This week is a special week for this Substack. It has been a year since this page was started. That’s right… a whole 52 weeks of cartoons, short-short stories, movie reviews and writing excerpts.

Don’t worry… there’s more to come. We have some things special lined up for our anniversary next week, so keep your eye on this space and spread the word.

Remember that the paperback version of MOVIE TRUTH: REEL ANSWERS TO REAL QUESTIONS is now available on Amazon for $9.99. It makes the perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries, bar mitzvahs… what have you. You can also check out the Kindle version here.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BLOCKHEADZ is developing. There have been a slew of new doodles of our favorite stick figures, and there are some shocking delights to be found throughout. Keep your eye on this space to find out where you can get your own copy. And if that’s not enough to entice you, think about why Benjamin Géza and I had a whole line of messages back and forth about “leather daddy Jon Arbuckle.” (The answers will all be revealed this fall!)

Also in development news, revisions on THEY HISS! are almost complete. With luck, we will make it to a Halloween release for this.

More to come…

Thanks for reading Silver Gecko Publishing! This post is public so feel free to share it.

*99 Shots are complete stories, new each week, totaling 99 words or less.

Training Days by Kevin Carr

When the Benefactors landed, the Home Race welcomed them.

Over the course of months, the Benefactors provided a means of feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and bringing peace to the nations of the Home Race. It was hard to deny they were benevolent.

The Benefactor even supplied the Home Race with macro-realistic pleasure androids for anyone who desired one.

And this went on for many years.

Until one day, a warrior race attacked the Benefactors, and the Home Race swiftly came to their defense.

By this point, no one realized that they had been very well trained.
