Introducing Muckspout Split #1 Muckspout Split #1: A Punk Rock Comic Anthology Featuring J Prozac – Funding Now On Kickstarter! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Chicago, IL – October 28, 2025 – Get ready for sensory overload! Muckspout Split #1, a high-octane fusion of punk rock energy and visceral storytelling, is blasting onto the scene courtesy of Muckspout Punk Comics. This isn't just your average comic anthology; it's a raw, unapologetic explosion of creativity brought to you by Eric Cockrell, John MacLeod, and the legendary J Prozac. This 24-page dose of pure punk rock mayhem will also be accompanied by an EP of brand-new music from J Prozac, inspired by the stories within, creating a truly immersive experience. The Prozacs’ music has been a soundtrack to the underground for decades, and now, that same rebellious spirit fuels the narratives within these pages. J Prozac's creative input, alongside Cockrell and MacLeod, ensures a raw, authentic punk rock edge permeates every panel and note. Muckspout Split #1 is a triple shot of adrenaline, featuring: • Blister & Scorched Birth Meets The Prozacs: This isn't just a crossover; it's a collision of counter-culture icons! Eric Cockrell's Blister and Scorched Birth meet the one and only J Prozac in a story that's as wild and unpredictable as you'd expect. Witness the chaos as these forces of nature collide. • Feral Punk: Eric Cockrell introduces his explosive new creation, Feral Punk. This urban legend, raised by feral dogs, now fights for the downtrodden in the concrete jungle. Written and created by Eric Cockrell, with art by JT Molloy, this story marks the character's electrifying debut. Prepare for a dose of street-level justice with a punk rock twist. • The Stardust Projector: A monster-of-the-week adventure with a punk heroine! Nell, along with her dopey tech guy, Jimmy, investigates a strange musical artifact. Think: Warehouse 13 infused with the raw energy of an old-school slam pit! This is a deep dive into the weird and wonderful world of forgotten sounds. Written by John MacLeod, with art by Jason Miller and letters by Dave Lentz. • Diary of a Little Weirdo: A Poem by Daniel Aumiller. "We wanted to create something that truly captured the spirit of punk rock – raw, energetic, and unapologetically independent," says Eric Cockrell, “We poured the same energy and passion into these stories as J Prozac does into his music, so working with him has been a dream. Much love goes out to him and his bandmates for making this a reality. The comic and the soundtrack are two sides of the same coin – raw, loud, and in your face.” You aren't just backing a comic book; you're funding a multimedia punk rock experience!

John, Ben, Eric, and Billy Mays the Third discuss how Billy used to tour as a solo musician, but now streams on Twitch. Eric and Billy recall how they met in Chicago – Billy was there for a home and bath tradeshow.

The conversation began with a brief recounting of a coffee shop meeting between the two that took place around eight months after the passing of the Billy’ father. In February 2009, Billy had recently moved out of his father’s house and into his own apartment, was awoken in the middle of the night by a knock on his door and told to evacuate the building as it was on fire. Billy managed to escape unharmed, but the speaker lost all of his possessions, including his music, collections, and studio gear. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt.

In February 2009, Billy had a custom-made guitar that was priceless, but it was destroyed in a fire. Thanks to his father, the speaker was able to start over with a basic Fender Strat guitar and practice amp. This inspired them to write softer, emotionally-connected songs to process his shock and trauma. Later in 2009, his dad passed suddenly, leaving Billy unable to make music for three months. Eventually, the speaker was offered a free spot at a celebrity retreat and they used this opportunity to reconnect with.

He worked from August to November to make an album called Gently, which he considers to be the most unique thing he has ever made. He also spoke about how he sometimes retcons his music and updates the album art. Find Billy’s various projects at bm3.me
