  • I won something! July 8, 2018
    It had been a little while since I actually won an award, though I’ve been nominated a few times. This time, kids did the voting! Phoebe was voted “Bravest Hero” (For The Magic Storm) at the Kids’ Comics Awards, at the Ann Arbor Comic Arts Festival. (Which, by the way, I should attend some time. […]

  • I am interviewed by children December 1, 2017
    One child, anyway. A little girl named Katy, in Massachussetts. She wrote a letter to her local paper, the Daily Hampshire Gazette, asking them to please pick up ‘Phoebe and Her Unicorn.’ Not only did they, but they let her ask me some interview questions. And she really nailed it. Read about it here!   […]

  • The gay unicorn agenda July 26, 2017
    Did you catch the reveal of Max’s parents in this week’s strips? I’ve actually known all along that Max has lesbian parents. I’ve been waiting for years for it to come up organically. And it actually did in the forthcoming Phoebe and Her Unicorn In: The Magic Storm, which is due out in October. So […]

  • School Library Journal June 28, 2017
    SLJ’s Brigid Alverson interviewed me for a great article about LGBTQ representation in comics. I’m quoted in the article, but I said a lot more, and apparently it was interesting enough that she also published the whole interview. Read more →

    I wish I could go back in time to the late 90’s and start a dot com. It didn’t matter if the idea was cr*p or all you had was a laptop; they would throw money at you. Heck, the dogfood-by-mail company pets.com never made anything- and investors gave them 300 million.

    The person I am most envious of is the kid who came up with milliondollarhomepage.com, he sold his page to advertisers for $1 PER PIXEL.

      Probably the dumbest idea ever to come out of that era was Kozmo,com. Yeah, like an online CONVENIENCE STORE was ever going to fly.

      Well it’s easy to look back at the dot com boom and say “Look how dumb we were back then” but in all honesty, the internet was a new thing at the time. Every time a new good or service that is profitable comes out, people will rush to invest in it. Then that particular market goes through what many economists call the creative destructive process were the bad business models go out of business but the good ones stay and prosper.

      Like I said, people love to laugh at the dot.com boom but look at what came out of it. Amazon, Youtube, Google, Facebook. Heck if it wasn’t for the dot.com boom, I don’t think Dana Simpson would be able to easily post her comics online.
