This is going to be exactly what’s going on across all major American sports, as the sports have made a mockery of themselves by pasting corporate slogans on behalf of the Democrat party all over their playing surfaces. Nielsen Media Research reports that 5.6 million viewers tuned in to ABC to watch the Los Angeles […]
Blacklisted Again For How I Vote
Yesterday, I lost a comic artist for a project because of how I vote. It’s unbelievable how disgusting people can be in 2020 to go stalk folks’ social media profile for their political and religious preferences in order to try to cancel someone, in this case, the artist in question is Michael Dorman, a white […]
More Streaming Pedophilia
Netflix’s Cuties had some of the most disturbing imagery ever shown in promotional material, backed by extremely questionable content that makes people ask — how far is this culture going to go in trying to normalize the sexualization of children? As with so much in our society, the slippery slope is real and continuing to […]
Vox Day Is Wrong About Journalists
Vox Day is famous for saying “don’t talk to journalists”, as it’s almost invariably a trap to force their narrative and twist your words to make you look bad. Unfortunatley, in 2020, his advice is proving not to be enough. You should never even be anywhere remotely in the vicinity of a journalist, or the […]
White People Are Sure Mad At Kanye!
Kanye West posted a picture of someone writing him in on the Presidential ballot this morning… And the comments are the best part. It’s mostly white people shrieking about how a vote for Kanye is a vote for Trump, trying to socially shame anyone for supporting Mr. West. As a minority myself, I endorse Mr. […]
We expanded our comic line in August by publishing Napalm Brothers #1 by Sixth Scale Combat. This is one of the better indie books on the scene with a gorgeous art style and a crazy action-packed bizarro plot. Issue 2 picks up right where issue 1 left off with even more wild twists and turns […]
Why Do Churches Never Shame Real Sins?
One thing I’ve been coming across over and over in this “online world” of church where pastors are trying to be YouTube stars only cringier, rather than actually building a local flock that’s together in a meaningful way, is that churches love to just talk about the social cause of the moment, amplifying the same […]
D&D Is Triggered By Their Own Game System
When we can’t acknowledge that differences exist between people in real life, we definitely can’t acknowledge that fantasy creatures have differences, because, we have to take everything to extremes in 2020. D&D announced they would be removing all negative racial modifiers to the games. You know, like Orcs getting -1 intelligence, or Dwarves -1 Dexterity. […]
What’s With Comic Book People?
I haven’t been the target of much hate in awhile, but I was talking with a comic professional this morning who’s dipping out of the industry and working on other things simply because he takes so much abuse he doesn’t want to be around comic books. The guy’s a mega-talent, does amazing work, but it’s […]
Flying Sparks Pre-Orders
I’ve got a pre-order store up for those who missed the campaign or just want to get in on some signed books. This will be live only until I go to print in the next two to three weeks. Buy books here.
Pray For The President
I could blog about anything today but it wouldn’t hold as much importance as this message. You probably already are, this isn’t something new or different, but we all need to be praying without cease. This is more than a battle with a virus, it’s a spiritual battle and this is a culmination of a […]
Using Culture To Spread The Gospel
My good friend L. Jagi Lamplighter-Wright made a beautiful post yesterday over on the Superversive blog. When Jon Del Arroz first confessed to me that it had come to him that he should consider evangelizing fandom, I admired the idea, but I thought it would be impossible. After all, is there a greater collection of […]
It’s Not Just A Comic
The best part about backing my books, is your’e not just helping to produce a single comic, waiting for a year, hoping there will be something else. You’re making an entire comic line of MONTHLY books happen. When we started all of this, the whole point was to create a real industry alternative which would […]
The “Conservative Take” On Taxes
In many ways, Coulter is right in that the tax code is such a mess, so difficult to comprehend, so easy to abuse for people with substantive amounts of money (or corporations likewise), that something needs to be done, and yet the politicians on both sides of the aisle will do nothing about it because […]
Comic Culture Change Starts HERE!
Three years ago, we started a movement to change the culture through comics. It started with an observation — the entire industry through Marvel and DC had gone completely haywire in what they were producing, who they were hiring, and most importantly who they were not hiring. It seemed they weren’t interested in actual talent […]
Our Culture Used To Be Incredible
I walked through what used to be Nashville’s main train station back in the early 1900s. The building was giant, constructed like a gothic church with the most elegant of designs. It took real craftsmanship which can be seen from the outside: Just imagining workers putting care and craftsmanship like this today is almost unheard […]
The Best Chicken In Nashville
Over the last two days I’ve sampled some of the best eateries in Nashville, here trying to find the best fried chicken rather than the best brisket like in Texas. First took me to one of the oldest Hot Chicken outlets in the city (probably the 2nd made): Boltons was a little building here with […]
The Train Keeps Rollin’
This week I’m headed out to Nashville (well, I’m already here) which was our scheduled vacation before the whole California smoke thing happened. Should be a lot of fun, and since the food blog was so popular last week, I’ll be continuing with a bit of that this week. This is my favorite place on […]
Copyright Law
I was talking on twitter this weekend about copyright law and how it favors corporate entertainment in our culture. Really, it’s set up to defend Disney at all costs. Laws are changed, the “what’s copyright and what’s not” is vague and open to immense lawsuits where corporations can defend and make it not worthwhile for […]
Almost to $10K!
It’s time to make a push this weekend. Flying Sparks is almost at $10K and your pledge can help us get over the top for some beautiful new back cover art to be added to the book. We need your help! This is the best indie comic out there and the only book which has […]
Austin Food Part 3: Franklin Barbecue
Franklin Barbecue has to be the most talked about place in Austin as far as food goes. It’s supposed to be the pinnacle of BBQ in the entire world, at least, Texas BBQ. People line up for 3-5 hours, get there at absurd times in the morning just to try to snag the meat before […]
Kanye To Culture: NO MORE WOKE!
If anyone has their finger on the cultural button, thinking ahead into the future, it’s Kanye West. We’ve seen the radical transformation in his life, and the man has a gift of prophecy which is undeniable. When he starts going on about “woke culture”, people need to, pardon the expression, wake up. This element of […]
A Taste of Austin Part 2: Tacos And New American
After my robust BBQ ribs, I was not hungry at all yesterday. That didn’t stop me from eating. My lunch stop was Veracruz All Natural Tacos, oddly situated as a food truck out in a residential district. Apparently they have 3 or 4 locations of these food trucks scattered throughout Austin. It’s a weird set […]
The Search For Best Barbecue In Austin Part 1: Salt Lick
You didn’t realize you were looking at a food blog, did you? Well, for folk who have been here long enough, you learn that I write about whatever the heck I feel like at the time, and right now, it’s great BBQ food. When I travel, I do an immense amount of research on the […]
