A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

The Trans Nerd Meet up is happening again this Saturday from 12:30 until whenever! We take over the patio at Zeitgeist (outdoors) and it's a very chill friendly space.

No gatekeeping: if you are not cis and like to geek out about anything whatsoever (or play games or make stuff) then come hang out!
