We had the great pleasure of talking to Brian at Comix Experience about Oh My Gods! Our book was their Graphic Novel of the Month (for Kids) title. We talked about our process, the story, the art, characters, and answered questions! You can watch it over on their YouTube channel here:
Thank you so much to Brian, Jordan, The Beat, and to everyone at Comix Experience who made the interview happen. It was such a smooth experience and a true joy to do. We hope you’ll check it out (and the book too!)
What’s this? A newsletter, you say? Well, it’s true and here for you to read and enjoy. The first one went out yesterday (click here to read it) and sign yourself up going forward. I’ll be releasing them on a monthly basis and going through what’s new with me, sharing links, giving some advice and insights, and generally rambling.

Over the last few months, I’ve been putting something really fun together with Jon Robertson of The Diecast Podcast. Jon is the person who first got me involved playing Dungeons & Dragons after being curious about it for ages. I’ve been playing longer campaigns with him as DM and two other friends for the last couple of years. In that series of campaigns, we’ve dubbed our trio the Trollskull Trio because, well, we live in Trollskull Manor. And it’s just really catchy. And while the next season of that is sure to be fun too, I’ve been involved in something else for the podcast.
We’re launching Tales from Trollskull, which is a series of one-shot campaigns and short stories with an all-new cast of characters. I got three groups together to each do mini-sessions for the podcast as adventurers working out of Trollskull Manor.
The first group (aka The Bee Team) just wrapped up their sessions. The group features Leslie Doyle, Saffron Aurora, Whitney Gardner, Mackenzie Boyd-Garrison, myself, and Jon as our DM. You can look forward to the episodes being released very soon. Jon is editing what we’ve got so far and is aiming to release them at the beginning of March.
While I don’t want to give away too much about what to expect yet, what I will share with you is the character I’m playing! There will be three short stories, and my character is a half-orc bardbarian named Una. She’s a very successful adventurer but desperately wishes to be a bard. Except she is very bad at it. She leaves home and goes far, far away to pursue it and not ruin her reputation if it fails. That brings her to Trollskull where she arrives to make some gold to support her new life.
This has sort of become a thing for me during self-isolation; watching stuff, tracking it, and sharing it with anyone who might be interested. I genuinely have no idea if anyone cares, but it’s a nice little way for me to be aware of everything that I’ve been enjoying.
Over the last little while, there’s been an overwhelming amount of content that I’ve been curious about. In 2020, I went through most of my Must Watch things I’d been meaning to get to. Then I went through a phase where I felt like there was nothing to watch left. I revisited a few things but I’ve started accumulating new titles again. Here’s an assortment of what I checked out on TV in January:
Best Leftovers Ever S1
Sabrina the Teenage Witch S3-5
Wynonna Earp S3
The Challenge S32
Bridgerton S1
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina S4
Would You Lie to Me?
Blown Away S1
Lupin S1
Taskmaster S1
From this list, there was a lot to love here. It’s mostly mindless content that I didn’t have to invest a lot into.
Best Leftovers Ever super surprised me! My mom actually recommended it and I was admittedly reluctant (sorry mom) but it was great.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was incredibly disappointing…thankfully I had the original sitcom on CBS All Access to catch up with and rewatch. That show continues to be fantastic, except for when Sabina leaves for college and then it loses a lot of its charm.
Bridgerton was the #1 one on Netflix for a reason…romance, drama, and uh, more drama! I liked it a lot. Although I definitely had a hunch as to who Mrs. Whistledown was early on and Googled it to see if I was right (I was) so I spoiled it for myself.
I’ve been bingeing a lot of British game shows over on YouTube. The two I’m most enamoured with right now are Would I Lie To You? and Taskmaster. They’re hilarious and the mix of the stories from WILTY and then the things the comedians do in Taskmaster are brilliant.
And lastly, my favourite thing that I watched in January is hands down Lupin. The first episode immediately draws you in and is so satisfying. Had they not done anything past that episode, I would’ve still left content. The heists. The acting. The pacing and the plot. Everything is top notch and I highly recommend checking it out.
