I need a Youngster (gen Z or Gen Alpha) to tweet this picture of Pistol Shrimp and say, like, “Yo, this is gas!” or something along those lines that your generation would say. Thanks.

I’m going to be a very hated man once more people discover Pistol Shrimp and find out how long they’ll be left on a cliffhanger between issues. 😑

Trying BBQ Mutton for the first time and one of my Scottish Ancestors appeared in my room like a force ghost.

Don't have the first issue or it's buried too deep in the pile but Pistol Shrimp #2 was a blast. Filled a Rango like void in my heart. @luismorocho.bsky.social art is incredible at sucking you into this western sea world @charliemcfarland.bsky.social wrote a super funny and engaging story

6 guns are drawn at Pistol Shrimp who stands with two of his own out. A wild purple red sunset in the background.

In case you’re wondering, there’s no AI involved in the writing process of my comics. The rough draft is about as rough as it can be. 🔫🦐

I firmly believe that if you just keep putting good work out into the world, people will eventually find it. Call me naive if you want. 😂

We made a fun comic for all ages. Check it out if you love comics like Calvin and Hobbes, Axe Cop, or Bone!

Doing some more work on the Pistol Shrimp script today.

Charlie McFarland @charliemcfarland.bsky.social · 16d

Never waste a character! If you have a character who only appears in one or two scenes, that’s no excuse to make them boring. Give them personality! How do they talk? What are they interested in? Do they have a sense of style? It doesn’t take much and it adds a ton!

Impressed with the confidence of the guy next to me in the work lunchroom to watch a show at full volume on his phone with no headphones.

My posts may not be as popular on Bluesky, but at least I’m not inundated with unwanted content 24/7. Just games, art, and comics.

Read good stories so you know what to strive for. Read bad stories so you know you’re allowed to write your own.

WE ARE NOW LIVE AND LAUNCHING A STRONGER, MORE LOVING WORLD!

Laugh Riot #1 is a 24-page comic book hat can only be described as Looney Tunes versus 1984. It's an anti-fascist thrill ride of japes, play, and good old fashioned ultra-violence!

It’s like Calvin and Hobbes if it were deranged.

Haven’t been on here in a while, but I definitely need to be away from Twitter for a minute. 😭

It’s the final 48 hours for the Pistol Shrimp #1-3 Kickstarter. I don’t plan to enable late pledges for inventory count purposes, so time is running out on some cool rewards!
