Please note that if I have the opportunity to quote The Tick (animated series), that I will.

Peeing in the sink he shared with Derek Jacobi, making a badger video with Brian May, climbing Everest with Alan Hinkes … as the great actor blasts into his 90s, stars celebrate his ‘loudness and madness’

For 20 years now I've thought of this Venture Bros. scene every time I hear Depeche Mode
Me looking at the baseball playoff standings “Ah, any team I would have cheered for is now eliminated. This means I’m now rooting for *squints* Chicago White Sox?”
RIP Cronos. Few lyrics rip like “LAY DOWN YOUR SOULS FOR THE GODS ROCK AND ROLL!!!”

Seeing this, I felt obligated to list manga it killed me to leave off. Stuck to the one series per mangaka even though I’m sure I forgot many series!
scrambled together a top 30 just for fun, with only one series per manga artist allowed. hardly sufficient though--there's so much great manga out there, there's no way i could pick just 30
Following Joey’s lead, I went with the foundational stuff for me in regards to anime.
I tried to steer this towards stuff that were foundational or impactful in some way rather than “Here are 9 shows I like”
Spent much of today reconnecting with @paulchadwick.bsky.social’s excellent Concrete series. Effortlessly beautiful looking comics that bring to life incredibly human tales. There’s nothing else like it in comics.
A day late but before I ever read Year One, I had this in a tiny B&W paperback. It tells the pre-Crisis origin of the Dark Knight (and Robin) via a psychological mystery. I treasure my almost 30 year old copy.
For #BatmanDay quote with your favorite less-celebrated Batman comics. We'll start with a few of our picks:

I’ve also thought a lot about a comic I made over 20 years ago that is probably lost to the sands of the internet. Only ever posted it on two message boards, both of which are long gone. Pretty sure the originals were thrown away in one of my many moves.
Looking at most of my writing these days and can see why I’m feeling so burned out. Need a definite change of pace in what I’m covering.
When shitty people do shitty things in comics, I have to remember there are also a lot of great people doing great things that it’s important to lift up when you can.
Dayjob has once again changed role, which I took so I would not be on the phone all the time, into one that at the least I will spend half my schedule on the phone. And I doubt this change will include a pay increase. I say this all the time, I need to get out of this corporate job.
RIP Gloria Steinem who among her many accomplishments, recast Wonder Woman as a second-wave feminist icon on the first cover of Ms. Magazine
Got my physical copy of the first zine chapter of @funeralbeat.bsky.social’s new book. This is gonna be a real special book.
I’m back on Cinema Dual and given my previous history on the show, truly shocked I’m talking about Christopher Nolan. But hey, I get to spread the gospel of Tenet! cinemadual.com/2026/08/31/e...

Sigh, annoyed I can’t remember where I put my physical copy of Concrete: Sand and Stars #1.
Hey friends! I am waiting for freelance invoices to be filled and my account has dipped $115 into the negative, with bills coming out tomorrow and bank fees already accruing. If you can spare anything, even a share, I would be so grateful! 💛

I will never forget the time I was in Newbury Conics looking at records. These two guys were in the aisle in front of me doing the same. One of them finds one of Tim Curry’s solo albums. He gets real excited about it and says “Dude, look. It’s the guy from Home Alone II! He made an album!”
