It arrived @brockway.bsky.social! In fact, it arrived twice! I preordered in Nov from the BookShop.org website, forgot about it and ordered it again elsewhere.

It’s okay though because a friend’s birthday is coming up on the 18th, so I know what he’s getting. 😂

So this happened. I was invited to Drink and Doodle on Facebook. Yes I was nervous working with all this talent. 😂 It was a lot of fun.

There is a recording on the Fowl Language Comics FB page. So if you have access, enjoy watching me embarrass myself.

Hahahahaha

REPOST: Chalk World

I am very late with this old comic due to weather and work issues this morning. Lulu has entered the mind of the mysterious kindergarten girl named Jules. What will she find?

Kim has been doing short cooking videos for a while. I often try to replicate them to great success. In fact her pork chop dish scored major points with my wife.

So I am very excited for the Red Hot Dot show- check it out and give her a follow.

Smashing Idea

We’re expecting a big ice storm event where we live in a day which inspired this.

For this 350th comic I want to thank Fran Sunblad who graciously allowed Tiff and Eve to cameo. Please check out her delightful comic here: @tiffandevecomics.bsky.social

Gonna have a bunch of books out in the coming weeks.

Been meaning to release my old stuff for a while now, since I've gotten requests for them. I figure this will also help vary up the kind of books I've published!

If you see this, post your painting/drawing of a dragon.

I think I drew this sketch of New Mutants Lockheed in 1987. I used a comic page as a reference.

REPOST: Mind Melt

Lulu uses her magic brain skills in a much kinder way to learn something about Jules and make a couple of new friends.

Bill Watterson predicted a hell of a lot about today's society and he didn't like any of it which is why he's so reclusive.

Dani and Lulu come prepared in this follow up to last Wednesdays comic.

I was pleased that summersoffcomic IG had the same idea just a couple days ago. Whether you are a teacher or parent you will enjoy her topical comics about modern education.
