Comic Transcripts

– So, ah, we kind of need money for baby food. Whatcha working on? Anything good?
– No. It’s my novel. Go away. You can’t read it.

– What’s it about?
– It’s about a guy who’s trying to write a novel but his STUPID wife keeps STUPID bothering him. It’s a comedy about the human condition. Being an alien from Venus, you couldn’t possibly understand.

– Back in Earth-Prep boot camp, they didn’t say you’d be mean.
– Yeah? Welcome to Earth. We’re hard core. Now, seriously, go away.

I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
