Show notes
In this special New Year’s episode, I sit down with Jim Rugg and DJ to break down exactly where the VeeFriends comics universe is headed in 2026. I talk about my history as a storyteller — from the games I made up as a kid to how that foundation turned into VeeFriends.
We get into a real conversation about the “starving artist” myth and why it’s broken. Commercial success doesn’t ruin creativity — it protects it. I share why the comic industry needs to stop gatekeeping, start onboarding new fans, and think bigger about long-term relevance. Hope you enjoy!
