DC Comics.

1970’s horror comic art is truly in a class by itself, isn’t it?  Even the printing and coloring has its own distinctive look.

Eric Robert Nolan published by The Piker Press!

I’m honored today to see The Piker Press publish my time-travel horror story, “Shine Now, Fiercely, Forever.”  It’s a cautionary tale about two married scientists whose newly invented time machine delivers them to both a hellish end and an endless hell.  (Seriously, people, use your time machines carefully.)

I am quite grateful to Editor Sand Pilarski for graciously allowing me to join The Piker Press’ wonderful creative community.  It really is a wonderful weekly online journal of arts, sciences, fiction and non-fiction, and I encourage you to visit the site.

If you’d like to find my story, it is on the cover of The Piker Press right here.

Enjoy!

Mr. President, please stop smocking the covfefe.

The first step is admitting that you have a literacy problem.

So, the moral of the story is … “Dont tweeet while smocking teh hard stuf?”

It’s so weird having a president that consistently resembles the former character in those old “Goofus and Gallant” comic strips.

Oh god, I probably just dated myself with that reference.

Thus begins my illustrious career as an abstract filmmaker.

Pretty avant-garde, no?  I’m calling it “Snowfall.”  Bring on the accolades.  (You know how I always want ’em.)

I’m … actually not sure that I could fully define “avant-garde” if you put me on the spot without Google.  It’s a lot like “postmodernism” that way.

Anyway, this was the winter’s first snowfall here in Roanoke today, just two weeks ahead of Christmas 2018.  Look at the size of those flakes.   They are so big that you can actually hear them striking the ground.  I’m serious!  Play the video with the sound on!
