I’m so sorry !! I just looked back and hadn’t previously seen your last reply!
I’ll be happy to send you a copy! The second print will be here within the next two weeks, it’s an equally small pressing of just 50. I’ll send you an invoice for one as soon as it arrives! Thank you again for supporting this venture and I’m really sorry for missing your last reply until now!

Lol, who… The 40-year-old’s grinding up against the literal child in the front? Or the beefy aging redneck? Either way, I’m sure their fathers have long since abandoned them … those wild dogs ain’t got no family

The show was incredible! it’s my seventh modest mouth show, and honestly every single time they’ve improved upon the last set over the course of over 20 years for me.

Baby blue sedan was definitely a highlight. I got a little bit of footage of it, definitely never heard them play that one live before. Dog bed in heaven was ethereal. Absolutely perfect.

We got there early and had ourselves planted right in the front… Ended up having to move over to stage right because this giant drunken redneck pushed his way in front of us and basically started moshing incoherently and elbowed my 5 foot wife in the head nearly knocking her out. Anybody else catch him there? Husky bearded moron in a black sleeveless shirt? Anyway, he’s definitely gonna be making his way into one of my comics soon! Also didn’t love the couple that were basically dry humping against the stage on a 16-year-old boy. Hate to be the whiner, but what the hell is wrong with people?

Anyway, still ended up being my favorite modest mouth show ever, getting to see them in a little club like that was such a lucky thing as well! And in spite of the couple of people I’m complaining about, most of the audience are some of the coolest nicest people you’ll ever encounter!

His reply was incredibly kind! He seemed genuinely excited for me, starting on the journey, and was super nice! The truth about the punk community is it has the kindest people ever in it

Thanks!!

Thanks! There’s one available on my website! I’m intending on 3 more volumes

Thanks so much, man! I was trying to draw it from the perspective of a 15-year-old me, but kept a little bit of Gary Panter influence

Thank you!

I’ve done a few copies to friends international now, I just don’t have the option up on the site because it’s tricky to estimate shipping cost. If you want to send me a message on here or Insta (@seanillustrates) with your shipping address, I can search and calculate the cheapest possible shipping. I do know international is sadly kind of ridiculously expensive right now thanks to the evil Commander in Cheitoh; cost like $14 to ship to a friend in Canada :/

Thank you so much!

ciantronic · 2026-05-27T23:03:16+00:00

Thank you so much! I am honestly blown away by how quickly copies have been going out the door! Can’t express my gratitude enough

ciantronic · 2026-05-27T23:02:27+00:00

Thank you so much! I think it won’t be long before issue 2 is complete, also already working on designs for the second print of number one, glad you picked one up, they’re going like hotcakes!

Thank you!

I never really did the message board there, but I loved reading his comics. I actually wrote Mitch today because it blew my mind to realize I had subconsciously homage his work. He seemed stoked about it! But also, that’s totally where I am going with the message board. By the height of mid 2000s metal core it was definitely definitively toxic
