I’m really excited to present Glowing Hearts, my new comic. I’ve been working on it for a few weeks now, and am going to try to upload 3 pages a week, as long as I can. I hope you enjoy[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Ugwahoa!
Fun fact: I didn’t actually choose a name for this character while writing this chapter, so they never introduce themselves fully.
Incredible Shrinking Shelley
If you want to read the entire comic now, or just encourage me, you can grab it for a dollar at this link. If you just want to wait to read it here I’m totally cool with that too, no[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A Warning of Sorts
Checkov’s handsaw in the corner there. Reminder that if you want to read this all right now, you can, for a dollar.
It would’ve been really easy to make a Rolling Stones reference instead of a Hot Hot Heat reference, too bad Hot Hot Heat is both better and vastly more Canadian.
Knock it off if it’s no big deal
Did I look up what AM meant for this comic? Yes. Writer’s secret: there are answers to many questions online!
Doing this “next time” graphic on this page has prevented me from splitting the next issue into two. So get ready for issue 2, which is 60 pages long. Next week will have the side B of Shelley’s driving mix[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This chapter was originally supposed to be less than 30 pages long, but I think you’ll be surprised to find out how long it wound up being. I’m about 20 pages deep into the book and the full thing will[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It happens all the time. All of this. All of it happens. Constantly.
My schedule was delayed by a day this week because I forgot to post a page on Tuesday. No reason why, just forgot. I’ll post a page tomorrow, though. If you care to purchase the entire thing now instead of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If you care to purchase the entire thing now instead of reading it page by page between now and October, you can grab it here!
Hey you think there’s any dramatic irony in this page? No? Me either! While You’re still welcome to buy this if you want, from a value standpoint I should let you know there’s only three weeks of updates after this.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Not ready
I may wind up having issue 3 done before I’m done posting issue 2? That’s kind of astonishing to me.
You can buy a copy if you want, or you can wait a few weeks to grab issue 3. Live your life how you want.

Doing two pages this week and then two pages next week to finish this issue off, because they work better as a pair, instead of you having to wait until next Wednesday for the last page.
Catch this feeling or catch these hands
Guess the girl really couldn’t help it
Wow! That’s the narrative for the second issue, which I have been posting since May it turns out. Thank you to everyone who read this issue, special thanks to those who bought it and I’m sorry to the people who’ve[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Continue on to Chapter 3 And that’s this issue! Thank you so much for reading! I will be back on November 6th with issue 3. It’s very possible Issue 3 will be ready for purchase before it even goes up[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
03: Crown on the Ground
Hope you voted as left-leaning as you can or not at all today! This week’s pages are sorta pre-book, and I wanna double check the issue after letting it sit a week, but if you want to purchase it before[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Perhaps? Possibly? These Are the Characters?
You can purchase this issue now if you would like! I just got done doing some touch up work on it like an hour ago. I’m planning to add a special zine to either this or next issue depending on[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve heard of CHUCK ROCK before, but CHUCK LOG?
You can purchase this issue now if you would like! Note: This page has been edited to fix a continuity error regarding a future chapter. I haven’t added it to the gumroad version yet, as I’m trying to compile the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today is the 1 year anniversary of when I started posting my comic! Thank you for reading it, if you have. If you haven’t: Why do you come here and just look at the blog postings?
A Glowing Profile
Congratulations, site visitors, you are literally the only people who are able to see this post as it’s meant to be seen. Granted, there’s no real difference in how it is read as a whole, but still! You can purchase[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
We’re officially at the point where I should let you know that there is not enough comic left for me to hard pitch you buying the rest of it, but you can if you’d like.

I’ll be honest: I didn’t really intend for Glowing Hearts to mean anything or even come up in dialog. I just thought it evoked the feeling I was going for with my comic.
Dig Me Out
We still have a little wrap-up next week, but for all intents and purposes, issue 4 is done. I hope you enjoyed it! Next month is more social media comics while I work on issues 5, 6 and 7, which[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I don’t have many pages done but I should be able to keep up! Sorry for any future delays if they happen.
I might be jumping the gun just a touch on this, as I have a LOT of work to do on the comic still, but I believe I should be able to start posting this… NOW! Please note: I have[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Just about to start drawing the next chapter and might end up having it done before the holidays, and it’s going to be SO HARD not to show you until I hit it in my schedule. ALSO full disclosure now:[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A Man Called Football 2
An aspect about how I write my comic that could, in no way, come through in the text is that sometimes music is playing in the background that I’m not acknowledging in the comic, and in this specific page the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Can I borrow and possibly destroy your phone?
Sometimes I’ll use 3D models to make sure the proportions in my comic are correct and what I’ve learned from this is that foreshortening looks fake, even in real life.
The Piggle and the Penguin
I didn’t know that the Mortal Kombat techno song was made by Lords of Acid under a pseudonym until I was looking it up for this page.
I suffer from a low grade kind of insomnia. On a good day I probably sleep about 4.5 hours. Today I got maybe 1.5 hours of incredibly unrestful sleep. That’s why I didn’t feel like color correcting the indexed version[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Speech’s Pit
600 Years worth of Advice Condensed Into One Word
I go out of my way to draw Dietrius’ reaction to each character, even when they’re cut off by word bubbles.
Thank you for reading this chapter. I’ll be back next month some time with the next one. I’ll have little bits and baubles for you in the mean time, or, possibly, I won’t. Comics is work.
1020 – On The Lookout for a Cookout
Any time you hear people tell some beleaguered group to “if you don’t like it just move!” remind them that moving sucks. We just moved and I’ve barely been able to stand up the last few days. And we only[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
1105 – You better declare yourself before you scare yourself
Is “auto-magically” something someone’s child said by mistake and now people use it seriously in documentation?
1119 – what’s it to you?
I’m still a month out from finishing this chapter here, which is great because I have no idea how I’m going to post the next chapter. It’s a slightly different format. We’ll see. I know how it’s SUPPOSED to be[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I don’t know if I’ll do a chapter without Shelley, like I have with Dexter and Jessica, but you have to give characters an out if you want to.
1126 – Well they certainly aren’t for calling anyone.
You’re not just getting old wrestling deep cuts in this comic, you’re getting MODERN ones too. When I compile the collections, don’t be super surprised if this set of pages has full backgrounds. They take a little bit to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I don’t remember what this was meant to set-up later. I’ll use this information for something eventually. Sorry to reveal that some of these random lore interludes are just throwing things at the wall.
I debated with myself about how to approach posting this, but: I’m going to start uploading my comic as it’ll appear in the collection, eventually culminating in the posting of chapter 12. However, that’s not the only new content. Starting[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Full disclosure: I do not think I had settled on a name for Dexter until after I had started publishing this comic. I may have been midway through writing chapter 2 when I thought of the naming convention Dexter’s mom[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
GH-B1-026 Saying Settle Down Hasn’t Worked Somehow!
In canon Shelley uses the good f-word interchangeably with “um” as many people from North Western Illinois do.
