Serf and Terf


I like to think I handle disrespect pretty well. I’ve been told I’m not funny before, I’ve been told that my cartoons are badly drawn, and it doesn’t bother me.

Leave Those Kids Alone


Here at Mike The Pod we have a motto. Mike The Pod is me. Here at me we have a motto.

Year of the Grinch


For this Christmas, and probably every Christmas afterward, I have made a command decision to be brutally honest with myself, and everyone else. I would say that I hope others can accept my choice, but this is personal. I won’t even ask you to bear with me.
