Inniu, I pay tribute to Manchán Magan who taught us that our connections to each other are what make us divine and human

The Death of Manchán Magan Reminds Us to Relate to Each Other

We must commit to Manchán Magan's revolutionary and anti-colonial act of remembering.

☣️ THE GAME is here! A new graphic novella about what happens when your evil wife decides you need to be taught a lesson. If you:
-Are 18+
-Like dom ladies & neurotic wifeguys
-Prefer villains
-Agree that sex is inherently comical
-Love B&W comic books that are 80pgs long
Go to tinyurl.com/yfce8hzr!

The cover to The Game. Alexander, a thin white man with tousled black hair and round glasses, holds up a leather gimp hood. He’s sweating and blushing and grins nervously. Janine’s curvaceous shadow is cast over him. He stands against a brick wall washed in a pink and purple gradient. The title is in big yellow block letters. The text also says “For Adults Only” and “Ophilia Bedelia.”

It’s been too long since I drew dominant Alexander so here’s a comic that’s a flip in theme from the upcoming graphic novella. 😈

A cropped comic panel of a shit from behind Janine, naked, straddling Alexander. He’s grinning mischievously and gripping her ass. She says, “Hey, I haven’t given you permission to touch that yet.”

Being an OC artist who draws ship art of their characters is a very special kind of rarepair situation. It's me, my ocs and the few weirdos staring in the window as I play dolls. Kind of beautiful if you think about it.

A comic panel showing the backs of Janine, Alexander, Major Collin, Ghysbert and The Minotaur’s chair as they watch a giant tv screen. On it is an anchorwoman and a graphic that’s says “Villain Fail?” Superimposed over the art are the words “DAY 6”.

Newsletter is out now: There are very few major global events of my childhood where my anxiety was ever soothed by any authority in my life. So why would I think there would be comfort at the end of a movie or book that is about the destruction of everything I know and love?

"V for Vendetta" Is an Unflinching Love Story Amid Fascism

While V offers us an ideal, it’s really Evey who shows us that fear can be overcome in pursuit of that ideal.

West burbs are getting radicalized, you wouldn’t believe the level of interest and support in further left than dem orgs we are getting from all sorts of folks out here. Folks in fucking Naperville are pissed because some roofers were snatched off a job in Cress Creek subdivision.
