Has there ever been a more iconic entrance? Rest in peace, Tim Curry.
Prince and David Bowie died in four months in 2016 then we got Brexit, Trump, and COVID-19. Dolly Parton and Tim Curry within a day in 2026? We're doomed. I want them all back 💔
I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Tim Curry as Frank N Furter literally saved lives. If anyone tells you art isn't important, or it's silly, or you feel like it's a waste of time, imagine how the cast of Rocky Horror must have felt on that first night, and then what an impact it made. Don't dream it. Be it. Thank you, Tim Curry 💜

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.
I miss websites as standard user endpoints. It's crazy how "There's an app for that" got us all excited, but it was really a way to bind us into platform ecosystems when we could have been using a free and open internet all along. Most apps are just website wrappers these days anyway.
