February 10th, 2021 A Broaster made me cry today. Let me go back. So I was driving down to Faribault this morning and thinking about an episode of I Love Lucy. In this episode, Lucy and Ethel work as inspectors in a chocolate factory. At first, they’re doing just fine, focusing on each piece asContinue reading “Hunger”

Please Help Save The World With Me
January 28th, 2021 Want to hear my conspiracy? I just finished doing a read-through of The Invisibles, Grant Morrison’s hugely-influential, extremely 90’s comic book series about a secret war between those who fight for freedom and those who fight for control; for truth and for lies; for subjective good and for subjective evil. It operatesContinue reading “Please Help Save The World With Me”
Truth & Consequence
January 9th, 2021 Apparently, some jerk got kicked off Twitter forever and people think it’s an example of silencing freedom of speech. In fact, there are a lot of people who think violating social media platforms’ rules and having their posts or access adjusted or removed accordingly is also that, apparently forgetting that when theyContinue reading “Truth & Consequence”

January 4th, 2021 I devoured this book in two days. You guys, if I haven’t told you, I’ve been having trouble with faith and hope and happiness and stuff, and The Jazz of Physics was exactly what I needed. Like, exactly.

Best Comics of 2020
December 30th, 2020 Continuing my theme of naming the greatest things of the year (as opposed to the most depressing or most defeating), I have to put my stamp on the medium closest to my heart: comic books. I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll say it a million more: comic books have savedContinue reading “Best Comics of 2020”
L/A/Y/E/R/S
December 2nd, 2020 I like to dig deep. When I’m dead and gone, you may force yourself to read or listen to something I did to try to understand why people are calling me “a unique talent who was taken too soon.” (I don’t really know what that is or how that doesn’t describe everyContinue reading “L/A/Y/E/R/S”
Let’s Talk
December 1st, 2020 Do you write a blog? Do you articulate articles for a website? Are you a constant content generator? Do you have your own podcast? Because, if so, I have an idea: PLEASE INTERVIEW ME. As we navigate this second lockdown, I find myself with time on my hands and still looking forContinue reading “Let’s Talk”

I’m happy to see you today. My name is Dennis. I’m a lot of things — I’m theContinue reading “Introduction Version.2021”

November 14th, 2020 Even though I’m exhausted and anxious and just not having the best year, I am also excited and pleased to announce my next project, my first all-ages graphic novel — Brushfire. This story has been a long, long time coming. It started when I was a kid. I loved a lot ofContinue reading “Brushfire: Coming 2021”
