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 →

    But… but language changes all the time!

      Language may change, but there are already ways to emphasize a word without misusing quotation marks and using apostrophes incorrectly just makes you look like a dunce. After all, there is a difference between it’s and its for a reason.

        to be honest it’s should be spelled differently altogether, the use of an apostrophe in a contraction is rational iff the contraction is not so common as to constitute a common construct or to be assumed in writing. however the contraction it is, should not be confused with its.

        c when pronounced as a soft s, in my view should never be written c except before e. ch ought to not to be pronounced k. words taken from foreign languages should retain accents in accordance to the original spelling.

        Also not all change in language is innately good, e.g. I think that the loss of productivity, is actually a loss of expressiveness.
        since you both seam to disagree, their are some spelling reforms that would at-least make some sense.
        as for spelling reform, as for plural, streets’/breadz’ would be more aesthetically pleasing, than always using the same plural suffix. ŋ or ŋg should in all casses of ng, where ng is pronounce ŋ/ŋ.g, in order to retain a more distinctive shape, ŋ would become ŋŋ when used as at the end of a complete word. the letter þorn should be reintroduced. actually we should probably reinstate all letters lost in senseless spelling reforms.

          I think the quotes thing is partly due to people who are used to TV Tropes markup. In that, single quote marks doubled up are used to create italics, and I for one have caught myself doing that in other forums.

    What annoys me is that hardly anyone uses adverbs anymore. It seems that adding the -ly to a word is too much effort. What also annoys me is people who dont understand how to use apostrophe’s.

    Weird Al Yankovic did a better written song with this concept. It’s called “Word crimes.”
