Just under two weeks left to support MACABRE VALLEY from our friend @zackquaintance.bsky.social 🐺🩸

We had an incredible chat with Zack this past week and we firmly believe that if you aren’t already familiar ZQ’s work at @comicsbeat.bsky.social, you’ll learn the name quickly in the near future ✍️

If you missed it this week, I was on the @oblivionbarpodcast.com talking to my good pal Chris Hacker...this was such a great conversation!

We start off talking PTA and 2025 movies before getting into Macabre Valley and the journalism/comics balancing act
