The Internet is our bedroom, but I’m not sure that’s a good thing.
Collecting essays first published in my newsletter, Internet Bedroom, this book considers the horror and euphoria of life on the social Internet in 2024. With essays about consuming Red Pill content, the existential crisis of content creation, the rise of a 21st century Literary It Girl, and more, there are no easy answers here.

The definitive history of comics art in American culture from newspaper comics to webcomics and everything in between.
An in-depth examination of how comics art developed in America culture, this book is an essential overview of the first pop culture phenomenon to reach the masses. From the newspaper strips of the 18th and 19th centuries to the graphic novels that have ascended to critical acclaim (Maus, Fun Home) in the 20th and 21st centuries, this history fills in all the gaps to offer scholars, students, and fans the first comprehensive history of comics.
Co-written with Andrew Kunka, I took on this project after spending several years teaching comics history at the Columbus College of Art and Design without a textbook.
