How’s it going, Hive! It’s a big day here in my personal life. Every year, I come up with these big, seemingly unobtainable goals, then attempt to overcome them. It’s a trust building exercise for myself, I think. In 2018, it was releasing a book. 2019, it was going to Australia and New Zealand. This year, it was finishing, funding and shipping a comic book! My friend Charles and I started a horror anthology almost two years ago called 
This was a huge milestone for me and Charles. He and I met in 2010. He was a struggling writer, and I was a struggling comic book artist, and to be fair, we both still are. Somewhat less struggling, though, as we were both able to raise upwards of $3,600 for what is essentially a zine. There was countless hours of writing and illustration, character and world development and dialog within these pages. Doing a comic like this is much, much harder than you’d think, and that’s from a guy that’s wanted to do this his entire life.
Quite a few in our community supported and backed this comic during the funding drive, and it was so great to write out addresses for 
This afternoon, after hand writing addresses till my wrist and finger tips felt broken, I brought the entire bin to UPS and mailed them out. When Charles and I wrote this horror story, we weren’t anticipating everyone reading it during a global pandemic, but I hope when it arrives, it gives a momentary escape from the stress of what we’re all going through regarding COVID-19.
