Happy Birthday to Us, Edition 4 — “So… Never Mind the Baylis.”
I didn’t even really grow up on the Pistols — I was more of an 80s kid: PIL + New Order era.

Johnny Rotten as punk history and modern disappointment in one page. 💥

Page 2 of 2 —

The part where I absolutely should not have bought that Grant Morrison–scripted, Frank Quitely–drawn All-Star Superman page…

…and never regretted it.

Happy Birthday to Us, Part 3: Grant Morrison

Page 1 of 2 — San Diego Comic-Con, small-press tables, and the @grantmorrison.bsky.social–scripted / Frank Quitely–drawn All-Star Superman page I absolutely should not have bought… and never regretted.

Meeting @ethanhawke wasn’t a mirror moment…
except we had identical sneakers.
Movie stars: still human.

Every facial-hair experiment except “guy who charges $19 for a cocktail.”
My Before Sunrise era, my therapist’s theories…
And yeah — I worked with Ethan Hawke today.

Kicking off a new story about my “So Buttons Face,” the first-date scruff Ophira approved of, and the beaded shirt she definitely didn’t.
Honestly amazed I ever got a second date.

@seanfennessey.bsky.social Hey man, trying to find this channel on my Samsung TV Plus. I updated my Samsung this morning, but couldn't find the channel? Has it premiered yet? Does it have a channel number or is it more like an app?

Remembering Tom Spurgeon today.
He made SPX feel warmer and more connected — even for an anxious “nobody” like me.

Still missed. ❤️

🎂 I share a birthday with Carol Channing — Broadway’s original Dolly Levi.
But in my family, we were Team Barbra.
Still… Carol could wear a hat. And I respect that. 👒

Nice to chat with you, Jimmy!
Day Zero of SPX. (It starts tomorrow). I still did 2 interviews tho! Thx to Peter and Maria of @coinophoey.bsky.social and to friend Jonathan aka @sobuttonscomics.bsky.social ! #ComicNewsInsider #SPX

Thank you, you did an amazing job!
SPX-goers: make sure to stop by W74 for the latest issue of So Buttons!

I drew a story about @sobuttonscomics.bsky.social bonding with his mom over West Side Story, and I can honestly say I was training my whole life for this one 😊

Walking through SPX with comix legend Jay Lynch, I asked: Why did Bazooka Joe wear an eyepatch? His answer was classic. Rick Parker nailed the punchline. Catch me at SPX Sept 13–14! #SoButtons #SPX2025

Page 4 (the end): First con ever. College kid geeking out with Byrne, Miller, Mignola & Gibbons… and somehow convincing Topps I was employable. Comics + bubblegum cards = destiny with a stick of gum.
August 17, 2025 at 7:27 PM
First comics con. Still in college. One day I’m meeting Byrne, Miller, Gibbons… the next I’m talking with the Topps crew.

Those conversations? They’d lead to my first real job in the industry.
