I admit that back in the day I used to wish I'd be hired on as an editor for Rippaverse, but now I don't think I could stomach having to fool people into thinking their past books are any good.

Stop Maligning PPP Loans!
I can believe it when poor and middle-class people don't understand PPP loans, but when wealthy people don't understand them (and why they're morally okay), it boggles the mind.

CYBERFROG 2: Stop Stepping on Yourself!
A little layering in a comic book page can be good. An excess of layering is usually not good. Here's an example from CYBERFROG 2: REKT PLANET where the art and captions get in their own way.
(NOTE: Eric Weathers is the letterer of CYBERFROG 2: REKT PLANET, not its colorist Kyle Ritter.)

The YAIRA #1 Campaign Is Live! (And So Am I!)
It's finally here! The YAIRA #1 campaign is live, so I'll be taking a look at the live-action trailer (which has already given me a crippling round of laughter from its thumbnail alone) and all the books and merch available to buy on the campaign page! What will *I* be buying this time??

I'll have to check out Rumble Studio, Streamyard, or some other streaming platform -- probably after I get a new laptop!
