Two lowlifes in the Black Plague lose the biggest moneymaker they had, and aim to reclaim their rightful riches.

This was my first published work as a comic book artist/cartoonist. COVID hit right in the middle of my senior year of college, so no time like the present to finally delve into making long-form narratives. These two came out of a few personal challenges I gave myself: 1) Make a finished, comic narrative I could share online, 2) Make something (generally) kid-friendly, and 3) Make a new idea from scratch. I had been seeing contemporaries like Casey German or Jasper Juvenbill posting amazing comics on Instagram, so I thought I'd follow suit.

​

I made a quick riff on fairy tales and medieval history - two things I find fascinating, and most of it came together quickly. Soon after making it, I looked for places that would be interested in publishing it - Bird's Eye Comics, an outfit in Seattle, were soliciting submissions for their anthology, The BeBop, and we facilitated a licensing agreement. A published, paid cartoonist! FINALLY! See that final anthology here!

A few years later, I revisited these characters for a version of this as an animated series / pilot. Portions of the pitch bible can be seen in the gallery, and the script for the pilot can be seen here. In 2024, Leah Saint Marie and Angel Daahoud Murphy directed a short, performed excerpt from the script on their podcast, PITCH!, which you can hear here.
