Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

The statement on the chapbook will read: "The creators of this comic support human creativity, imagination, and art. Proceeds from some sales of this chapbook will go to efforts encourage sustainability, community in opposition to the technocratic state and also in opposition to generative AI."

Sneak peek at a comic Theo Ellsworth is creating from a short story of mine, which is all about owls. I'll be doing an Oct. event at White Oak Books in Vancouver, Washington, to debut it. Some of the proceeds will go to a worthy charity / organization.

Two panels:

Until the day the dog dug her bones up and scattered them all across the neighborhood - dog with bone in mouth on sidewalk confronted by surprised woman with grocery bag full of vegetables.

If this seemed vindictive, he had his reasons - Dog on grass with skull in front of a bush while two people look on aghast.

I have been writing anywhere I could squat, sit, or stand - from halfway across the world and in between - but tonight’s the first time I’ve sat at my desk to work in a few weeks+. Life’s been so damn hard and also incredibly generous (especially in this project). Good things are comin’. #writing
