I’ve made a number of comics related to or directly influenced by the podcast @unexplained.bsky.social over the last 3 years. Paranormal comics are so fun to write and Richard’s work on Unexplained has been a huge inspiration. Read them all for free on my website: www.amoryabbott.com/illustration

@unexplained.bsky.social whoops didn’t tag it properly above

The stories from my most recent comic The Legend of Port Chatham are the topic of the latest @unexplained podcast episode! Such a fun coincidence, I LOVE this show! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/u...

THE LEGEND OF PORT CHATHAM
Buried beneath the relentless rain and towering evergreens of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula lies the remnants of Port Chatham, a mysterious abandoned village where no one dares to go. You can read the whole comic here: www.amoryabbott.com/illustration...

NO OTHER END OF THE WORLD
a comic about darkness, solitude, and a world beyond time

For over a decade, I’ve been drawing dark, dramatic landscapes in charcoal on paper, imagining an epic world shrouded in twilight. You can read the whole thing here: www.amoryabbott.com/illustration...

As Anti-Zionist Jews dedicated to collective liberation for all people, we call for an immediate halt to the Israeli government’s violent escalation of war with Iran which threatens full blown regional war.

Just finished leathercrafting my first archery quiver. It was a really fun experience designing the pattern, sourcing the leather and tools, and putting my own artistic finishing touches to the carved antelope/knotwork design on the face.

Palestinians are calling U.S.-run aid centers in Gaza “death traps” and “massacre sites” as Israeli forces continue to gun down civilians seeking food. With no alternative, many still risk the journey — knowing they might be shot.

Beef Stroganoff; a poem and zine about love and fear Beef Stroganoff My father’s favorite freeze-dried backpacking meal For years Was beef stroganoff Until the fateful day he realized It contained mushrooms. And a lifetime prejudice against all fungi ...

A few years ago I wrote a poem about how my dad didn’t like mushrooms. It felt like a microcosm of many of our human idiosyncrasies. Eventually the poem felt like good structure for an illustrated zine, so here they are together:

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Ticks, fleas, and drug dealers make the same argument

Gaza’s youngest influencer aged 11 among children killed by Israeli strikes Yaqeen Hammad offered tips for surviving life under bombardment and is just one of dozens of minors who have died

Another atrocious achievement for the U.S. officials who keep unconditional arms transfers moving.
