It's March 10th, and you know what that means... It's MARIO DAY! I LOVED the battle level, so here's that, Mallory-style!

I've illustrated Mallory in so many different styles. Give it your best shot!

I have a system for breaking down an argument. First, I deal with what can be empirically proven--things with material evidence. Then, deal with things that can be reasoned through using the structure of logic, i.e. deduction and induction. (1/3)

I'm beginning to believe that the greatest folly of the Millennial generation--the thing that gets us into the most chaotic trouble as a society--

As I'm finishing up the Mallory Bash film screenplay, promotional art has been necessary for a few things.

My experience here hasn't been particularly positive. It generally seems to be full of exactly the worst stereotype of Progressivist laymen and their self-unaware affectations, assuredly blocking any dissent of such sufficiently meticulous reasoning that they haven't the will to navigate it.

Just a little Saki splash art.

If you've found yourself so embarrassed by discovering you were wrong that you can't bring yourself to tell the truth, you can be sure that you haven't fully matured.

Most adults have built up unconscious mental filters so elaborately obfuscating that they don't have to realize they're doing it.

We're already a quarter of the way through the 21st Century! This is gonna be the busiest year ever, with the completion of the Mallory Bash film script bringing a return to a brand new L.A. pitch season!

It's New Year's Eve! Time for a retrospective of all the Mallory Bash holiday postcards from 2024.

Here's Valentine's Day, Mario Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter...

Good is not what causes the least harm; it's what results in the least harm. Bad is much simpler; it's hedonism, or the pursuit of maximizing personal pleasure. I say this having tediously observed the results of these principles--or lack thereof--for nearly forty years.

You are not free to become wise until you are free from the fear of your ignorance--or stupidity--being revealed.

"Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free." - Solzhenitsyn

Progressivism will either embody its tyranny upon gaining systemic power or else be rejected by a republic who refuse it unsustainable without tyranny.

We've hit a delta in the marketplace of ideas, and as a result, I think we're experiencing philosophical inflation. Here are my thoughts:

Cover and a couple pages I've been working on for writer Max Beaudry: RAGING THORNS! The pages are not in order; one is Page 1 and another is Page 8.

I did all the character design and comic illustration.

Children love to think hard and find answers. It's only as adults that we become afraid of what we'll have to acknowledge if we search with genuine earnestness and value answers at least as much as questions.

We're terrified of any certainty which we didn't come to without consent.

For many, the brain is wired to treat arguments as games, with winning and losing strategies. The problem is that most people get so caught up in those strategies--so blinded by the superficial tactical play--that their principles become malleable, their perspectives ready to shift...

I'd really just like to stay on the side of Bluesky where all the artists are, but this place has very quickly become a flooded safe haven for the absolute most obnoxious Progressive exodus from Twitter.

I mean it is seriously a political comic strip caricature of exactly why the Left lost.

Happy Thanksgiving, 2024, from Mallory Bash!

The kids are on their way upstairs to Mal's room with their dinner--if they can make it that far before Odran and Olivia drag 'em back down to the table.

I can't do a series of Mallory redhead match-ups without the queen, the mother of all gingers, the woman who created television as we know it and saved our beloved Star Trek, our very much loved, Miss Lucille Ball.
