On Sunday I’ll be at the grand opening of Hobby Quest in Elk Grove, and on National Spider-Man Day, no less! It’s a brand new tabletop gaming shop that will be celebrating its opening all week long! However, things kick off on Sunday, August 1st, and I’ll be there from 12-4pm. Stop by to say hi! More importantly, stop by to check out this great new store!
I’m trying to provide a monthly update of the progress I’ve made on Chapter 5 as a way to mediate the relative silence on the website and associated social media. The short of it: I’ve been drawing non-stop. Below goes over the broad strokes of the last month.

- D. Bethel’s interview with 4 Tales Podcast.
I had the pleasure of being an early guest of the new indie comic creator interview podcast, 4 Tales Podcast, which dropped to the general public today. Hosted by very dear friend, Kyrun Silva––of Taurus Comics––and Danny J. Quick––of 4th Wall Productions––in a mere seven episodes they have established a premier interview podcast that ably and effortlessly balance fun banter with serious and sober creative investigation.
By my metric, it was one of the best interviews I’ve been a part of because it was clear each host did their homework and wanted to dig deeper than a simple surface-level interview that is mostly relegated to people trying to promote something. Kyrun and Danny actually want to talk about stuff, which was great to experience as a guy on the other end of the microphone.
I’d like to thank Kyrun and Danny for having me on and I hope everybody reading this subscribes to their show on whichever podcasting service they happen to use!
P.S. I can’t believe the HBO show, Deadwood, didn’t come to mind when asked about my favorite western show; I’ve seen the show all the way through at least four times and have watched individual episodes and seasons over again many more times. However, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. is a very fine show as well.
