What about him?

So does jaxon have a little person inside em?

Not usually. but they have the ability to fit people inside of them.

When old man P created the Jaxsons he birth-bonded many of them with Freejohns (Prophet’s that were grown to fight the empire) 

On this page Xefferson talks about how his birth-bonded FreeJohn died while inside him.

Can you tell us more about the cancer which you had and how did you deal with it after you found out about it?

Sure, I had testicular cancer. Which I was told is one of the more treatable types.

They treated it by removing the nut.(That’s called an orchiectomy. a friend of mine made me watch lots of LOTR to replace the Orcs in my system post surgery) —It was pulled up through my body. I have a scar right above my crotch. and then they tattooed dots on me so they could line me up on a machine every day to shoot me with radiation in order to kill the cancer that had spread to my lymph nodes.

I have lots of stories from around that time, I got sent to a sperm bank where nurses send you into a room with the option to masturbate to nurse porn. 

My publisher at the time, Tokyopop was fucking with the cover I’d done for the 1st King city, and I got to send them an email telling them to leave it alone signed “Serious as cancer” 

When I was recovering I went to the Gilda’s club in Seattle. but I wasn’t really in a place to process anything. 

After I moved up to Canada I think I had to deal with a lot of the emotional so and so that I’d wracked up in my life. I had a year as more of living like a shut in—and then some time dealing with depression. (I’m on medication now that makes me sweat more but helps my brain work) 

A friend of mine who works as a book publisher was telling me that I should do a book about it— but that feels I dunno— disingenuous. I’d rather let it seep into the work.

Did some Prophet fan art as a gift for the fine folks at Challengers Comics and Graham Crackers Comics DT, as a thank you for all their hard work in hosting Speculative Relationships.  These are good dudes and prove how awesome LCS’s should all be.

Big thanks to Patrick and Dal at challengers and Matt and crew at graham crackers!
