PAGE 62- Itās very emotional in here today. Eh, letās face it, it is always emotional at Screaming Mimi Kids.Ā
Itās been a real roller-coaster week, Iāve been working on mostly freelance design and commission stuff, which I allllmost donāt have enough time for, so I might have to scale back or raise my rates? Either way, this week I gotta kick out some more SMK so we have updates into March.Ā
Havenāt watched anything too exciting in the past week, but Iāve been listening to Mission to Zyxx, which is a sci-fi, improv, comedy podcast and that has been fun. Iām not falling about the place laughing every episode, but it sounds like tremendous fun to do, and that is fun to listen to.Ā
I started a Ko-Fi, so if you want to help me get to conventions this year, or just like SMK and feel like throwing a few bucks my way, check me out here:

PAGE 61- Oh man, itās a paaacked, packed week. Ok, the media things are these:
Happy Death Day 2 U- enjoyed it! Didnāt love it, I really liked the first one and I canāt say enough how engaging, funny, and surprising Jessica Rothe is in the originial.Ā She is still great in the sequel, but it veers off and does different things with different people for hunks which...I dunno, I didnāt need. But it did some weirdo stuff that was interesting.Ā
Alita: Battle Angel- man, this movie just kept getting in itās own way.Ā The dialogue was stilted and stiff, there were at least 3 different movie concepts in it and in the end I didnāt feel like any of it paid off, because it set up for a sequel. Buuuuuut, the fighting was fun! and the effects werenāt bad. I really like Rosa Salazar so I hope we get to see more of her in the future.Ā
Lastly, a ton of doom metal recently. I might be headed towards a pop swing but right now I am feeling the dark and gloomy and slow.Ā

Itās been a mild week for me, got a few projects wrapped up, still a ways to go on others, but there is always Screaming Mimi Kids to work on.Ā We saw Lego Movie 2 and really enjoyed it. Next week is Happy Death Day 2U and Alita which...Iāll be honest, I hope is good. Not a high hope, but still. Anywhoo, always more comic coming, so keep on reading!

PAGE 59- I may not always have a blog post ready when these go up, but I will always have the page ready, dang it! Itās another late blog post, but better than nothing I say.Ā Ā
We saw Into the Spider-verse a second time and it was still just excellent. I had read an article about Fisk in the movie and how he is a working opposite to theĀ āGreat power means great responsibilityā trope in Spider-Man movies. Fisk in the film is all power, being used irresponsibly. Itās a wonderful theme, partially because itās Fiskās specifically.Ā Miles and the rest of the spider-folk arenāt wrestling with responsibility, they all know exactly what they should be doing with their powers and they want to do that stuff. Fisk is the one that wonāt accept that he should be behaving better, and he dooms himself across all realities because he wonāt change the thing that was actually wrong. Ugh, just so excellent.Ā
Anyways, lot of great music this week as well, Iād highly recommend anything on the list for a listen.Ā

PAGE 58- Hello! Itās a beautiful, cold, glittery-snow day in Ohio and I hope you are enjoying whatever weather you have.Ā I wanted to make sure I announce here that I will be at DiNK-Denver this year with @meggietheramm and I will be at the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con and Comics Camp again!Ā Meggie and I will have some hard choices to make as new shows come up, based on what we can afford to make it to, but if you want to help alleviate that I am open for commissions!
Portraits start at $40 and we can talk about anything custom youād like to do! Recently Iāve done some portraits for fashion folks, wearing very specific shoes, hats, and sweaters and I just finished my first Magic: The Gathering play-mat. E-mail me! [email protected] (or just send me $5 via paypal and I will hit you back with a sketch, same e-mail address.Ā
Iāve been listening to a lot of music this week and I am still working on the Todd May book, so no new media reports.Ā Ā

PAGE 57- It snowed so much! Really, it only snowed like, 7 or 8 inches, but it came down fast annnnnnd I got my car stuck in the snow at 1:30 in the morning. I was very lucky a guy heading to work with the railroad came by in godās largest SUV and gave me a ride, but I still had to walk 20 minutes home from the place he dropped me off. Long story short, those snow emergency levels are for real guys! If you are driving through multiple counties, pay attention to all ofĀ āem!
Anywho. I have started reading a book by Todd May, a philosopher who contributes to āThe Good Placeā, so that is very fun. It is about creating a meaningful life in a meaningless universe and it really makes me want to try to fold all of my interest in philosophy the past few years into a comic of some sort.Ā I dunno, maybe one day.Ā Ā
I finished a few commissions this week and talked to some folks about a few more, but time is really getting constrained. Especially since I will be heading to DiNK and Alaska Robotics Mini-Con this year, it just feels like a lot is going on. Oh, I will be at DiNK this year, yay!

