Image description A black and white 4 panel comic with grey shading.

1st panel: A person in winter clothing (me) is walking down a train platform and holding a phone. My speech bubble says "Ok I'm at the train station...where are you?" From the phone, a speech bubble says "The other platform."

2nd panel: I look across the platform to see small stick figures across the way, none of whom are distinguishable. My two speech bubbles say, "I still don't see you...can you like / wave or something?"

3rd panel: A silent animated panel where one of the stick figures on the other platform starts dancing and jumping around.

4th panel: The same shot, except I'm gone from the closer platform and speed lines indicate I've run to the other platform, where I embrace the previously dancing stick figure. My speech bubble says "Jake!" with hearts floating around it.



Happy to announce that my short comic is included in Thank You For Joining The Algorithm, an anti-AI anthology celebrating human creativity in the face of the dreaded machine overlords. It's full of fiction, poetry, a few comics (like mine!), art, and even a logic puzzle! Pre-orders on the website are open now -- it's less than $20!



my fancomic of the comic story @Boog drew and his wife wrote in the horror anthology, From the Static. Their comic is "Memoirs of a Ghost-Hunter" and it's horror and also homosexual. I continued the homosexuality by making them married eternally bound (I made this for friend's wedding!)

Page 1 of a black and white comic. In panel 1, a tall man lightly punches a nervous-looking, shorter man's arm. The taller man says, "Gotta say, Scott, you sure are taking me being an unfathomable demon in stride." The shorter man, Scott, says, "Well, you're still my friend, Joe. Nothing will change that."
In panel 2, the taller man, Joe, looks serious and says, "...Speaking of which..."
In panel 3, Scott looks confused while, off-panel, Joe continues, "I wanted to ask you something."
Panel 4 only shows their shoes. Joe stands still, and his shadow has tentacles and stars. He says, "Do you want to bind my eldritch powers to your everlasting soul?" Scott steps backward and says, "Uh - what does that do?"
The last panel, 5, is large and most of it is black ink with white galaxies and stars, with a very small silhouette of Joe and Scott below. Joe says, "It means we'd forever share in my vast abilities and your Earthly knowledge. We'd slip through the cracks in dimensions with ease together and explore them as we wish, and you'd never die with me by your side."
Page 2 of a black and white comic. In panel 1, Joe is a black, grinning, demonic silhouette with horns, tentacles, and too many eyes. His monstrous clawed hand reaches forward and his speech bubbles are dripping as he says, "So, whaddya say? You wanna?"
In panel 2, he is in the same pose but has reverted to a human form, looking disappointed. Off-screen, Scott says, "Well - I don't know about all of that..."
In panel 3, Scott looks thoughtful and says, "Seems a little intense...but I (emphasis) do like hanging out with you,"
In panel 4, Joe looks happier. Scott, off-panel, continues, "and I trust you."
In panel 5, Scott brightens up and says excitedly, "So, what the hell!"
In panel 6, Scott shakes Joe's hand and says, "I do!"
In the last panel, 7, their joined hands burst into flame, startling and scaring Scott. The sound effect says, "Foosh".
Page 3, the last page, of a black and white comic. In panel 1, a wind containing hints of demonic wings, tentacles, and eyes, surrounds Joe and Scott in a ring-like shape. Scott looks scared and says, "Joe! What's happening?!" Joe, looking like a demonic silhouette again, says, "Don't worry dude! It's just the primeval forces of the multithousand planes bearing witness to our eternal binding! It'll be over quick."
In panel 2, the wind is gone and the tentacles recede on the edges of the page. Joe looks normal again and is still holding hands with Scott. Joe says, "There, see? No big." Scott exhales heavily and says, "Phew, that was terrifying. What now?"
Panel 3 only shows Scott's torso as Joe's other hand pulls Scott closer to him. Question marks and exclamation are drawn around Scott's body, indicating confusion. Off-panel, Joe says, "Now..."
The last panel, 4, is a close up of Joe and Scott, who are nose-to-nose and are both blushing. Joe has subtle goat eyes and sharp teeth and smiles as he says, "Honeymoon time." Scott is overwhelmed and says "what" in tiny letters.

I think that reading my comic works without reading theirs, but I definitely recommend getting the anthology as my friend's inks are gorgeous and his wife's writing is great.
