I'm really excited about the comics I've gotten to edit so far in my freelancing this year and am really eager to work on more projects earlier in their lifespan in 2026.
If you are thinking of self-publishing in 2026 and beyond please consider hitting me up at an earlier stage.

@davidbooher.bsky.social and I have an exciting new comic live on Kickstarter!
He's hot. He's clever. Good news, fellas. He's very gay. None of that's nearly as interesting as the fact that Moe Malloch is also the son of the devil.
Literally. Satan's his dad.
