Is 2026 The Year That I Quit Comics!?!?
60 days into 2026 and already I feel like I'm dying to quit comics lol
Hey everyone. It’s been a bit since my last update on here. If you haven’t read the last update where I explained the last 90 days of 2025, make sure to read it here before going further so you can get some context.
Anyways. Let’s get into it. If you want to skip my life update and want to know about the comic campaigns, scroll to the bottom where I update y’all on all the projects!
Okay. LIFE UPDATE:
For the last two years of my life, I’ve been running a marketing company, for a couple, that was created to support multiple businesses that they had created, but also to service other clients that we brought in. I received a large investment from them to start this marketing company, and for the last two years have been trying to grow it, maintain it, but also do all the side quests that were thrown at me by my employers.
Because of this, it was a miracle that any comics were made in these two years. It’s been increasingly difficult to find time to do so, and I constantly wondered if I should quit. The reason why I thought this was that I was given parameters that would give me ownership of the company, and if I hit those markers, I would have a percentage of the company. No paper work was ever signed and this was never made official.
I worked 50-60 hour weeks, was available basically 24/7 for these people, and could be summoned to jump on a plane at any given moment to do a side quest (sometimes given 48 hours in advance).
Well. All of that began crumbling in October 2025. Many of their companies were being shut down, but also massive revenue streams were shut off that were in part helping fund the company I was running. The couple started a divorce process, and then were thrown into massive legal troubles that I unfortunately got thrown into (briefly).
By December, I had laid off everyone on my team save myself and my friend Clint. We were still servicing their main company, however were told to fire all clients that were not in connection with them. They sold their offices at the end of the year, and the Utah team was disbanded.
In January, Clint and I got our own office and still were doing work for their main company, despite going through massive disarray, legal problems, and tons of confusion. On the side, we picked up some tiny clients that we could help to get some extra cash to prepare for a possible job loss. We created a small side marketing agency, but honestly the money coming in was basically just paying our internet and office space rent. I started interviewing at multiple businesses, and was being rejected constantly.
Towards the end of January we basically had no communication from the main company or our employers, and planned for the worst.
One of the interviews basically ended with “I don’t know if you’d be a good culture fit because you don’t look like you exercise.” Super illegal to say, and super fucked up.
So. I did what I naturally do when I have a new enemy.
Build in spite of them.
In February, right before I left for a business trip to Chicago, I checked the bank account and saw that there was basically not enough money to pay Clint and I. I sent a message to the accountant and sent them our work invoices. 10 minutes later I was told they weren’t going to be paid. At 5am the next morning I jumped on a plane for a business event for this company knowing that this was basically my final week of working for them.
So I began networking hardcore while I was there, talking to everyone I could, and letting them know that I was going to be available to work with in the future.
For the last 2-3 weeks we’ve been grinding hardcore.
As of today I was laid off from the main company and a 2 year chapter closed of safe employment and a constant paycheck.
But a new chapter has opened.
Clint and I are now officially running our own marketing agency.
We landed our first 5-figure client which means that payday isn’t as scary as we thought it was going to be, however we need to bring in a few more clients to get back to where we were financially, along with balancing our now newfound expenses. Currently we have 6 clients, and are ever growing which is good.
With that being said, I’m more tired than ever. Everything is on our shoulders, and the only way we continue to succeed is to make sure our clients succeed. That sometimes means early mornings and late nights.
I did however take that dick’s statement to heart, and joined a gym and have already lost 3 pounds.
As for quitting comics? As you can see down below, I don’t plan on quitting comics anytime soon, however the time that I can currently spend on them is limited which is why I haven’t launched any new campaigns yet this year. I want to make sure that I finish the fulfillment on the ones that I have currently, before ramping up new Kickstarter backer debt.
But life is getting busy and it’s getting challenging. My safety net of steady pay from a company is gone, and my pay is now exclusively in my hands which is both empowering and stressful.
On top of that, we’re planning on launching 3 content brands to enable us to bring in new clients at a more rapid pace in the coming months. A marketing agency brand, and then 2 personal brands.
ALSO.
Here’s some big news.
My wife has been pregnant for the last 8 months and in 3 weeks will have our third and final child. It’s been a rough pregnancy and with losing my job 3-4 weeks before the baby due has been weighing heavily on me.
So every move I make (and every move I’ve been making for the last 8 years) has been to put my family first. Right now this marketing agency needs my full attention as it’s the main thing paying our bills. Comics is our secondary stream and always has been.
So. What does the future look like?
Who knows. But honestly, I’m both nervous and excited for it.
Thank you for your patience with me these last two years. They’ve been crazy. One day I’ll tell all the crazy stories I’ve accumulated. But until then, here’s the life update.
Expect me to post more on socials going forward, and to start doing more updates on comics as I start fulfilling and finishing them.
Which brings us to the final section of this SUPER LONG post!
The comic updates section!
SUPER PLUMBER SISTERS #4 Campaign:
Physical fulfillment has begun. Give me 2 weeks to get this all shipped out to y’all :)
BULLET ASSASSIN LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD #3 Campaign:
Currently being lettered, and then will be sent to the editor. Digital fulfillment should be in 1-2 weeks, and physical fulfillment 3-4 weeks after that.
MY SEXY WITCH ACADEMIA #4 Campaign:
Currently greytoning the first 20-pages while Tommy finishes the last 20 pages. The delay on this project is 100% my fault as I didn’t give Tommy the changed scripts and sketches in a timely manner.
FINDING CLUES WITH DETECTIVE BLUE Vol. 1
Super early into the book. Currently sketching and scripting the first 20 pages before sending them to the artist. Cover is currently being colored. Since this is a one-and-done graphic novel, I most likely won’t be doing a campaign on the book until it’s 90-100% completed.
TOMMY SHELL Graphic Novel
This is also a one-and-done graphic novel that I’m writing and drawing 100% of the pages. I’m excited to work on this project, however you won’t see a campaign for it until it’s 100% completed.
THE GIRL WITH THE MEGA FISTS Vol. 5
This one currently breaks my heart. Right now this project is on a slight pause PURELY because I have this need to tell the TOMMY SHELL story first, before re-entering into this world. So. The book isn’t forgotten, but it does require a level of a stability to create, that I currently don’t have.
Alright! I hope you enjoyed this update. Don’t worry we’re not quitting comics…we’re probably working on too many comics but honestly it makes me happy to get to tell these stories and have a silly goose time.
Thank you for being part of the journey :)
