I’m Bashing In At BashCon!

Find me this weekend – February 6 through 8 – at BashCon, on the University of Toledo campus!

this table pic is actually from Be Excellent Festival, showing my comics and art

The show itself is at the Lancelot Thompson Student Union. Show’s open Friday from 4 to 10 pm; Saturday from 10 am to 10 pm; and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm.

I will be there, along with my buddies Gary and Chloe, showcasing our art in the vendor area! There will be a ton of game demos happening, so in the spirit of that I want to bring copies of my free RPGs.

Can’t make it in person? You can get my free RPGs on Ko-fi now!

I have also been promised good food through the student union, as listed in the official Bashcon pamphlet.

If you’re in the Toledo, OH area this weekend, I hope to see you there!

That’s all for now. Thank you for checking in!

You. Are. Awesome.

Find me at Genghis Con Cleveland 2025!

The show is November 30 at the Pivot Center in the Lakewood area. From 11 am to 5 pm, you can find me (and a ton of other indie comics makers) there!

If you can make it, I hope to see you at Genghis Con!

Not local? I have a special deal going on my Ko-fi shop:

15% off all Ko-fi shop sales – including commissions – will be donated to the Brown Bag Food Project, a mutual aid project in Wood County, OH dedicated to feeding families in need.

On top of that, Eegyt’s Pepper Soup and the Himbo’s Guide to Cooking Chicken are both free to download for folks who need them. Plus, any and all sales of those two zines will go directly to Brown Bag Food Project.

Fundraising for Brown Bag Food Project will run until NOV 30 at 11:59 pm ET.

SHOP NOW

I can’t claim credit for the idea of fundraising in lieu of a Black Friday sale. That idea goes to Bonedust Press, publishers of The Traitor & The Wretch. (If that sounds familiar, I wrote a review about the book!). (Also you should check them out, too!)

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!

LAST DAY to Support The Legend of Jamie Roberts, Volume 3 on KickStarter!

A young genderqueer person with blonde hair and glasses sits on the edge of a mesa. Two young men stand behind them, one with dark brown hair and the other with light blonde hair. All three wear a light green cape and are gazing out over the horizon. In the distance is a long, winding path leading to a mesa and a castle town sitting on top of it.

Today is the LAST DAY you can back The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 3 on KickStarter! This swashbuckling genderqueer adventure is about to sail over the digital horizon, so this is your last chance.

A lot has happened since we launched this campaign a month ago.

  • We’ve raised over $1400 for volume 3!
  • We’ve unlocked the first stretch goal, and are very close to unlocking the next one.
  • Volume 1 is under threat of being banned! (More on that in this post.)
Three comic panels sit wide, showing off desert landscapes as the characters traverse. Panel 1 shows early morning, panel 2 shows afternoon, and panel 3 shows evening. In panel 2, two young men sing, “I’ve been a while rover for many the year, and I’ve spent all me money on whiskey and beer…” Two other voice speak over the panel. “Basho?” “Hm?” Panel 3 shows the characters at camp, a young genderqueer person with glasses holding a sword and gazing up at the stars. Voiceover narration asks, “There are other spirits besides Mocktaw, right? Because…You remember Pim?”

We’re closing in on the finish line now.

If you have not backed this campaign yet, this is your last chance to do so. You have until 11:59 pm EDT tonight.

While there is a 24-hour grace period for pledges, all the prices go up in the grace window. So today’s the last day to claim rewards at a discounted price.

“But wait,” you might be thinking, “this is for volume 3, right? I haven’t read the comic yet!”

Well good news – volumes 1 and 2 are also available as rewards (in both digital and physical copies)! That’s not to mention the other rewards available, like commissions and even original art.

So, once again, if you haven’t backed this campaign yet, this is your last call to do so.

Check out the KickStarter

If you backed this campaign already – thank you so much for your support! (And feel free to forward this email to folks you know who like comics about pirates and dragons and magic treasure! Word of mouth has been my only method of spreading the word about this campaign, so every share helps more than you know).

Thank you for your patience during this month while this campaign ran. We’re just about done.

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!

You. Are. Awesome.

The Legend of Jamie Roberts, Volume 1 Got Banned! Here’s the Story

I got an email this morning from a concerned citizen in Steubenville, OH. Apparently there’s a hate group trying to get The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 1 and other LGBTQ+ books banned. 

Their tactic? To get voters to reject funding for the library. (Of course they’re trying to paint this as “concern for children” and “we’re not trying to defund the library.” But they’re trying to defund the library for carrying these books.)

I’ve been reaching out to Authors Against Book Bans and some other groups about next steps.

Why am I mentioning this?

So in the main page of The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 3 on KickStarter, I wrote, “This might surprise you, considering the political moment of being a genderqueer artist in the United States making a webcomic about a genderqueer pirate…but I’m not stopping anytime soon. Come hell or high water, I’m making this comic, and I’m going to get this comic to as many readers as I can reach.”

If these book banners are trying to get me to stop making comics, it’s not working. I told some friends about the situation and one of them said, “Damn! That’s definitely gonna make people want to read your book more.”

And judging by your support of this campaign for volume freaking 3, I think we’re all in agreement – this comic needs to exist. If these people are trying to ban my book, I must be doing something right.

And that something is connecting with readers who want a story like The Legend of Jamie Roberts – a story about a genderqueer pirate and their best friends – to exist.

I wanted to share this with you for a bunch of reasons. Because I carry no shame in “concerned citizens” trying to ban my books. I care about readers who want to find my books. I believe this comic needs to exist, now more than ever. 

And because I’m so grateful for your support. Thanks to you, this comic can reach more people, especially the people who need to read it.

Thank you.

You. Are. Awesome.

P.S. Want to fight book bans? Put in requests at your local library, go to board meetings, write letters to your library board and “letters to the editors” of your local papers. Talk to your friends and encourage them to do the same. It takes effort but the effort is worth it.
