Mickey Black describes herself with sarcastic undertones.
Here’s an “about me” as we kick it into the new year! Look guys! I’m trying to be aesthetic and crap! I think I’m a pretty boring person. I’m sure my mom and therapist disagree. Follow my journey if you’re into dystopian fairytales about overthrowing a tyrant. ✌️

Okay guys - here it is. After months of querying on and off, I’ve decided to officially pursue self publishing. I have a great editor to help me along the way and have a timeline I’m working with. After a year of feeling stuck, I finally feel like I have forward momentum in this. I feel so at ease.☺️
A cartoon of a masked military person body slamming someone who is trying to crawl away. There's text. Top text: Fuckass townsfolks Bottom Text: Callum just trying to be a fisherman
Two panel comic. First panel: A cartoon man is reaching for a yellow ball while smiling. Text over the man reads "Callum". Text over the ball reads "A peaceful life". Second panel: The man is being grabbed by a pink blob, but he's still reaching for the yellow ball. The man is sweating nervously, and the blob is staring at the man. Text over blob reads "Whatever's in the harbour". Text over man reads "Callum". Text over yellow ball reads "A peaceful life".
Bitter trans guy (Callum Point) gets really into the local environment and small-town politics. Sure hope nothing terrible happens to him.
