SBCF is over, thanks so much to everybody who got my comic and left me such thoughtful & kind messages! Now it's time for a little rest, and then on to next comic adventures... 🧙♂️⛓️
I talked about Home by the Rotting Sea, my process & creating in general for the lovely Coop Journal - be sure to check out the other interviews also, they've been a delight!

Final rt of the preview also - Shortbox Comics Fair is on for a few more hours, during which you can get this comic, - thank you very much to everybody who has so far!

A negotiation between a newly wedded couple that takes an angle not usually explored in a dynamic like this, but where it fits like a glove. And, you know, it looks THIS stunning:
