This is a #comic I made for #FridayNightComics with the #SequentialArtistsWorkshop (#SAW) back in November. The theme was #nightmares - I've had this one recurringly since I was a child. Have you had this dream? What are your recurring #dreams & nightmares?

The Sequential Artists Workshop (SAW) has worked with young Iranian comics creators to put together a book of comics called _Young in Iran_. This project is about giving young artists living under an authoritarian regime a voice. The kickstarter campaign had successfully raised double their goal, but was recently canceled because, well, Iran. So they're restarting their fundraising efforts, this time from the SAW website. Please support this amazing project by preordering a copy so these young Iranian artists can be heard!

From the SAW website:
"NOTE: NO MONEY HAS OR WILL EVER CHANGE HANDS BETWEEN SAW AND ANY ENTITIES IN IRAN, so long as international sanctions are in effect."

SAW has always been committed to supporting marginalized voices, and this is no different. The book is finished - it just needs to be printed and shipped to you. Order yours now. Thanks for reading, and please share!

The words Young in Iran are written above and below the panel, which is superimposed over a drawing of a woman covered entirely except for her face. Surrounding the woman is a field of reddish eyes on a blue background.]

God I Feel Like I’m Choking: Relisting Young In Iran — Sequential Artists Workshop

The facts: Kickstarter suspended our campaign for Young in Iran , on Feb 18, 2026, a few days before it’s completion, and after it was more than 200% funded. We respect their decision. You can order here, now.

Comics poet John Burgess recently assembled a fascinating collection of interpretations of #Basho's famous #haiku, and put out the call for #PoetryComics versions of it as well. That spurred me to clean up my version, and here it is! I've linked to John's website in my (public) Patreon post for this #comic — check it out, his post is a fascinating read:
