this is still my wife's favorite work of mine

Realized that in March, it will have been ten years since my first published comic came out. Written by @kibblesmith.com and @eliotrahal.bsky.social. I’m better at art now but I think I could always draw a fun comic. Hopefully I can do something like this again.

Over the weekend, we hit a milestone on our YT channel. 200 videos. Unreal. We’re going to keep cranking out awesome stuff and would love you to be along for the ride, so hop on over and subscribe!

It’s near the end of the year, and we just dropped off a batch of our fake #chicktract #lifesajoke (by @eliotrahal.bsky.social and @jkotz.bsky.social) at @downinthevalleymn.bsky.social! They are also carrying a bunch of our #vinyl releases, so go get some! Tracts are free, #lps are not.

Everyone acts like an AI future is certain, but I literally just watched a commercial advertising settlements for people who were exposed to asbestos, and I'm pretty sure they don't sell cocaine over the counter anymore.

Sorry to SPOIL -- But personally, my favorite part of Stranger Things was when Hopper—our hero—killed all those highly trained soldiers when six years ago he could barely drink his beer without running out of breath.

If anyone wants a read give me a shout

1941: FDR OFFICIALLY CLAPS BACK AGAINST HITLER.

SPOILER ALERT -- everyone in the Summer I Turned Pretty is a dream from Conrad's wristwatch.

#DontForgetYourBriefcase #2 by @eliotrahal.bsky.social & @phillipsevy.bsky.social Katrina Milfer accidentally winds up with the Atomic Football after the assassination. It was revealed that she is a Soviet agent. Col. Honken must find her before it's too late. Tongue in cheek spy story. Recommend.

The television show Arthur is actually set in hell.

Gonna frame this photo of Phil posing for... Research...

Art Process for DON'T FORGET YOUR BRIEFCASE #1 cover from @eliotrahal.bsky.social @madcavestudios.com & myself! Finished, inks, pencils, and photo reference. Issues 1 & 2 are out now! Reviewers/interviewers - I've got PDFs if you're interested in covering the series! Hit me up!

Love how liberals are like: "Why's he deploying the National Guard to police D.C.? Crime isn't even that bad there." And it's like, how baked do you have to be? It wouldn't matter if that shit were run by the Foot Clan, the Hand, & every Dick Tracy villain in the world—Soldiers aren't fucking cops.

"Klaatu barada nikto." THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL is, for my money, one of the most subversive films of all time. Anti-Empire. Anti-Nuclear War. How this thing got made during the heyday of the Hayes Code and the fever pitch of the Cold War is beyond me—it captured my imagination as a child.

The number of times I use "Well..." In a comic. Ugh.

Hey! Don't Forget Your Briefcase #2 is out TODAY! @eliotrahal.bsky.social and I (along with @wksahadewa.bsky.social & @gofrankgo.bsky.social) worked really hard on this book. Reviewers/Podcasters/Etc - wanna read it? Hit me up and I'll send you some PDFs! Would love more people to be aware of it!

Talking with Anton is always a joy. Always nice to meet a kindred spirit. Makes the world a little bit less lonely. Pick up Don't Forget Your Briefcase #2 — Out TODAY! (I'll probably keep posting about this in order to break the algorithm).

In this episode of Anton Talks @antonkromoff.com and @eliotrahal.bsky.social discuss life, death, and @madcavestudios.com's "Don't Forget Your Briefcase."

Lots of laughs, profanity, and existential dread await you at the link >> tinyurl.com/z6z6jd3r

Longtime fan of both of these people. Gonna put this picture in my wallet and call them my sons.

#DontForgetYourBriefcase #1 by @eliotrahal.bsky.social & @phillipsevy.bsky.social. You get the history of the Atomic Football, the briefcase that allows the US President access to fire nuclear weapons. Good setup with a twist ending. Story reminds me of the book, The Mouse That Roared. Recommend.
