satellite string
Dreamed (dreamt?) of a string of satellites tracking across the night sky. Made the still sketch in to a gif to show the movement. What’s weird is, sometimes the satellites track right to left across the image as intended, but sometimes they appear to track left to right. Is that just me or is that…

dream comic
I’ve been recording my dreams for the last few months. Why? I’m not sure, exactly, but it feels foolish not to pay dreams any attention at all.

This time the idea was from the point of view of Livingston, the fish in the aquarium of Picard’s ready room, looking out at the captain. I doodled ideas in my sketchbook. Lynda Barry, I think, talks…

Trap Today’s gag (I don’t love that word, gag, does anybody have a suggestion for what to call the twist or story in a comic? Maybe turn, how about turn. Let’s try turn. Maybe it will stick.) came from the idea that everybody and I mean everybody is there waiting for Admiral Ackbar, when he…
