    Mermaid’s Hook is now live at Podcastle! Woohoo! A magnificent introduction by Ann Leckie, a dreamy reading by Julia Rios plus some lovely end notes by Dave Thompson.

    Comic 130! Comic 130!!!!!!! I promised I would make 130 comics by June 23 and I did it! For a bit I was drawing a comic every day and zooming ahead like a machine, then (just as a wise writer told me this was probably not a good long term strategy) my drawing fell over…
