I wrote this one a long time ago. It came in a series of self depreciative emotions I was dealing with at the time (constantly). A friend told me to write down my stories and put them raw and unedited online for people to see and maybe understand my brain at times. Since then I have indeed put a little polish on it and decided to have to art added to it. That’s where Joel Katz<\/a> comes in. He came into the toy store<\/a> one day and we started geeking out and the next thing I know we started working on stuff together. This is the first of many projects to come. Prints will be available on the store soon as well as at any conventions you see us at.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
