I am Adam Casalino. Writer. Lover. Friend

If you are looking for stories, writing tips, and general foolishness you’ve come to the write place.

  • Writing, writing, writing.

    I dunno, I like to look at this blog as partly therapy for myself, a way to work out my emotions and ideas. So please indulge me for a moment, if you will. As you readers know, this site is all about the comic. I made a goal (WAAAY back in 2009)…

  • Silent Blog?

    I apologize to all you readers, for the lack of blogging on this site, since I know most of you adore my narcissistic, inane ramblings. Joking aside, I do want to try to engage fans of the comic (hopefully you) as much as I can, but I don’t want to bore…

  • Sketches, sketches, and more sketches! But that’s it.

    Here are a few pages from my sketchbook.  I’ve been working out a few ideas.  Some eagle eyes might notice something that’s coming up ahead.  Also, I’m still working out the map for the story, and here’s the latest working sketch.

  • Holy Moley! A Wizard of Quippley map!?
