🎂 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. 👒

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
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.

From summers in the Catskills to a dream gig at Topps — my trading card obsession was about to pay off. Garbage Pail Kids, baseball cards, bubblegum wrappers… if it came in a wax pack, I probably bought it. Now I was making them.
#SoButtons #Topps
From Kirby to Bazooka Joe… and me.
Summers in the Catskills = Star Wars & Bazooka gum (wrappers and all, if you were my grandma). Years later, I was at Topps making Star Wars cards. From bungalow games to Lucasfilm secrets.

Dropped off a check… and picked up a memory.
This used to be a Waldenbooks. Stern, Anne Rice, George Foreman. Now? A bank.
And I’m a “Borders & Noble” Boomer. 🥲

✏️ From Miracleman to Trident, from Bruce Paley to Scott Dunbier — my semester in London turned into a full-on comix universe connect-the-dots.
Who knew one trip abroad could lead to this much small press magic?

Ever go all the way to London just to find a comic shop run by a guy from Brooklyn?
In So Buttons #11, I dive into UK small press and stumble onto Skinny Melinks (Bruce Paley) — and a small world moment I never saw coming.

🇬🇧 So… I left NYU for a semester abroad in London, hoping to “learn British” and shake off my suburban NY roots.
Found:
📍 A flat in Lewisham
💥 Miracleman
📰 Escape Magazine
And my first love affair with small press comics.

Robert Crumb meets Monty Python in this absurdist mashup by @garrettgilchrist.bsky.social, inspired by my comic So… Cheesy (yes, there’s actual cheese and John Cleese involved).

@marinaomi.bsky.social drew the cover of So Buttons #14, which is Eisner-nominated (!). Their art felt especially meaningful since Mari is half-Japanese, like my mom. Voting ends in days—if you're eligible, I'd be honored for your vote.

John Cleese’s real last name?
Cheese.
Page three of “So… Cheesy” is full of laughs and Python references—but also quietly sets up one of the kindest things I’ve ever seen a celebrity do.

Billy was a teen in a wheelchair, quoting Monty Python with joy—and dreaming of cheese.

🥃 Joan Rivers' green room. A Scotch egg. And finally—after 15 years—the forbidden Laphroaig touches my lips.

🥃 When you’re in Edinburgh and a shopkeeper whispers, “We’re not supposed to sell this…”—you buy the Scotch.