PAGE 56- Hello! Itās been a while since I got a full blog post up and Iām really glad to be back! From September til the end of 2018 it was just one thing after another and it really ate into my time, but I am feeling much more settled and a lot closer to finishing several projects and building up a buffer of SMK for you.Ā Ā
My little baby webcomic is 1 year old folks! I have a little toddler webcomic on my hands!Ā Iām really glad that we are all getting to know each other better this year and I am super psyched for more SMK since I have about 4 years worth planned out.Ā If Iām really lucky, I will have time to knock out a big olā chunk and maybe move to 2 pages a week? Let me know who youād feel about that.
Ok, Spider-verse, youāve seen it, right? This is probably your last week to see it in theaters, so go, now, today! Itās amazing and I canāt recommend it enough, but if you want to listen to me try, my podcast Pop!Whiz!Bang! gives it a go here.Ā
The Haunting of Hill House also gets giant accolades from me, I really loved it and the weird thing it was doing which I can only describe as sampling a franchise like you would a song? Like, visual elements from the many film incarnations ofĀ āThe Haunting of Hill Houseā, big hunks of the text re-purposed as dialogue, ideas re-contextualized, all to make something different and unique and brilliant.Ā
Lastly! Spring con season is looming and so far I will be at DiNK and the Alaska Robotics Mini-Con and Comics Camp. I am thrilled about both and holding my breath waiting to hear on a few other shows. Iāll let you know when they pop up!

Non- SMK update today and I apologize for the spotty-ness at the end of the year.Ā I have pages ready to go for you and by next week, I will have even more pages and we should be solidly off to the races again.Ā In the meantime, I thought Iād upload some images from a full-color project Iāve mentioned here several times that I just inked the last page of this week. The bad fella has been on the docket for over a year and is just now seeing the light of day and Iām really pleased and proud that James MeadowsĀ let me illustrate the project based on his music.Ā I love the tracks, I know you will too when you hear them.Ā
In other news! I continue to keep being a human, but itās always a little challenge.Ā Iāve been sleeping more than usual and eating terribly and that is something I need to alter, because I always feel better when I take care of my body.Ā Maybe we can do it together, if you need a push. Iāll try to keep you updated on the changes I make.Ā
Also: Into the Spiderverse. I know youāve seen it. If not, please go see it on the biggest available screen. Itās wonderful and special and rocked my mind.Ā How in the world it isnāt pushing the $400 million mark I cannot imagine, but itās worth your time in and of itself.Ā
Lastly: Music!Ā This week I listened to T-Rextasty, Oh Land, David Bowie, Marian Call, Molly Lewis, The Scary Jokes, The Roches, Beaten to Death, GUNSHIP, Natasha Kahn, Alice Glass, and Karen Dalton.Ā Ā Iād really felt in a rut, so itās wonderful to get a big burst of diversity in the mix, both older and newer releases. Karen Dalton is especially wonderful.Ā
Have a wonderful day! Screaming Mimi Kids returns next week and I canāt wait for you to see where we are headed in 2019!

PAGE 54- SPIDERVERSE. GO SEE IT. Cannot praise it enough, I fucking loved it and I hope you do too.Ā
Very close to having aĀ ānormalā feeling routine back, but still not quite there. Holidays, you bane on normalcy. Nah, itās good for things to be different, it makes time move more slowly.Ā This has been the longest-feeling year in many years and I blame that on the giant upheavals that weāve all seen and experienced.Ā
Into the Spiderverse tho.....seriously.Ā

PAGE 53- Hiii! Glad to be back and getting new Screaming Mimi Pages out to you! I am healthy, which is great.Ā It is a land of sickness where I am, roving fluās of various types piggy-backing from person to person.Ā But Iām done with that business.Ā
We have continued to put off seeing stuff we really want to in the theater but betweenĀ āInto the Spiderverseā andĀ āMary Poppinsā I think we are going to wreck the non-spending momentum. I love going to the theater and miss it dearly.Ā
Itās also time for everyoneās end-of-the-year/best-of music lists which means I get to discover a whole ton of music that I completely missed throughout the year.Ā Some of it Iāve at least heard of, just didnāt listen to, but most of it just sailed completely by me.Ā Man, it has been a solid year for music.

