It is 12:45am on a Saturday night and I am up drawing comics and listening to video game music.

The world may seem rather bleak, but at least for right now, in this moment, 8 year old Javi is pretty stoked.

Hitting middle age at the same time as your pet cat is low-key pretty great.

Blue whales are falling silent from hunger. The krill are gone. The sea is too warm. Their songs fade away.
This is no anomaly. Humanity is deaf to a symphony of grief and warnings.

My "studio" is more an area in the back of a larger room. Enough to be able to throw down on the next issue of Tortilla (number 8). Finishing up a nine page story about my dear pal, Frank Stauf (RIP) was the editor of Deadbeat Magazine based in the Haight-Ashbury in the mid-1980's.

Pay them.
The WNBA All-Stars came out wearing warmup shirts that said, "Pay Us What You Owe Us."

The players' union met with the WNBA Thursday and came away frustrated with the economic model proposed by the league.

3. Ink it in with my Microns.
