If you know about Dark Matter, then seeing the picture below is enough. If you don't know who the character is, get ready. Laughing Matter Studios just punched the "Go" button on a short animated Dark Matter video. It'll take some serious time and energy, but there's a script down. Storyboarding is done. We're currently running into technical issues with importing the main background scene (it's basically a 3D model), but we have a list of solutions and we're quickly going through to find the one we need. Stay tuned!

It's hard to believe that I've made so many of these comics. Including the original run and the #0 strip, there's more than fifty Table Manners comics. And of course, now there's a video game to go along with the comics. In this latest strip, the question is brought up: just what happened to Dark Matter III? Perhaps the next Table Manners will touch base on that?

Well, it's taken over 8 years, but Table Manners has finally crossed over from being just a simple three-panel comedy comic strip. Now? It's got it's own videogame! The game is playable right on my website (or at Laughing Matter Studios' website), and yes, you can play with your phone browser, though you need to click the "Fullscreen" icon first on phone browsers.

This game is about 6 times the size of my last game and is built to run on a Gameboy Color (vs. the original Gameboy which was only in black and white). There's a ROM and an EXE in the Laughing Matter online store if you want them.

Table Manners: Worm-Cation (giant worms attack while everyone's on vacation...Worm-Cation) is FREE to play on mine and my studios' websites. Elsewhere...look, I gotta make something after all these years lol

Thank you everyone who's supported LMS. I have no idea what the next project will be or when it'll happen, but for now, I'm going to sit back. I made the game, now it's your turn to enjoy it!

Head over to the "Games" page and have a go!

Ladies and gentlemen! Finally (after a brief period of silence from Laughing Matter Studios), Table Manners: Worm-Cation is ready! The game will be available to play on our website at 5:00 p.m. CST this Friday, 9/17! Get ready to save Old Hope Island!


I do want to state on a side note that we are still working on the limited physical edited of the game for the Gameboy Color, but we will be putting that out as soon as possible.


You can find the browser edition of Worm-Cation on our website (it will be available on my website as well), but you see the game slowly pop up across the web on various other stores (ours has the best deal!), so keep your eyes open!

This is the armor worn by the titular character in my upcoming novel. It's taken about six months to take the character's image from my mind, to a 2D artist, to a 3D artist (that artist only handled the armor), then back to me, where I had the pleasure of piecing it all together!

My studios (Laughing Matter Studios/LMStudios) is finally wrapping up our game of catch-up. WHile Table Manners was in production, our resources were all diverted away from the Table manners comic. Rest assured, we have things just about where they should be! Here's to more comics!

Dark Matter: Code Red was published January 9th, 2018. The original cover art was a very detailed image of the planet Managarus and it's two moons, and while the cover was very nice, it did not give off the science fiction vibe I had wanted.

Thanks to modern technology, I have been building a library of CGI Dark Matter characters and have since constructed a much more interesting Dark Matter cover. If you own the Kindle edition of the novel, I ask for your patience as you will soon receive the updated version automatically (unless auto-updates are disabled on your device; you'll need to manually update the novel).

I have been very vocal about a re-release for Dark Matter: Code Red and Dark Matter Rises. This is not that. This is merely an update to a book (Rises will be getting a similar treatment within a couple of weeks). The re-releases will be different in that they will feature even more illustrated covers and extra content, including a short story after each novel.

Follow the story of a young man shot into the action he fought to avoid. Collin Williams is a high-power mutant that was exiled to Earth two years ago. When a newly-discovered sibling is being crowned queen of Monarchus, he is thrown back into the cosmos. The Industry, an evil organization bent on stealing Collin's dark matter powers, is ready. They've prepared for war. Now, they test the Alliance. Collin has been restricted from utilizing his dark matter powers for two years. Will he be able to tap back into these powers and save the universe?
