It’s New Bot Monday! Welcome to Twiki who hails from 1979 by way of the year 2491 on the tv show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. He’s an “ambuquod” helper robot, carrying on his chest an artificial intelligence: Dr. Theopolis. Twiki is kinda funny, and was mostly voiced by Mel Blanc, famed Warner Bros cartoon actor.
The Great Leap, last night at Old Town/Cygnet Theatre Co., was great. I did in fact laugh and cry.
Peak Expatriate Kid. This is a not-happy smile. I want to tell my younger self: “the unease you’re feeling is your mind expanding to learn the world is unfair, but also magical. This wisdom will comfort you in the far future. Also, take better care of your teeth.”
That long hair I had in the late 90s remains one of my finest accomplishments.
Going through old photos to send for proper scanning. Found one of my tata “Artie” Silva. Not enough photos of him!
Yesterday I’m gonna party like it’s 1999.
Rainy day simplify.
submitted a comic to a literary journal today. comics are malleable and I am a cartoonist. I think of the terrible gag strips I sent to The New Yorker in 1989 and the very nice, very deserved rejection they got. and I plot my next comic.
I don’t really miss this haircut. My sister and mom look great! From, 20-ish year ago.

Virginia and DC have been wonderful to me but I gotta return to California and my succulent today.

Yesterday I drew Gritty at #UXCampDC for… not really good reasons.
Snowed overnight. Dusting. On the Metro into DC for #UXCampDC
Reading @melstringer’s new travel zine North-Bound in San Diego’s most classic diner Rudford’s seems right. (And I got to stop into @burn_all_books and talk a lil #risograph tech with Nick on my lunch hour too)
“You came in that thing? You’re braver than I thought.” Tuesday was terrific.

Happy Divorce Day to me and Leah. 15 years, 14 days. It is impossible to encapsulate all I learned from and with Leah. I would not take it back. I remain very lucky and am happy to call her a friend. A+
Detail of panel from my latest submission to @burn_all_books art anthology zine “Sundays Quarterly”—I’m working on a way to make it easy for folx to get ahold of the comics I’ve done. Possibly Gumroad. Maybe web. In the meantime get down to the @burn_all_books shop behind @verbatim.books and buy SQ! Also playing with purely web-based formats but I like them less.
Presently.
Early dinner last night with Kelly. Then we explored San Diego seeing what the shinier people were up to! Happy New Year!
It is hard to imagine what it would mean for the holidays for someone to lose their mother or grandma on New Year’s Eve. Every year I understand my elders more and more and the struggles that come with the inherent hardness of life.
Brünhilde, Valkyrie. Not a cosplay to look for in 2020.
Merry Facehuggermas! #facehugger #alien
My top 9 features walks on the beach, my late mom, San Diego Comic Con, drawing at the Vietnam Memorial, candy sushi, plenty of time with @hellokellykuhl and a post from @spill_drink_and_draw. It’s been quite a good year. #top9 #sdcc2019 #cosplay #spillsantaana
Watch the Throne. With Kelly.
The Del is a treasure. I am so lucky.
Christmas with Kelly
Free old markers from @susanmyrland, tested. 35% usable.
I’m a big fan of the Anaheim Intermodal Transit Center. Even more when they make with pretty lights! Raced by it at midnight last night.
Me and this fellow @chrisgreazel have been drawing near each other for a long time. Amazing time at @ink_and_drink_lb last night.
Uh. Wut. #inkanddrinklb #cubecat

Lumpy but also super happy. I fell for the Instagram-magnet but I loved it.
Beachlettering.
Rereading 13 years later. Impressed @_scott_mccloud’s “Chapter 5-1/2” is still online. I have a record of bookmarking it in 2006. Also, I’ve made some comics. Never to late to start making things. Bookmark by @ronnyvardyart
I don’t do resolutions for a new year. Don’t really even believe in them. But I made 4 pieces for @burn_all_books in 2019. Follow and Support them! Wherever I publish, more comics are coming. #indiecomics #risograph #localbookstore
Very happy with how my piece in the next @burn_all_books Sundays Quarterly turned out. Test Riso print on pink.
In 2013 I discovered the @bee_paper 9×9″ notebook and it’s my favorite. Glad to have this raw material for inspiration making comics.
Kelly and I made sugar cookies. Happy Thanksgiving!
Work donuts were sprinkletastic today.
Happiness is dropping by @burn_all_books & @verbatim.books when I want to (this was yesterday)
Sometimes my brush pen gets used in goofy ways.
Nephews @ Mosaic last week.
Yesterday was a long day but leaving Denver gave some nice views.
Sorry I’m running late my United flight on a 757-200 had an engine failure necessitating a non-emergency landing in the Mile High City and a stopover. I think I’ll use my lunch voucher on a Bloody Mary. (I kid, it was all handled very professionally. From fault to safe landing was about 25 minutes).
Time to get back to California.
Leave in the morning and goodness I’m going to miss family. I won’t miss the temperatures.
Cool cat.
Yesterday there was Jenga!
The Vietnam Women’s Memorial is lovely. Women leave hair scrunchies and hair rubber bands there. A lovely Veteran’s Day, visiting there. #veteransday
Corpsman James J Crawford 2nd/506 “Curahees” 101st Airborne Div. Vietnam 1969-1970. Our visits to Virginia co-incident with Veteran’s Day. There’s a ceremony happening here at The Wall today and we’re checking it out.

Twelfth Night!
Me. Taken possibly in San Diego after we got back from New Orleans. I’m 12, i think. Playing my Epoch Galaxy II game (pretty sure it was unlicensed Galaxian) which I loved so much. I‘ve no idea who took this photo or why it was taken.
Thanks for watching! #inktober2019 #inktober — look for more comics in the coming months.

Today’s #inktober is a collaboration with my late Tata. My Mom told me he would draw this little dog whenever he was idle. I surely wish I could talk to him about it. Maybe my aunties know more about this little guy though. #inktober2019. Made with @Procreate

I sent a few copies of the latest @burn_all_books Sundays Quarterly to friends and I love the way my comic printed on risograph. Check them out behind @verbatim.books.
