Cleveland-area hobby cartoonist with an almost alarming knowledge of DC’s New 52 thanks to my years on DCR Podcast. I mostly exist as an Etsy shop now but *I’m workin’ on it.*
A green Tyrannosaurus rex with a huge anime sweat bubble on his head, looking paranoid with the words “YOU AIN’T A PART OF THESE DAYS” scrawled on top of him. Really sticking it to The Olds. Available as a t-shirt on TeePublic. https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/14563548-you-aint-a-part-of-these-days?store_id=519278 An enamel pin of a yellow bee with giant cartoon eyes shrugging its shoulders under the words “That’s the way it BEES sometimes.” A shrug-a-bee, if you will. The backing card it’s pinned to has a gold and yellow honeycomb pattern and there’s a fancy bokeh effect behind THAT because my brother is a really good photographer. Available on my Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/listing/1043919061/whatever-bee-enamel-pin A tiny, mustachioed interviewer is shocked that the person he’s interviewing has called his upcoming opponent “a turnip?!” Pro-wrestler “Muscle” Jim Tricep, who may or may not be a gestalt of the three most famous pro wrestlers of the late 80s and early 90s, magically conjures a turnip in his hands while yelling, in all caps, “THAT’S RIGHT HE’S A TURNIP!” Digitally illustrated lack and white indie cartoon-style. From Vagabond Comics Issue 11: Tag Team anthology https://vagabondcomics.storenvy.com/products/28407263-vagabond-comics-issue-11-tag-team The back of my business card, featuring a bunch of links to social media that is either dead or I no longer use. There’s a simplified cartoon penguin popping his head out in the lower right-hand corner. The links that are actually useful and can get me money are Etsy.com/shop/briang and TeePublic.com/user/briang - but that second one is mostly just if you want my stuff on a t-shirt, I make almost nothing from it, it’s just less work for me. The Etsy is where you’re actually getting things FROM me and I can use the money for goods and services.

I genuinely want to know how the conclusion of Futures End came to be “Batman Beyond, but take away the thing everyone loves about Batman Beyond”

Whenever I come back to a book and previously dead people are there I just think “Oh, they came back to life. Good for them!” in a Homer Simpson voice

I also kind of love the implication that he did it to mimic someone and it stuck

Loved playing one of the many beloved DC comics weirdos that should be more popular than Batman.

(And major shoutout to @esper.bsky.social for completely understanding my ridiculous vision in the edit)

Great work all-around by @alexjaffe.bsky.social and @esper.bsky.social - Had fun jumping back into podcasting as a janitor that may or may not have experienced a “Zombie Night” at the Gotham Aquarium, depending on where current continuity lies.

I show up as two different Gotham citizens on this episode of @dcactionnews.bsky.social, so if anyone remembers my hard-hitting improv work as “Telos” on DCR podcast you’re in for a treat.

Old illustration of one of my tabletop characters, The Unscrupulous Cunk. Inks and ~flourish~ by @knotsquid.bsky.social
A tiny goblin with an insane look in his eyes. He’s wearing Landsknecht-style uniform - including the poofy hat with a giant feather - and brandishing a two-handed broadsword that’s bigger than he is. On faux parchment with blood spatters. The words “The Unscrupulous Cunk, Esq.” are written in a medieval-style blackletter font, but I’m pretty sure he’s never taken the bar.

I find the reason a lot of us love it (and some “fans” dislike it so much) is because it really, truly drives home why you should hate the Empire

Considering no one ever wants to follow up with new high-concept characters for fear of breaking them and then we never see them again, I welcome this
