My very first book, Cartoons From Tomorrow, is FINALLY OUT! If you‘re interested in science fiction, emerging technology, or virtual megafauna, I think you’ll love this anthology. You can get it from @powellsbooks, @amazon, @barnesandnoble, @target, and many other booksellers! As always, I’ve got to give it up to @loupatrickmackay, who brought each and every cartoon to life with his incredible illustrative abilities. Feel so fortunate to have you as a creative partner, Lou. (Check out his new design firm, @timeboundmedia!)

When I was little, I was obsessed with comic books, so much so that my friend Rob and I tried to write our own. It was a Gary Larson tribute that we (naturally) titled “A Trip To The Far Side.” I was 10 years old. The finished product was funny, I think, in a 4th grade kind of way. But drawing was not my calling, so I quickly moved onto my next creative pursuit. I never lost my love of single panel cartoons though. 20 years later, I was given the opportunity to start making comics again with an incredibly talented illustrator named @loupatrickmackay. The idea was “@Netflix’s Black Mirror meets @NewYorkerCartoons.” Thanks to @Futurism, it gained some traction, and eventually, @RunningPressBooks asked us to publish some of our favorites (along with 75+ new ones). Putting it together was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and there were moments when I didn’t think I had it in me. Today, I got the first advanced copies in the mail, and I am so proud (an incredibly rare feeling for me). I have so many people to thank, and I’ve done my best to acknowledge all of them in the back of the book. I’ve also tagged many of them in this post. The most important goes to Lou, my partner in cartooning. Next is @geoffreyjamesclark, who helped us pitch and sell this book. Thank you both for making this dream come true. If you would like to support the book, it would mean the world if you preordered it on Amazon / Target / Barnes & Noble. Link is in the bio! It comes out September 17. Best part? It’s only $11! (Also, follow @futurismcartoons!)
