I’m Jimmy Grist, and I write and draw stuff. I originally made this site to keep a list of publications for short stories, but then I decided to add a comic and make that the main focus. That’s why the URL is my name, not the comic’s name. Also, if I ever make a different comic in the future, I won’t need to buy another website.

So the header and the front page are all Dinosaur Kid. Behind the scenes, seedy self-promotion goes on. I may eventually work in space for some nonfiction writing I just like to do, appraising videogames or something like that. Maybe not. There’s something to be said for not throwing that stuff up, too.

The site’s pretty simple because I’m still new to running it, but here are all of the things you’d expect a webcomic to do:

• Social media: I’m not on Facebook because I don’t like their privacy policy, their business practices, or the meta-social relationships that play out in their venue. I won’t be putting “Like” buttons on my posts and I won’t enable any Facebook meta to track your visits and steal info from your friends and aggregate you into a Matrixian human-energy BTU-battery farm. But I am on Twitter, mostly just to post about new comics and read about chimpanzees.
• Conventions: Nothing on my schedule right now, but if you know of anything near the middle of the map, let me know!
• Advertising/Tip Jar: Uh, I don’t know. I still haven’t pulled the trigger on either of these things, but the site’s not really getting enough hits yet for me to have to worry about it. If you like the comic enough that you somehow want to compensate me for it, just show it a friend. Honestly, I would rather gain a reader than have someone send me $5 over PayPal (though that’s a false dichotomy).
• Merchandise: Haha.

Feel free to leave me a comment, tweet me a twote, or  send me an email using my name at gmail.com (as in, if you took the “.net” off this website and replaced it with “@gmail.com”).
