I’ve got a comic in this month’s Boston Compass, and for the next six issues - do check it out if you’re in the greater Boston area!!

Drifting a bit from my usual here, but I wrote a piece about how tabletop roleplaying games depict nature (and how D&D does a really bad job of it, from an environmentalist perspective) which maybe some people here might like

Happy belated May Day!

And in the mean time...look forward to a lot of sketches of prehistoric trees from me!

In 1935, it snowed pink in Massachusetts and Chicago because of the red Oklahoma dust kicked up into the atmosphere by severe dust storms in the Great Plains.

Not comics, but I wrote a piece for Real Life Magazine about the history of climate change and getting haunted by Thomas Schelling’s ghost

“Cities such as Sunnyvale wanted semiconductor fabs to look as un-factory-like as possible. As a result, they required that a high parapet be built around a plant’s rooftop in order to hide the smokestacks. This rule had the unanticipated consequence of trapping dangerous chemicals on top of the building, creating “chemical pools.” As the air intakes, like smokestacks, were located on top of the roof, the chemicals would be swallowed back in by the ventilation systems and breathed, again and again, by operators and technicians working in the clean rooms.”
