This has been a rat-bottom awful week for my mental health; post con blues, chemical imbalance, being roasted alive at work, something had turned the OCD up to 11 and it's been hard to function. Thank you for your patience. Time to throw out that broccoli.

A comic book panel where Daredevil sits in a dark room with a clock that reads 11:10 on a nearby side table.  Elbows on his knees as he sits in a chair, he thinks to himself: "Broccoli in the refrigerator's going bad."

We want to give you a heads up about something going on. This summer we had to resolve a legal matter, and it's nearly wiped us out financially. SO, we are throwing a little streaming party on Saturday, September 26 from 12pm to 8pm Pacific in order to recover. www.patreon.com/duckfeedtv/p...

Hi folks, we're writing to let you know about two related things that are happening very soon, but first a little backstory. This summer we

Wow, that was a blast! I know the bar is awfully l-o-w, but best RESIDENT EVIL movie yet. Just go for the ride, it's the first horror/sf franchise entry feature in a long time that instantly engaged me & kept its pacing & sanity/insanity to the final frame.

Today is Joe Kubert's birthday. I did a stack of short backups in the war books Joe edited back at the beginning of my career and each job was an education. Joe would correct my storytelling, pencils, inks as I turned the work in. This page, he pretty much just totally re-inked :) Thanks, Joe ❤️

Magneto's "real" name timeline based on comic book release date (and duration as "real"): Magnus: 1980 (13 years) Erik Lehnsherr: 1993 (15 years) Max Eisenhardt: 2008 (18 years) I still think of that last one as the new one, but it's now been his real name for longer than any of his earlier names.

I listened to that new Elephant Graveyard video about the Rogansphere this week. I’ve heard dry humor before, but EG’s humor comes in powdered form. That’s NOT meant as a dig. Whoever he is, he’s very good at what he’s doing. And he does it in a way that really sneaks up on you.

Honestly? The primary reason why I didn't transition much younger was an UTTER lack of information. I'd seen trans women on talk shows being humiliated and treated like villains. But never a trans man. Until Brandon Teena. I learned about him and his murder via the Jerry Springer show.

Would have been STUNNED that we transitioned. We didn't know it was a thing we could DO. But mostly? That fact that we're still goth would have made us insufferable. The gloating. Dude. XD

BREAKING NEWS: The United Nations’ top human rights body reported that it found “reasonable grounds” to believe that the U.S. committed war crimes in Iran.

also of note at the shop this week, two special issues to celebrate Joe Kubert’s centennial: a facsimile of DC Special #5 (the Kubert issue) and a new gallery of some of the man’s more notable covers. you could buy just these two issues and consider your week well spent.

DC Special #5 (Facsimile), and Joe Kubert: 100 Years: A Life in Covers, both covers by, uh, some guy I guess.
