This is the final comic for the online portion of Cryptid Club. I wrote Cryptid Club at the height of pandemic lockdown, so in many ways, these strange creatures feel like friends to me and I feel so grateful so have been able to share some of their stories with you.
Fun fact: Benjamin's parent is a single dad, not a mom. I wrote it this way after I learned female Octopuses often pass away after laying eggs and I imagined dads would take over after. In the book Benjamin's dad is revealed to be named Charlie! 🐙
Throughout Cryptid Club I’ve received many compliments on the color palette--that’s because I had an amazing colorist.

I’ve had an extremely busy two years and need to take a bit of a break, but if my schedule allows I will consider returning to Cryptid Club as it holds a huge piece of my heart. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading and supporting this series. <3

I practically leapt out of my chair yesterday when I learned that Cryptid Club is nominated for two (!!) Eisner Awards! I can't even begin to express how delighted and honored I am. Thank you so much--if you wish to vote for me, you can apply here!
I'm EXTREMELY excited to say I'm fulfilling a long time dream and will be attending the Mothman festival Sept 16-17! I'll have Cryptid Club books and Mothman related merch and will be in front of the State Theater by 6th and Main Street. See you soon!
