Is it here? Has the time finally come to make money off of my comics?

There’s a universe out there where @andydugganart.bsky.social and I created the sequel to Secret of the Ooze and brought Casey and Keno together for the first time. Letters by @micahmyers.bsky.social
You know how sometimes your favorite comic creator disappears from social media because they’re waiting to make a big announcement about a new project? Well?

Dakota Brown@dakotabrown.bsky.social · 2y agoSHARES APPRECIATED! I'm currently open to any comic writing work available. I've had works published through @bandofbards.bsky.social and @magmacomix.bsky.social, and am soon to be published by #Red5Comics. I'm also the 2024 ComiCrown winner for Best Original Graphic Novel. Samples available!
Hope everyone has a blast at Heroes Con! I’ll be there in spirit. When there is just one pair of footprints on your journey, it’s because my spirit has veered off to chat up an editor for work.
So much of working in comics is networking, and I’ve done a poor job of navigating the various social media apps to build a base. If you’ve read my comics, please give this a share and let people know I’ve got works ready to read.
What’s your favorite comic you read this year in the genre of “Acid Rain Apocalypse Featuring a Bible Belt Cryptid and Talking Stuffed Turtle”? Oh, it’s Absolute Batman? Well, Something Beyond the Petrichor must be a close second. All four issues are out now! Art by @neridacomic.bsky.social
Great news, comic editors and publishers! I’m open for any work-for-hire writing needs you may have! If you’re looking to add an award-winning writer to an upcoming book, feel free to reach out! #comics #indiecomics #writing
I’ll be sending out the dream comic pitch this week featuring art by @andydugganart.bsky.social and letters by @micahmyers.bsky.social Can’t chat too much about the specifics, but anyone who guesses correctly based on this image deserves a pack of cigarettes, either regular or menthol.

I got to meet @sonnystrait.bsky.social at Fanboy Expo this weekend, and got so caught up chatting about comics that I forgot to mention how much I adore his performance as Krillin (the best DBZ character, let’s all admit). Thanks for being so cool, Sonny!
🎵 Yoohoo publishers and editors! 🎵
