Nothing Rhymes With Rats
We’re also on Instagram @NRWR_COMIC, where you can view all the rats comic strips we’ve put out to date. Currently working on our second book too. Exciting times!
I’ve been working with Ramsey Janini to make a comic strip called Nothing Rhymes With Rats. It’s about two rats as they navigate life. Everything from the domestic to the cosmic and spiritual (spoiler: these all overlap in significant ways!)
Early in the strip’s history, their environment was a cage, but both Ramsey and I wanted to put something out into the world that was more optimistic. Optimism can be a weapon, and it seemed a much better approach for us in the way we dealt with the circumstances of our own lives. Faced with some difficult moments, cynical snark seemed less satisfying….
We hope you enjoy our rats stories. And if you like them enough, perhaps you’d like a rats book or shirt from my shop. The book is 140-ish pages long and includes a supplementary section with our sketches, comments, insights, etc. Pics of the book below. We ship worldwide.

Saltine’s Book of Parables
BUY IT NOW
$15 + shipping
I am very proud to present to you Saltine’s Book of Parables. This hardcover art book is a collaboration between myself and Saltine–world renowned art historian, and former financial manager to the Ford administration. We also collaborated very closely with Cody Sullivan, who Saltine represents in all matters legal and managerial.
I consider this book of ours to be something of a children’s book for adults. Written in Saltine’s unique voice, these parables are witty, succinct, wise, and offer reflections on the wide breadth of human experience. Everything from navigating anal fissures in relationships, to eschewing desperation in bathhouses, and back through again to lessons about setting boundaries, bargains, and how our hair can get tangled up in it all.

That’s So Julian
Julian Assange spent nearly 7 years at the Ecuadorean embassy…and boy did things get wacky*! Friends, I obviously had to make a comic book about some of those silly* moments. The book is mine from snout to tail, as I am both the writer and artist. I also got it professionally printed, and I’m self-releasing it.

Not the Rodrigo Constanzo Story
My new comic is ready to be held by your delicate reader hands.
It’s about Jason Biggs running lines with his agent, in order the land the part of Rodrigo Constanzo, in a movie about Rodrigo Constanzo.
Rodrigo Constanzo wrote the script.
We didn’t give it a title, but it’s NOT The Rodrigo Constanzo Story. It’s printed on 32 “silk coated” pages and is A5 size (if you fold a piece of printer paper in half, that’s about the size). It will come with a few stickers and Rod’s fantastic mac n’ cheese recipe on the back cover!
Here are some pics. Enjoy.
