Hi new friends! We make comics, and for the last year we’ve been making a smart, hella gay romcom about weddings, crime, and how shitty rich people can be.
Check out the cover and full synopsis in the link, check the hashtag for a bunch of WIP stuff, and maybe give it a preorder?

I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.

The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.
This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

Hey guys, Paul Allor is a wonderful writer I worked with on TMNT and a great person to boot. Like many creatives, Paul had some back luck health-wise and is looking for some help to raise a modest amount to cover some outstanding bills. Please consider donating a few bucks if you can.
I'm getting out of the hospital today and I could use some help, if you're able. Even taking the time to check it out or share means more than I can say.

Hey we live in hell so how about buying some wound treatment for medics who have to be out on the street patching up their neighbors instead of *not* doing that and living the lives they lead before the goonsquad came to town.
Do you want to help Minneapolis out in a different way? Help set up some new street medics so that they can make sure community members are cared for at protests.
