Ooh La La!

Matt and I were interviewed by the French site Le Tag Parfait and it's such a trip to see my words translated in Actual French, instead of my broken joke of an attempt at French. 

Like, oh my god. I love the French language so much. I studied it through High School and College, lived in France for a semester. I got my French proficiency to a level of "I can communicate with you" and I really fully intended to get myself fluent. I had aspirations of moving back to France after I graduated,...

Yes, Roya

http://www.ohjoysextoy.com/yes-roya/

Dang, my dudes. "Yes, Roya" is one of my all time favorite graphic novels. Like. Not even "favorite erotic graphic novels". I mean, "favorite graphic novels. Ever." It's just good comics. 

Here's the synopsis, then go check out my review for some further analysis!

 Yes, Roya is a graphic novel about an inexperienced young artist, Wyl...

No More Sex Shame with Dr. David Ley

Really enjoyed talking with Dr. David Ley this morning about using humor to disarm people's defensiveness when it comes to discussing difficult subjects (liiiiiiiiiiike SEX) and why I think comics is a uniquely powerful media for education. Also, check out my home office in the background :D Matt put up those shelves so I could swap different books and prints in and out and keep the visuals in my home workplace fresh.

He's interviewed a ton of other folks in the sex world for this series, all ...

Evolving Stitches

(I originally posted a version of this on Twitter)

This is the first time I've free-hand drawn my own design on the fabric and I'm  fairly happy with how it's coming out! I mean, I drew the initial center circle by tracing a round object, but all the stems and leaves and flowers I just drew without any guides. 

I'm still experimenting, trying different approaches when it comes to emb...

Hey gang - It's Matt writing today! Writing about the scary business side of emailing people for money. For context, here's a post I wrote about the deal with our ads  back in February.

I don't think I've ever been so scared of sending emails out in my life. I think it's got to do with the fact that I'm ASKING for such a large sum from mostly strangers...

Keep Your Muff Up to Snuff

My dearest compatriot and fellow Dad Joke Enthusiast Lucy Bellwood  hit me up today looking for assistance in making a catchy slogan to encourage folks in getting their annual pelvic exam to help catch preventative conditions before they turn into serious problems.

A friend coming to me in their hour of need to invent rhyming slogans about genitals for healthcare education?

Double Life, Double Mind

The last couple months I’ve been living a double life. On the day we launched the Kickstarter for Volume 4, I would pull myself together just enough to make chirpy updates on social media and then I would curl back up into a ball and sob under my blanket because I was losing my goddamn mind.

I’m doing better now but it feels so fragile. For a couple months my brain felt like a swarm of wasps smashing into each other and crashing against my skull. I wish I got the “fun” hypomania, where...

Interview about my old journal comic

Long before Oh Joy Sex Toy was a twinkle in my eye, I used to draw a little diary comic called DAR! A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary.  I kept it up from the ages of 20-26, around 2003-2009.  A couple months ago I answered this interview from a university student writing their thesis on journal comics and I thought, hey, maybe some'a you Old Skoolers from back in the day might be interested in my respo...

Jeez Louise, time goes by so quickly??? On April 26th we just passed the four year anniversary of OJST and Matt and I figure our archive is deep enough that we should probably reintroduce ourselves, our comic, and our business for all the newer readers who haven't been around since the beginning.

Depicting Middle Age and Older

Guess what! I am in Sweden! I am in Sweden as a guest of the Stockholm International Comics Festival, holy cow!!!! They flew me out and set me up in a hotel and all I gotta do in exchange is talk with some really sweet Swedes on a stage and sign some books! Amazing. I feel like the organizers must have me confused with somebody who actually deserves this treatment.

Of course I picked up a cold two days before my International flight :-/ I pushed myself to get out and socialize with the o...
