For a little change of pace, this post is a link to a short story Tony published at FourStory, an affordable housing advocacy website he works for.  And yes, even gritty cartoon cities deserve affordable housing.

The short is clearly prose and therefore logically not a comic, but if you are interested in reading some of Tony’s writing sprinkled around the internet, here’s a sample:

Azad sat in the passenger’s seat as they drove away from the house, watching the water trickle toward him from a cracked and lifeless hillside. He was sixteen and remembered smoking with Jose and Matthew Garcia in their shared backyard when they first really noticed the yellow grass. They could see it forming between the hills before, but he always considered it a dividing line between the area his dad yelled at him for playing in and their backyard. But when it finally reached the edges of their backyard, Azad found that the yellow grass was wet.  And salty.

So if your interest is whetted, click HERE to the full short.  Thanks!
