Nate
I told myself I would finally post this for Pride month, and on the very last day of June…here we are. I made this comic to explain things to my family, but you can have it too. So hello! I am Nate, or ND, or Indy if you’d like. I think I wanted to wait until I was absolutely sure of everything, which I still am not if I’m being honest. There’s never been some magic compass inside telling me which way to go, just little things that add up over time. All the same, what a wonderful thing, to choose a name that feels right. Thank you for coming along with me on this journey.
BONUS: Emoji Painting Gallery
I cannot tell you how or why, but at some point a few years back I discovered that Instagram Stories not only allows you unlimited emojis, it ALSO allows you to enlarge them to an apparently infinite degree. Thus, a very strange new hobby was born. As far as I can tell, I am the inventor of this art form, since I am a genius and everyone else has a life.

14/2 SUPERMAN and THE AUTHORITY annotations
PART 1
22/4 Long Time Passing
AT THE END OF EVERYTHING ALL YOU MAKE IS WAR Today’s favourite song is the 800% slowed down version of the Beatles Tomorrow Never Knows that I‘ve been resorting to for ‘atmosphere’ as the screenplay reaches the final furlong! The original 3-minute song has been time-stretched to 23.50 and the effect is of a sublime cosmic haunting, last ghost of the universe, it’s fading imprint on the event horizon of a black hole.

Weekly Cartoons, Comics
Hello! Some cartoons. I️ hope I️ haven’t posted these already - they’re ones I️ made a while back. I️ used to try to post things right away because I’m not very organized. Now I️ just hope. And for paid subscribers - a comic that I️ made a while back and didn’t post because it’s both processed and unprocessed, honest and dishonest, too long and too short. But I’m too much enjoying half-making things now and would rather post this than force something new to be finished. Thank you and much love.
How to Baby Excerpt
Hi! How to Baby comes out next Tuesday. We’re having a book launch on Friday evening at 7 in Brooklyn to make it easier for parents to come (as if! I️ mean please do!). We’ll be serving matzah and wine instead of our usual Friday night book launch challah and grape juice. I️ totally mean it (if I️ can get to a store before then).

Proof of Life
An editor that I adore and am desperate to work with just sent me an email that included “proof of life” in it and boy oh boy is that the state of things. I’m sorry I’ve been neglecting you guys a bit. As most of you know things have been a little rough in this transitional year as I moved to some creator-owned and allotted a bunch of time to Substack and then got hit with a heavy tax bill just on the heels of the writer’s strike. Blah blah blah. Right? The gist is, things have been rough and I’m still struggling to fight my way out.
THE CULL [COLLECTED]
FINALLY! It’s finally THE CULL collection….hmmm… that sounds… incredibly ominous… let’s try again. It’s the release of THE CULL TRADE PAPERBACK! Yay! Nice and bright and shiny and not at all ominous! That’s right, if you’ve been waiting to read THE CULL until it was all collected, then today’s your day. THE CULL is available everywhere fine comics are sold (it’s also available digitally on Comixology, or here if you’re a paid subscriber.)
