Heroes Con 2026 was a blast! I’m so grateful for all the wonderful friends and creators I was able to see this year. We left with so many great prints, sketches, commissions, zines, and more!
Two iconic film characters by two wonderful artists. Thanks @thekylestarks.bsky.social and @schweizercomics.bsky.social for the commissions at Heroes Con! 🎨
It’s been a long time, but we never stopped cookin’. Bacon Lad returns next week with all-new strips! 🥓 In the meantime, you can support Bacon Lad: A Crime-fighting Strip by ordering some merch from our online shop! 🔗 shop.baconlad.com
This past month, I’ve been reading through Gerry Conway’s Spectacular Spider-Man and Web of Spider-Man run from the 1980s and it has quickly become one of my favorites for the character. Conway had such a good grasp of characterization and tone in his stories.
RIP Gerry Conway.
Loved chatting about these wonderful stories!

Hey, ya’ll, this summer is flying by! Slow it down by going back to a seemingly simpler time when all felt safe and warm but was, in reality, oh so treacherous and fraught with uncertainty. “Fallout” by @brandonclarkson.com is coming for you this Sunday, 7/27!
There’s plenty more where that came from! We’re cookin’ up a new batch of Bacon Lad strips—coming soon to a menu near you. 🥓 In the meantime, you can support Bacon Lad: A Crime-fighting Strip by ordering some merch from our online shop! 🔗 shop.baconlad.com

Whatever comes, let it come. Whatever stays, let it stay. Whatever goes, let it go.
In addition to silly webcomics, I also write macabre short fiction about mental illness, family, and the things that scare me the most. My recent short story "Nothing To Do With Love" is available to read online in Marrow Magazine. 🔗 marrowmagazine.com/nothing-to-d...