So last week, I was sick and had to cancel a con appearance and you might have noticed this page went up without a blog post last week! Silly of me, but I think I am going to wait on a new page until next week.Ā Sorry to make you wait, but there is plenty more coming and you can always scope out that deer again! Or Sethās face, pretty good huh? Yeaaaahahhhhh.
Next week Iāll full-on the blog post and put up the new page- we approaching one year of Screaming Mimi Kids by the way!

PAGE 51- Rainy and cold and grey. So, heaven.Ā Seriously, I love the wintry weather and have been dressing like I just came in from a ship off the Maritimes.Ā It is good good weather.Ā Ā
If you havenāt been listening to my podcast about comic theory and process, I would suggest hopping in on the newest one because we talk aboutĀ āBeautiful Darknessā byĀ Fabien Vehlmann and Kerascoet and its an amazing book and we have a very good time talking about it.Ā We also have episodes on panels and layouts, scripting, and other books like Vera BrosgolāsĀ āBe Preparedā,Ā āLocke and Keyā, andĀ āSheetsā by Brenna Thummler.Ā
http://soundcloud.com/pwbpod or look for Pop!Whiz!Bang! on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, or Stitcher.
Today we are going to go see the new Fantastic Beasts movie....we have a free ticket, so that makes it a little more attractive.Ā I dunno. Iāll tell you my thoughts next week. More new pages coming!
I am also readingĀ āRickety Stitch and the Middle Route Runā which I highly recommend, if youāve read the first comic (which I also recommend.)

PAGE 50- New pages! New-new as opposed to old-new! This is definitely the lowest my buffer has ever been since I started Screaming Mimi Kids almost a year ago, but I think I will get back up soon.Ā I may have to take a hiatus in 6 months to polish out that back end of the scripts but I am hoping I can get enough buffer out that I will build the time in.Ā Ā
We just sawĀ āThe Nutcracker and the Four Realmsā which I wish I could have watched with just the score on.Ā I enjoyed the production deisgn, the sets were great, makeup and costumes were fun and there was a great ballet sequence, but the writing left....much to be desired. One day, some rando will be criticizing my stuff on their webcomic blogs and I will be thrilled.Ā
I really suggest the new Tom Adams albumĀ āYes, Sleep Well Deathā if you are into Sigur Ros or any other epic thing, cause itās really great driving/working/showering/contemplating music.Ā

PAGE 49- Hello! The holiday season is upon is, perched on our shoulders, driving us slowly to the ground. Nah, Iām joking.Ā We host Thanksgiving at our house and genuinely enjoy it and Christmas is....fine. Itās unavoidable, so you make peace. New Yearās is a party though.Ā
This is the first page of issue 4- so its totally new, never-before-seen, even if youāve bought the physical copies.Ā The next couple pages I am experimenting with different watercolor papers, so you may notice a slight difference in the look.Ā But maybe not too. In college I stuck to oil paint as much as I could, so all I know is canvas.Ā Watercolor paper is a totally new thing and I am mind-blown by how different the pages can look.Ā Just about every aspect of actually putting the ink wash down is affected by the kind and quality of the paper but Iām not sure how visible it will be to folks that arenāt me?Ā
If you want to here @meggietheramm and I opine about paper, keeps your eyes peeled on our podcast Pop!Whiz!Bang! because down the line we have a paper episode.Ā For right now, our newest episode is about Vera Brosgolās bookĀ āBe Prepared. Click the links, subscribe to the thing, leave an iTunes rating- weāll love you for it.Ā
I hope your holiday season is full of holiday movies, something I genuinely love in an aspirational way.Ā Wouldnāt it be nice if we could all have cathartic nights and be tranformed into more loving, open people?
Lastly- PLEASE VOTE! Voting is so important, especially in your midterm and local elections.Ā Itās easy to feel disillusioned but each vote keeps your priorities in the minds of the electorate. Never let your voice disappear- vote it up!
