Summer Tour 2025
April 8th, 2025 You would think that, after how busy and actually crazy this past year has been, I would crack open a book and an ice cold A & W root beer, lay out on my favorite beach towel in the hot sand, and take it real easy this summer. That’s probably what IContinue reading “Summer Tour 2025”
Guthrie Trip
April 5th, 2025 I am forever a theater nerd. When I went back to school last fall, my past in theater emboldened me to seek out similar groups for my educational stay. When I joined the Creative Arts & Writing Club (and subsequently became its president five minutes later), we started talking events, and aContinue reading “Guthrie Trip”
The Weirdos Art Show
March 12th, 2025 You can say a lot of things about Eric and I (and we’ve heard it all, knock it off!), but you can’t say we don’t try big things! When I was a kid, I promised myself that when I made my own comic, I would do it the “right way”: with paperContinue reading “The Weirdos Art Show”
Men With(out) Fear
March 5th, 2025 I am (clearly) a massive fan of Daredevil; this photo was taken on one of my best friend’s wedding day. (No, he did not allow me to stand before the congregation like this, a missed opportunity in my opinion.) The new season just started on Disney+ and it is not only fuckingContinue reading “Men With(out) Fear”
The New Romantics: Author Notes
March 4th, 2025 After over a year of it living its own beautiful life in an anthology collection, I am so excited to be able to share this short story with a whole new audience. Namely: you. First, a little history: last year, my friend Jeri put together an amazing team of writers to createContinue reading “The New Romantics: Author Notes”
The New Romantics
The New Romantics By Dennis Vogen We should have burned the internet down when we had the chance. This is the stupid thought that crosses my mind most frequently these days, but particularly now, as I run through a citrus-colored forest, chased by a nimble mob of people. I shouldn’t have been digging where IContinue reading “The New Romantics”
Live From New York
February 16th, 2025 I’m an SNL fanatic. It has almost never been a popular thing to be or to say out loud. Even as the nerds had their revenge and became a force in popular culture, SNL has always been a target for haters, of which there are many. But I have always been aContinue reading “Live From New York”
Smarg Review
December 30th, 2024 I was so excited to finally get the first issue of Smarg delivered to my door! This book is both the debut of pals Paul Hallgren and Jesse Switters as a creative team and Snow Day Press, the new local comic imprint. Smarg himself is the alter ego of Swerven Niv-Bakcen, anContinue reading “Smarg Review”
Flow Review
December 17th, 2024 As much as I like to participate in the popular culture conversation (and, boy, do I ever), I also like to highlight stuff that you would probably miss otherwise. Even though it’s been the talk of the animation world, collecting awards and getting nominated for a Golden Globe, most people I’ve talkedContinue reading “Flow Review”
