsky.social · 15h

Some people having a hard time grasping that I can be liberal and still say liberals can be annoying.
It's called honesty.

Patch Zircher @patrickzircher.bsky.social · 20h

Godzilla is triggering?

This is why some people find liberals insufferably annoying.

I'd really like to have a cup of coffee with about 200 people I know on here.
Some of these folks, I've been talking to or reading posts from for 11 or 12 years (counting Twitter).

The Fly (1986), composed by Howard Shore.
Orchestral with a pleasing range of dynamics from soft to triumphal. A little wonder (primarily in the first half) mixed in with the tension.

I like my bio in the new Savage Sword of Conan trade.
My editor wrote this.
I also like my editor.

The Vampire Archives anthology is double columned, in large hardcover dimensions. It's 1056 pages in that format.
Were it a mass market paperback, it would require about five 500 pg books.
I've been reading it, on and off, for several years. I think that's the intention.

Also "Brick".

Latest read (audio), 12 vampire tales from the massive Vampire Archives; stories by David Schow, EF Benson, Basil Copper, F Marion Crawford, MR James, Manly Wade Wellman, August Derleth, Alice & Claude Askew, Bram Stoker, Algernon Blackwood, & HB Marriott Watson.
Lot of classic horror here.

You probably realize video games don't cause social problems.
Neither do fictional characters.

Patch Zircher @patrickzircher.bsky.social · 17h

There are characters that have an exaggerated femininity, or masculinity, sexuality, or aggressiveness.
Embrace what they are. They're not problematic.
Failing to understand their appeal and "raison d'être" is problematic.
Take the blinders off and realize what people like about these characters.

I think I have the words trigger and cultural appropriation muted. I should have known better than to look :)

I use that word 'ninny' a lot too.
The extremes seem to be ninnies or dudebros.
I'll take the range in between :)

Anyone who thinks Godzilla is triggering is a ninny.
