Just a heads up, until our show drops this Twitter account is just gonna consist of retweets, and One Piece TCG and/or pro wrestling related tweets.
But the moment I can share news regarding Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, I will 👍🏿
Static Shock was and is one of the things that influenced me the most as a kid, because I got to see a kid and a hero that represented me.
I saw this episode when I was about 10 or 11. An age people claim is too young to know about racism. This isn't how I learned, I already
Immediately after the movie my 9yr old came home and started to make his own Miles Morales costume. He was never interested Spider-Man, until he saw

I can finally share this news (and this gif).
So excited to join the Marvel Studios family as Head Writer and Executive Producer for Spider-Man: Freshman Year! 🤟🕷️🤟
Nothing that I can share yet, just that I'm eager for everyone to see the show. Our crew worked (and is still working) hard to make Freshman Year feel special, fun and unique and I'm excited for the world to see it!
Just realized that two years ago today, I pitched to Marvel Studios. I never thought I'd have such a cool opportunity and if that was the end of the story, I'd still look at it as a win.
Luckily, that pitch led to me doing Spider-Man Freshman Year with an unbelievably

news came out and I think like everyone, I was shocked. Honestly, I shouldn't have been, considering the way things have been with Zaslav, but I thought if anything was safe, it was Craig. It performs exceedingly well, its an incredible show -
Me, typing up my gritty Captain Planet reboot pitch where the Planeteers are twenty-somethings that have given up on recycling in favor of drugs so I can sell it to the CW.
Show of hands, who would be interested in seeing a D&D campaign consisting of super funny and talented POCs from various jobs within the animation industry consisting of Writers, Boarders, Directors, Voice Actors and so on?
Imagine how absurd it would be if I murdered a man in cold blood, DIDN'T go to jail for, ya know, the murder of a man in cold blood. Then Cartoon Network was like, yo, we gotta let you go... but also, come back next year and we'll pretend like this shit never happened.
BREAKING: The Atlanta police officer who was fired after fatally shooting Rayshard Brooks in a Wendy's parking lot last year has been reinstated by Atlanta’s Civil Service Board.
Hold up. There's a movie about three generations of BLACK WOMEN with SUPERPOWERS and y'all had the damn nerve to hide it from us and not yell anybody?! What the... How... Y'all better get

Yep, complaining that people are having the tiniest bit of fun "during work hours" while the CEO's are constantly on vacation at their beach houses.
My family: So what do you do in LA?
Me: I write cartoons.
My family: Aww, where can I watch them?
Me: I can pull up an episode right now. One sec--
My family:
I love my job, I love my crew and I love being able to make Craig of The Creek with these super funny, talented, lovely people. This show and this crew is special and I'm SO proud to be a part of it.
As 2019 comes to a close, I'm the Head Writer on Craig of the Creek. I've written on 14 TV shows. I've voice acted. And I've been fortunate enough to do that in the last 4 years. A lot can change in 4 years, even more in a decade. Keep chasing your dreams in 2020 and beyond.
If you worked on the Steven Universe movie, Bravo. It is truly something special and I can't wait to watch it eighty more times. It's an incredible addition to an incredible show.
Stuff like this makes me so happy. Just... The joy in these pictures and the look on these kids faces are one of the best parts of getting to make Craig of The Creek.

Knew what racism is because we're taught at a far younger age than that. We're taught that people are gonna fear you, blame you, hate you, not because of what you do but how you look. But this story wasn't for me. It's for people that don't look like me. So they'd know how
This episode taught me a lot, and so did others like it. But apparently that message was lost on far too many. Kids NEED to know what racism is & how it feels at a young age. They need to know so they can have empathy. So they can care, because so many of you don't care at all.
Hard working and dedicated crew to make a show that I cannot wait for you all to see. To say I'm extremely proud of what we've done would be an understatement. I feel super lucky to have had this opportunity two years ago and could never have imagined where it would lead to.
Virgil felt, being hated for something he can't control. How Richie felt as someone that knows better, ashamed of the beliefs of his Dad. And how Mr. Hawkins feels, knowing that everything everyone fought for and still fight for, would still hurt and affect his son.
This has been a hard secret to keep, but im so excited to announce that I had the opportunity to write a story for DC Comics starring one of my favorite characters, The Red Hood!
It was an absolute dream working with

😭😭😭 The support from y'all has been unreal. I can't reply to everything but I see all the sweet things y'all are saying and I appreciate every one of y'all.
DONT SLEEP ON CRAIG OF THE CREEK OR JEFF TRAMMELL!!! He is (so far) the only black man in the industry who has directed me in an animated series. He’s a head writer of a GREAT show starring a black boy!!! He’s making waves in the animation industry AND DESERVES HIS FLOWERS!!!!
This is fucking ridiculous... Whoever is making decisions like this, should not be making decisions at all. It's as simple as that.
Imagine disrespecting people's work so much that you just make it unobtainable? Literal years of people's work, just gone. Unreal.

