Ran outside last night when I heard one of the owls near the house, stood and beheld in awe, but only managed to switch my video on in time for this.
Any of you comics folks ever been to Lucca Comics & Games? I'm realizing I might be in Italy around the same time and I'm trying to gauge whether it's going to be a nightmare of pop culture overwhelm or if I'll be able to see some amazing European comics.

Great turnout for the Highlander memorial screening for my dad tonight, which also featured the unsettling realization that I had, in fact, NEVER seen it. It‘s been such a cultural Thing in my life (and our household), I just assumed I had??
They asked me to introduce the Highlander screening tonight so I'm checking some facts against the ol' Wikipedia and I see there's no Peter Bellwood page yet. What if someone...made one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlan...

What's a poster you had in your room growing up? Surprising nobody: HMS Rose looking absolutely beat to shit. Part of a double-sided promo poster for Master and Commander that arrived tucked into the LA Times circa 2003. (Stayed a part of my room decor through two decades and multiple houses.)
