Corporate media: “You know what would turn the public opinion against this CEO-killing folk hero that everybody thinks is super hot? Knowing that they could literally watch him fuck.” Great work, y’all. Truly fantastic.

People think the chipmunk had that big A on his outfit because his name was Alvin, but you’ll notice the other two didn’t wear their initials. No, in fact, Alvin was forced to wear that letter because he was a disgusting little whore.

So, not technically my final drawing of 2024, but definitely my last sketchbook entry of the year. After recently doing that profile of Count Orlok from memory and missing the mark a bit, i decided to refresh my memory and do an another somewhat more screen-accurate take on Eggers’ NOSFERATU.

No matter how much skill you acquire, drawing reveals something indelible about yourself that maybe even you don't comprehend. You're confessing, not flexing. We're connecting with your vulnerability as much as your talent. Hiring a robot to spackle over those faults is a cosmic goof.

Just noticed that this week is the 20th anniversary of Young Zombies In Love at the NY Fringe Festival. (That's the pop/rock musical Gm7 and I wrote way back when.) I see that I have not updated the website in the intervening years. emeraldrain.com

Last night, I went to a Comics Reading event at an indie comics store/flower shop over in Northern KY. I never realized things like this even existed, especially not in this area. It was a delightful experience, and I walked out of there with a fat sack of new books that I’m excited to sit and read.

I’m super excited to share my first official @eccomics cover, for @onipress’ upcoming EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS. This one is a retailer exclusive variant for my dear old pals at @upupawaycomics in Cincinnati, where I’ll be signing on Wed July 24, when the book drops!

The same mother/child/ghost image, but with the full EC Comics trade dress for Epitaphs From The Abyss included above it.

Hard to believe that the harsh crackdown on campus protesters only caused the protests to spread to other campuses and to become more aggressive in their tactics, just like every historian has been predicting for the past month.

Our video for @laidbackcountrypicker’s cover of BELA LUGOSI’S DEAD won 2nd Place in the Best Music Video category at the @appalachianfilmfestival this weekend! It was an honor to accept this award on behalf of LB & Honey, @zach_curry & @musicalmoonshine, & all the friends/family who made it happen.

Lorenzo Music voiced Garfield and Peter Venkman in the old cartoons. Bill Murray was Garfield and Venkman in the movies. Because of the quantum entanglement established between these universes, Chris Pratt will play Peter Venkman in the next Ghostbusters movie. Sorry folks, I don’t make the rules.

Biden should have a little drone fly into the courtroom and shoot Alito right in the forehead with a Nerf dart with a note on it that just says, “Sure. Go for it. What’s the worst that could happen?”

A couple years back, I was fiddling with what my general take on Wolverine was, choosing to go more the nasty, hairy, little angry fireplug route, keeping in mind that old rumor about James Cameron wanting to cast Bob Hoskins back in the 90s. Hope y’all dig it.

I’ve never cared to watch a Jake Paul fight, but I am looking forward to the moment that Mike Tyson punches him in the breadbasket and Paul’s entire skeleton flies out of his back like a Simon Bisley LOBO comic.

If I was a billionaire, I would personally make sure that there was perpetual funding for The Muppet Show, and make sure that it was immune to cancellation. It should not be treated as a business, because it is a public service.

Not covid. Any vaccine. This is how you create new, vaccine-resistant strains of long-defeated viruses. It’s a path to mass unnecessary death. Just profoundly stupid, unfathomably dangerous garbage. And it’s about to be the position of the Republican Party.

Thank you to everyone for your responses and, in particular to @mizzelle.bsky.social for sending the Youtube link to the Richmond speech. The link below starts right when Trump promises that he will ban all federal funding to any school that has any vaccine mandates. Measles, anyone?

Dark Brandon should drop a press announcement with Seal Team Six all suited up and standing behind him. He just walks up to the podium in his sunglasses and says, “Go ahead, guys. Give presidents full legal immunity. What’s the worst that could happen?”
