So I've said this before, but my intention has always been to take a break from the Mia Graves books once I finished book five. And, well, with the fifth book, The Perfect Host coming out in August (pre-order it!) that means I need to figure out what the heck [Read More]
Hey guys! I'm excited to announce that The Perfect Host, the fifth book in the Mia Graves Saga, is coming out on August 10th, 2026! Like the previous entries in the series, you can pre-order the eBook on Kindle or on Kobo. Pre-orders for the paperback can also be made [Read More]
I did a nice thing for a stranger today. I'm not going to bother saying what it was, or give any details about the interaction beyond saying that it cost me zero dollars, just a few seconds of my time, but still made a tangible difference in that person's seemingly [Read More]
With No Brand Con 2026 in the rearview, I think it's time to talk about the business of running a small, nonprofit convention. This year was genuinely really good for us, and kind of a miracle. Events like ours usually don't come back from the dead, and I want to [Read More]
So we announced it a little while back, but I'm excited to say that the first print collection of Peregrine Lake is now officially on sale! That's right, all of Ethan's gorgeous artwork (and my acceptable writing) could be in your hands right now for just $29.99. Besides the first [Read More]

So…wearing a short with a comedic take on why it’s not alright to burn things down that don’t belong to you because a criminal got caught is an international crime but it’s alright to use explosives to indiscriminately kill everything in a lake ??? rigghhhtttttt,..got it.
Well holy shit, I was not expecting an overt racist in the comments
Like jesus fucking christ, I cannot get over this comment.
We start with making the Musky Lives Matter shirt MORE racist than it is (it’s racist because it’s making light of the state killing black people because of a fish joke — it’s not actually intended as a commentary, and your “commentary” is a weird, fucked up interpretation of BLM).
Then you make an assumption about what Greg is talking about, which is somehow the least dumbass part of your comment — which is pretty fucking remarkable with how dumbass your comment is.
But then you finish it off by implying killing fish is WORSE than the state murdering innocent people. Like holy shit.
You have no idea what you’re talking about, your definition of ‘racist’ is completely and utterly wrong and throwing it anyone and everyone you can only makes you racist against the rest of the human race but that doesn’t matter now, does it ? Everyone has to bow to your inane definition or be accused of something you make up…please, I’ve dealt with real racism my entire life, not your pitiful attempt to manufacture something out of nothing. Please child, give yourself enough time on planet to understand things instead of just regurgitating the focus group approved catchphrase of the week…then ask the ‘blm’ crew for some of the millions they stole back, sell their mansions of you have to but try to use it for something good instead of just self aggrandizement and driving wedges between peoples instead of helping. Pity, I had hopes for this comic.
“Pity, I had hopes for this comic.”
Well I had hopes you wouldn’t be a racist asshole. Looks like we both get to be disappointed today.
Turn off the Fox News and maybe actually speak to actual black people once and a while. Fucking hell.
“What the hell you got in those things, Burt?”
“A couple of household chemicals in the proper proportions.”
Some days I’m delighted to live in an age with the internet and the vast amount of entertainment it brings. And some days I encounter other people of the internet, who I would have been content to never know existed.
Anyway, agreed, small towns are where you make your own fun.
