Meanwhile… Desi’s Throuple

National Cartoonists Society

I was floored to find out that I had been nominated for Best Online Longform Comic by the members of the National Cartoonists Society. This is my second nomination in two years, and I'm overwhelmed by the honor!

Also nominated this year are two powerhouse cartoonists. Jason Chatfield is a New Yorker cartoonist whose longform comic "You're Not A Real Parent Until..." started as a special feature at The New Yorker's website. It reassures all parents that everything’s going to be totally fine — whether it’s accepting dried vomit as a constant presence or learning to fear silence!

Evan Dahm's Third Voice is a tour de force of visual storytelling. The story is an ambitious fantasy graphic novel following wandering scavengers in an ending world. Spondule and Navichet are set in "an invented world in a state of apocalyptic crisis, and the precarious lives of many people therein."

There’s now a great way to show your allegiance to this sometimes supervillain. As with all of the Inkster Inc shirts that I’m releasing, this is high-quality direct-to-garment printing — not that Cafe Press iron-on stuff from the early days of webcomics. The shirts are 100% ring-spun cotton. phenom  Get yours now!
