Since the amazing Thien Pham was kind enough to sit down with me to talk about this page of Cloud Town, the world is starting to notice how amazing his last book is! If you haven't read "Family Style" yet, you just have to. It won the Eisner, made the NPR best book list, and more! Thien is an amazing cartoonist and a sweet and patient communicator when it comes to art. He's an art teacher, and I hope his students know how lucky they are.

Anyway, here's a video I put together for my patrons a half year ago. Watch it and buy his book!

Every cartoonist should be posting to the MangaPluss app and every publisher should try to emulate it. I wish there was a place like it when I was younger, so I submitted comics I drew when I was that age. What do you think?

Mechanical engineering was overtaken by genetic engineering forever ago, but it wasn't until people started changing themselves that the revolution came. War devastated the territory. Survivors struggle amid bio-machines roaming wild; trucks and toasters growing feral and vicious. Everywhere you loo...
