Hey, Stranger family. I was first going to title this, what got you into our “Stranger” comics, which is still a question I would love to hear about. But as I started to get ready for work, I really thought about what put me on this path of making comics. I saw a video recently of my son when he was around five, and the excitement we were able to share over reading comics, playing games, and watching movies in the genre that has defined a lot of my life. Someone knew, and popped Hans Zimmer’s “Man of Steel Theme,” on my...

June 10th, 2021  Hey, Stranger family. This week is a short letter to say thank you again. Last’s weeks Instagram live, where we talked about navigating anxiety while being overwhelmed with work and life seemed to be a commonality among many of us. To those who shared their story, I thank you. To those that are quiet, I hear and appreciate you too! Tonight: On @strangercomics Instagram Live at 6 PDT / 9 EDT, I am going to chat a little about inspiration – where mine comes from, how I draw upon it not only for work, but how it also chases the blues...

June 3rd, 2021 Good morning, Stranger family.I appreciate the messages I get after sending out these newsletters. You never really know how folks are going to respond, or if it even gets past the security of gmail etc, relegating us to the sinkhole “Promotions” folder.A lot of people ask me what is the hardest thing about creating and running a business. Outside of the time taken away from family (which is severe), inside is another toll. I liken it to walking on a tightrope of confidence, above the world where everyone watches, marveling at such a feat. I’m on a natural...
