This year, I’m writing one post a week on the platform Substack. This is a one-year project to write about travel and life — a mix of my comics (Adventures With Vrah) and travel experiences (Two Fish Traveling).
In 2025, Sterling and I decided to take time to travel. As we travel, I’m working on my newest book, Racing Sunset (also the name of the Substack). The book is a collection of comic stories (similar to Death, Depression, and Diarrhea, which I am still working to publish!)
Racing Sunset is about travel, the passage of time, and trying to make the most of life. At the heart is something I call my “Gas Pedal Feeling.” This is a feeling I can’t seem to escape—a feeling that I’m racing, at break neck speed, toward something I can’t quite find. It’s like one day my foot slammed on the gas and never let up. The feeling is exhausting… and exhilarating.
Before we left to travel, I spoke to my friend Laura about this feeling. She said she feels it too, adding:
“Let me know when you figure out why we feel this way.”
My book Racing Sunset, and the Substack, is for Laura and everyone else who feels the force of the gas pedal.
