Check out the steaming pile of AI garbage that just won $1,000 first prize in the Ohio State Fair poster contest. It's especially tragic since the 5th place, drawn by an actual human, is great. Rooster (OH fair has biggest poultry show in US) riding the "butter cow" (exactly what it sounds like).

If you like cosmic horror like I do, especially with a satirical slant, like I do, then check out Jason Pargrin’s writing. For the record, unlike other Michael Swaims, I’ve never worked with him. I just like his writing and promo videos—he’s a much better promoter of his work than I am of mine.

There is a bitter debate over whether I am very good or very bad at book promotion but I do not think history will judge me kindly bit.ly/crabscrabscrabs

It’s funny how Blue Sky crops my comic to the center four panels in the preview. Not complaining l- just find it amusing since it tells the same story, just abbreviated. lol

NEW COMIC! Cryptid Caper- please read post! Today marks 400 Dani and Lulu comics! To celebrate, this is a double sized issue- 8 panels and a special guest! This milestone means the world to me. I never thought I’d make it this far. Please like & share this comic if you enjoy it. #daniandlulucomic

Panel 1: Nighttime in the woods, framed through a camcorder’s “REC” view. Dani says, “I hope we find cryptid tonight.” Lulu says, “Everything’s a cryptid on this planet to me.” Panel 2: Still in the camcorder view. A shape appears behind a log near the pizza bait. Tiny eyes reflect in the moonlight. Dani says, “Something’s there! It’s going for the bait, get a light on it!” Panel 3: The light reveals a raccoon. Lulu shouts, “AAAAHHH!!” Dani adds, “It’s a raccoon! So round! So adorable!” Panel 4: Close‑up of the raccoon hissing and lunging at the camera. Text reads, “HISSSSSSS.” Panel 5: The raccoon has the camcorder, shaking the frame as it makes a run for it. Panel 6: The raccoon runs off carrying the camcorder. Lulu says, “Well, there goes our cryptid evidence.” Panel 7: Dani and Lulu stand together in the dark. Dani says, “I’m too overwhelmed by the cuteness to care.” Lulu replies, “Same.” Panel 8: The round raccoon holds the camera and says to a group of other raccoons, “This is my report on cryptids”. The other raccoons respond, “OOOOOOOOOOH!”
