If you want to hear two Matts talk about just about everything other than the book they're supposed to be talking about before doing their best to decipher said book, this is the podcast episode for you.

On this episode of DOES THIS COME IN CHROMIUM the great @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social and I visit the Doctor (Occult, that is) for a check-up that goes every way but expected. So open up and say ah while listening to us discuss 1994’s VERTIGO VISIONS: DOCTOR OCCULT! sites.libsyn.com/601360/site/...

Amelia (the cat) is very tired from helping me promote Amelia (the book) all day yesterday. And by "helping" I mean wandering in and out of my office and demanding attention and window time and pets and then some wet food. It's exhausting being a freelance kitty.

Eeeeeeeeee! It's my favorite part of making comics. My friends sending me photos of themselves on the way home from the bookstore with my book in hand. I have the best friends ever. They're so incredibly supportive. It genuinely makes me so happy.

If you're heading to the bookstore to pick up AMELIA SHADOWS AND THE MONSTER IN THE BOX (which I hope you do), might I recommend buying my friends Tilly & Susan's new book, toooo (which I hope you will)?

New Patreon post / Free Book! :) With @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social's invaluable assistance as a cover artist, I've made an ebook of the writeups for our pulpy two-year #MasksOfNyarlathotep campaign that recently ended. It is very, *very* funny, sometimes poignant, & a great adventure. 🥰

This is a feeling I know very, very well. I've been dealing with it a LOT the last couple of years. And I want Ted & Ro to get all the Worst Man sequels they want to do. No pressure, everyone. But... you know... we should definitely buy it when it comes out.

Ted (& technically Ro)@brandtandstein.com · 6d ago

I will be honest, I need Worst Man to do well because I have a genuinely desperate need for us to make the sequels and it turns out making Worst Man alongside other work is enough to break us a bit
