The Surgeon, Vol. 1, the complete 180+ page graphic novel, only has a couple more days left on #kickstarter and still hasn't quite funded. I'd love to see this thing finish strong! Rally 'round, y'all! Let's push this sucker up the hill. #comics #graphicnovel #postapocalyptic #western

A painterly image of a post-apocalyptic Western scene - a woman relaxes and looks into the middle-distance far from the base of Mount Rushmore. A tattered red cross flag flies above her head; a wrecked truck rusts away. Bison graze at the foot of a palisade wall where dozens of arrows are stuck.

OK. LET'S GO.

The complete 6-issue arc of stubborn little #comics series, #TheSurgeon, is being released as the big-ass trade paperback it was always written to be. New reacharound cover by @meghanhetrick.bsky.social, behind-the-scenes documentation, fan art, alt covers, and all that. #kickstarter

I guaran fucking tee you that the President of the United Fucking States and the Richest Man in the Fucking World have talked together about the chaos and uncertainty their bullshit would cause My Demographic and laughed.

And that is not some Jello Biafra tinfoil hat paranoia.

So if you just say, "On Spotify, play some Lee 'Scratch' Perry," you might get 3 or 4 "Chase the Devil"s right in a row and I could easily go an hour more. Dunno about y'all, but I'm gonna put on an iron shirt and chase the Devil off-a the earth.

As one does, sitting on the couch eating a watermelon radish like an apple, the poor hound dog BEG-GING for it. I got to the fibrous part near the root and gave it to her.

She didn't actually like it! Imagine that! Hound doesn't like radishes.
