as promised, here's @parkdalecryptid.bsky.social explaining their artistic process to us 💖💖

by popular demand, I will be drawing both me (Mae! @suswave.bsky.social) and Dakota (@volcanicdynamo.bsky.social) on the left, absolutely swooning

The meme where someone is enthusiastically explaining something with their arm around someone else who looks somewhat disoriented, but the explainer has a nose ring, a septum ring, and a sleeveless punk jacket covered in patches and embroidery. The meme text reads: SEE IT'S COMPELLING BECAUSE HERONS AREN'T CARRION BIRDS SO THE FACT THAT THE HERON IS EATING FLESH IS ACTUALLY

our incredible artist, @parkdalecryptid.bsky.social, explaining their artistic choices 😘

The cover of Drive All Night: Ictus. Various trash covers a car floor, including a cosentyx autoinjector, estradiol bottles, a crushed pack of cigarettes with a lucky cigarette upright within, a lighter, a banana peel, chapstick, loose change, loose pills, and more. A sharp red pulse splays out across the cover. The authors are: Amelia Volkman, Mae July McCrindle, and Dakota June Hernandez. The title is "Drive All Night: Ictus."

A piece of apparent moose flesh explodes through a cloud of steam on an open road. A truck drives through the pile with a license plate that reads "DANISUX." Behind the truck, the meat begins to reform. Dialogue => Dani: FU– • FFFFWWWSSSHHHH • Dani: Uh.

A comic page. Panel 1: Two hands pass a cigarette over blooming red flowers. Panel 2: An apparent heron picks through the swamp for something to eat. Dialogue => Dani: Oh! Shit! I didn't know that! • Mira: Don't be an asshole. • Dani: No, this totally explains everything. • Dani: It's the cruelty. • Dani: Not my body fucking tearing itself apart! Dialogue => Dani: FU– • FFFFWWWSSSHHHH • Dani: Uh.

A comic page. Full page of the heron tearing apart red flesh, droplets floating around its head. Dialogue => Mira: Dani... • Mira: I don't... want that for you. • Dani: ...

barreling forth at the speed of meat...

it's even more praxis to acknowledge and correct grave typesetting errors

panel: red sinews weave through flowering grass. a cigarette is stubbed out between the blooms. A red speech bubble reads: "...waiting to die isn't a plan."

it's praxis to give the tortured closet futch who haunts your heart her own font

always do the meat gambit

A comic page from DRIVE ALL NIGHT: ICTUS. Two characters argue through a barbed red pulse. • Panel 1: A glimpse of a hand on a steering wheel, two air fresheners dangling from the mirror. Dani: "...I have a fucking plan. You just don't like it." • Panel 2: A cigarette butt in red grass with budding flowers. ???: "...waiting to die isn't a plan." • Panel 3: Dani's eyes in the rearview, welling with tears. Dani: "Well neither is waiting to live."

Dani hits the road in her beat-up truck, determined to outrun her problems. As she rattles through the wilderness, the wilds rattle back, and a badly-buried ache asserts itself.

👁️ DRIVE ALL NIGHT: ICTUS makes irreparable contact with the pavement in 2026.

Thrilled beyond belief to get dead horses in the mail this morning!

oh, and also the print edition of Dead Horses by @goblinstunts.bsky.social. which is equally thrilling!

Follow us for an unshakable sense of peripheral doubt, escalating meat gambits, and devastating want in the flowering grass.

A comic page from Drive All Night: Ictus. A chunk of flesh with an eye in it flies across the page. Strange steam rises from the road. A truck with a license plate that says DANISUX drives past, meat writhing up behind it.

A comic page from Drive All Night: Ictus. A voicemail from somebody's mom plays, dripping over vignettes of depression and determination.

A comic page from Drive All Night: Ictus. Some kind of heron tears at meat under the stars while someone pleads with Dani.
