MM 37 - Am I the Asshole?

FWACATA ·

2025/11/10

There’s a question I think everyone should ask themselves from time to time:Am I the asshole?If you’ve never asked that question — not once, not even a whisper of it — then odds are, yeah… you probably are.We’ve all met assholes. You’ve probably encountered one today. Hell, in the last 48 hours, you’ve likely seen someone cut in line, ghost a friend, act superior at work, or just let a door slam in your face. And if you can’t think of anyone? Congratulations, it’s you.But here’s the thing: being an

Monday Motivation #37 – VETE A VER! (GO AND SEE!)

FWACATA ·

2025/11/03

It’s Monday. You know what that means.It’s Monday Motivation fing time.*I’m on the road right now — my wife’s singing at an event, there’s no parking, and I’m sitting in the car like a responsible adult who’s pretending to be productive. And you know what? The hustle is real.So today’s theme comes from my dad, who had this one saying that’s been burned into my DNA:“¡VETE A VER!” — Go and see!See, when I was a kid, my dad would get so tired of me wondering about stuff. You know the kind of wondering

MM 35 - HIGHS and LOWS with FWACATA in the MIDDLE

FWACATA ·

2025/10/27

Hey, what’s going on, everybody?It’s Monday, the 27th (I think? My calendar’s buried somewhere under art supplies), and I’m feeling that post-Kickstarter glow. FWACATA #3 wrapped up strong — fully funded, stretch goals flying — and I’m buzzing. There’s no better way to start a Monday than on a high note.Because here’s the truth, man: life is highs and lows. That’s it. That’s the whole game. One day you’re up, the next you’re face-first in a puddle of ink, wondering if your printer hates you. But

MM 35 - Balancing Art and Life

FWACATA ·

2025/10/23

(NOTE: SORRY FOR THE LATENESS, BUT IT WAS A PAIN IN THE ASS EARLIER THIS WEEK TO POST THIS! SO POSTING TODAY!)You don’t “find” balance — you learn to dance between deadlines and dinner dishes.Comics take time — a lot of it. And time is the one thing life never seems to have enough of.We chase this mythical balance: perfect productivity, creative satisfaction, and a stable existence. But the truth? Balance is a rhythm, not a ratio.Some weeks you create like a machine; others, you barely doodle

MM 34 - Being Better than your Options

FWACATA ·

2025/10/13

We all like to think we’re good people. But are we really? Or are we just people who haven’t been given the chance to be bad yet?That’s the thing my dad used to say: “People are how they are, and people are where they should be.” And as harsh as it sounded, he was right. Because most of the ugliness in the world isn’t random—it’s self-inflicted. There are very few tragedies. Doesn’t mean you don’t help or push people down, no, not at all, but many of us are where we put ourselves. The truth is,

Hey, everybody—it’s Monday, September 29, and this is your Monday Motivation Podcast by FWACATA.What’s up, heathens? You sweaty, creative masses of chaos? Yeah, that thing that happened—wild, right? I mean, I don’t know what happened, because I pre-recorded this. But thanks to the internet’s nonstop firehose of madness, I’m sure something insane just went down. So now it sounds like I know what’s happening. See how that works? “Dude, did you SEE that shit?” Boom. Timeless.Anyway. Welcome back to the

RECENT ABSENCE and TIN HAT EPISODE

Hey everybody—it’s Juan. Yeah, I know, I’ve been MIA. Missed a couple of episodes since September. My bad.And no, I wasn’t out there selling my ass on Biscayne Boulevard… but honestly? It came close. Life’s been busy as hell, and when the bills scream louder than your muse, you gotta answer.But that’s not the only reason I hit pause. Truth is, after the Charlie Kirk incident, it got really hard to sit down and record something motivational. I mean, how do you scream “be good, make art!” into the mic

FWACATA #3 KICKSTARTER LAUNCHES!

FWACATA ·

2025/09/19

[El Paso, TX –] — FWACATA — pronounced [fwah-KAH-tah], a phonetic variation of the Cuban Spanish fuácata — is a word that can mean POW!, WHAM!, or the sting of sudden impact. It can also describe being completely broke — “estar en la fuácata” — the kind of comic book broke that hits when you can’t stop backing rad indie projects. But for artist and writer Juan Navarro, FWACATA is more than an interjection. It’s a way of life. A philosophy. And the name of his quarterly, Latinx-led self-anthology

MM 31 – Sharpening Your Skills: Revisiting...

