Hey, I’m Bryce.
You might know me. You might not. I’m a writer! Typically I make comics with an artist named Scott Malin. Together we founded Studio Baba and launched the webcomic “The Panty Bear” and crowd-funded, ongoing series “Kindred Heavens.” Oh, we also created a hit Twitter OC, “Lucia.” Neat.
But here, this is my domain. That’s right—I’m flying solo! This website will serve as a gathering ground for my short stories, random thoughts, and eventually, I hope, a novel or two.

In the 1960s, humanity was thriving. Every day new technological innovations were being unhatched. They built spaceships and conquered the moon. They built TVs and conquered boredom. It seemed nothing could stop their endless expansion. That is, until they achieved their greatest feat yet: The Big Hop.
And it all started with a little hop.
A man who was once reckless, a bottle-rocket speeding against life and all of its ‘rules’, recalls a strange journey down a lonely stretch of highway that changed his life forever, all because of a warning he didn’t heed…