So here's a message for so-called allies. If your "support" starts and ends with your putting up a black square, then you aren't an ally. You're just a poser and a pretender. If people are asking you what that square means and you aren't educating them, then you're also a coward

It’s been an honor to play Cleveland on Family Guy for 20 years. I love this character, but persons of color should play characters of color. Therefore, I will be stepping down from the role.
And has been one since it's pilot episode. There aren't a lot of shows that START as polished and as well done as Craig, it takes time to find your stride after all. And as great as Craig started, it STILL found it's stride and got better and better, due to it's INCREDIBLE crew.
One of the things about running a show that no one warns you about-
How much you are CONSTANTLY in awe of the amazing job your crew is doing. Seeing them come together to do such kick ass work on a regular basis is ridiculously inspiring. I feel so lucky to work with them all.
Anyone that knows me knows I love this show. It was first time I saw representation on the screen and behind it when I learned about Dwayne McDuffie as an impressionable ten year old kid.
Do yourself a favor and watch one of my favorite shows of all time!
Hey friends! Just hopping on to say don't believe everything you read about Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! The second I can share news about the show, I promise that I will personally post it so you know it's legit! 👍🏿
I left a few months ago, but I just cleared out my office so now it feels real again. Thank you to the COTC Crew for four unbelievably fun and fulfilling years. Love you all and I can't wait to watch one of the best shows around as a fan.
Tomorrow at 8PM EST on my channel, myself and a bunch of black cartoon creatives will be getting together for a big live stream to raise money to donate to Campaign Zero.
Goal is $1,000 AT LEAST.
Games. Laughs. Cartoons. But most importantly?
Blackness. ✊🏾
Ya dig? Sho NUFF.
A crew consisting of literal LEGENDS of animation as well as young, hungry storytellers eager to bring something to Cartoon Network that they never got the chance to see themselves as kids. Backed up by a team that doesn't get enough credit for empowering these creators to tell
to so many of these people going on to create so much incredible art for years to come. Craig of the Creek is special, and that's because of those crews. So show them love and support. Let them and EVERYONE know that one Zas-hole can't kill the Creek.
Sparkle Cadet took the internet by storm recently, now her episode of Craig of The Creek airs on Cartoon Network tomorrow morning at 9 AM! You don't wanna miss the television debut of Sparkle Cadet!
My man! Zeno continuing to make Black history and showing love to his friends, fans and everyone just like him. So proud of this guy and the way he continues to raise the bar every single day. Couldn't have happened for a nicer and more deserving guy.
I was lucky enough to work on Craig (and Jessica) over the span of five years and I promise you, shows like that, leadership like that, a COMMUNITY like that is rare. I feel so proud of being able to contribute to that team and I know this unfortunate circumstance will lead
a MILLION people telling me that Boneless wings are just chicken nuggets right now. Yeah, who doesn't like chicken nuggets? Is this why the world is so miserable? Have some JOY.
Animation writers that are bad at art: would you be so kind as to attempt to draw a character from a show you've written on? This is solely for my own amusement.
Anyway, the reason I'm writing this is to show support to those crews of talented storytellers. The legends that any show would be lucky to have. The people who went into Craig as their FIRST EVER JOB and walked out ready to enhance any show that is lucky enough to hire them.
those stories. Obviously I'm talking about Matt and Ben, as well as the producers, the Execs that backed the show in telling the stories that needed to be told in the way they needed to be told. That support means SO much, just as the lack of support from some faceless entity

It's birthday so I'm going to shamelessly shill my first ever story for DC Comics. Truth and Justice Chapter 10 drops digitally TOMORROW on Comixology (and other places where you purchase digital comics) with the remaining chapters releasing on the following Fridays. 1/2
can be the difference between continuing a great show and propelling an extremely fun new one (shout out to the JBLW crew) and cutting them off at the knees to save a few dollars.
In a very surprising twist of fate, there are two episodes of two different shows I wrote on that come out today!
Watch a brand new episode of The Owl House, "Hooty's Moving Hassle" tonight at 8:45 pm!
And watch Glitch Techs on Netflix, at any time except 8:45 pm tonight!

day! Congrats to the crew on an INCREDIBLE season! (No spoilers in the comments!)
I was lucky enough to get to help out a bit on Book 3 and was absolutely blown away. Please watch Infinity Train on HBOMax so this crew can keep making this phenomenal show.
Happy anniversary to a show that inspired and empowered so many people, myself included. Much like Phil, I wanna thank everyone involved in bringing this show to us and giving us a young black hero to root for when we needed him, which is always.
I was really disappointed to learn that Spiderman Miles Morales isn't a full length video game and is instead a stand-alone that will probably just bridge Spiderman one and two. This article does a good job of explaining why.
My Rise of the TMNT episode was about Raph feeling left behind because his bros had mastered their mystic powers, so he secretly tries to master his mystic form. He ends up getting stuck in his hulking mystic form, so he asks Draxum for help. 1/2

lately has been incredible. I'm so proud to work on COTC and the crew is phenomenal.
It means so much to see everyone reacting to and enjoying it. Luckily there's a lot more coming, so please keep that supportive energy 😉👍🏿👍🏿❤️
The new episode of Craig of the Creek was so good and just so relatable!
We had aunties talkin about the kids and who’s “actin” up. We got cousins vibin, being nosey and textin their gfs. And we got Craig tryin to relate to his “cool” cousin and make convo.
Exciting news! 2016