FWACATA ·

2025/09/08

When was the last time you practiced the basics? I’m talking about drawing cubes, playing scales, writing clean sentences—the broccoli of creativity. Not glamorous, not sexy, but absolutely essential.The truth is, fundamentals aren’t just for beginners. They’re for everyone. Athletes run drills. Musicians practice scales. Even chefs revisit chopping onions. Why? Because mastery is maintenance.Skipping fundamentals is like skipping the gym—you’ll eventually regret it. And the best part? The stronger

FWACATA ·

2025/09/01

If there’s one thing that chaps my balls (and trust me, there are many), it’s ego.You know the kind—spoken-word monologues that sound like they were written by a mirror:“I am the truth, I am the fire, I am the cosmic latte of your reflection.”Cool. Congrats. But here’s the thing: creating isn’t about being the cosmic latte. It’s about doing the thing, failing at the thing, and sometimes—even more importantly—celebrating the fact you did the thing at all.Because being creative is like being in a bad

MM 29 – Breaking Chains: Overcoming Fears That Hold...

FWACATA ·

2025/08/18

The other day I saw this video of a professor talking about cringe culture—how being openly hopeful, positive, or ambitious somehow makes you the human equivalent of a “kick me” sign. Better to be nihilistic, detached, and “cool” than risk being seen trying.And you know what? She’s right. We’ve built a culture where fear is fashionable. Fear of being judged. Fear of being canceled. Fear of failing so hard that you leave a crater.But here’s the truth: fear’s only job is to keep you bland and “safe.”

HEY HEY KIDS!Yeah, I said it Krusty the Clown–style. It’s Monday Motivation time, and you know what that means: caffeinate your soul, slap yourself awake with a paintbrush, and prepare to scream into the void—in the most beautiful, artful way possible.This week on FWACATA, we’re talking total artistic freedom. That holy grail where there are no rules, no deadlines, no clients, no critics—just you, your tools, and that screaming void begging you to make something weird, raw, honest, maybe even kind

MM 26 - A society for intelligence

FWACATA ·

2025/07/28

Okay, look—I had to sit down and face a hard truth. We all have our “-isms,” right? Some people are racist, some are classist. Me? I’m dumbist. I have a low tolerance for stupidity. Not ignorance—ignorance can be educated. But active, enthusiastic stupidity? That’s my villain origin story.I realized this while standing in line at the grocery store, overhearing someone explain how they “don’t trust electricity.” And it hit me: I’m a misanthrope with WiFi. But I’m not alone.Let’s be real—we live in a

That was me last weekend.This episode of the FWACATA Monday Motivation Podcast is about conquering fear—or, more accurately, holding hands with it and whispering, “Please don’t kill me” while pretending to be cool.In a short trip meant to cap off a busy but beautiful summer, I took my wife up to Fort

In this fiery and heartfelt episode of the FWACATA podcast, Juan dives into something that’s been gnawing at his soul: the soul-crushing apathy many folks are clinging to in the face of horror. From Gaza to ICE raids, from flood zone tragedies to TikTok indifference, we’re living in a world where not choosing is becoming its own kind of evil.Juan shares a raw convo with an old friend—actor, comedian, fellow chaos juggler—about the plague of “I’m not political” energy infecting people who should know

Hey hey kids—yes, it's another slightly-late-but-definitely-worth-it episode of the FWACATA Monday Motivation Podcast. I know, I know… we missed last week. But it’s summer, and without the structure of a school week, I’ve entered that magical zone where time is fake and weekends are theoretical.So what’s today’s sermon from the Church of FWACATA? Simple: check your expectations before they wreck your attitude.This week I talk about how something as dumb as traffic, a melted cheeseburger, and a

MAKE ART, STUPID!

FWACATA ·

2025/06/23

It’s another Monday—or Tuesday, or whatever, and yeah, World War III might be trending, but that doesn't mean you stop creating.In this episode, I ramble (with purpose!) about stomach bugs, soap sniffing, and the urgent need to keep making stuff, even if it’s trash. Especially if it’s trash. Because making art right now isn’t just therapeutic—it’s rebellion. It’s flipping the bird at the madness and saying, “I’m still here, and I’ve got glitter glue.”Whether you’re a full-time creative, a part-time

MONDAY MOTIVATION 21 - YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WIN

FWACATA ·

2025/06/09

This week’s FWACATA Podcast isn’t your usual Monday motivation. It’s a call to attention. A gut check. A reminder that resistance starts with presence, and that presence begins with you.There’s a growing weight in this country—a pressure building from misguided policy, ICE raids, political cruelty, and systems designed to divide us. The fear is real. The threats are real. But so is the power of people who refuse to bend, who refuse to disappear, and who refuse to be silent.This episode is for
