It's not just movies that have less sex than they used to, and it's not just today. Way back in 2013 we had to cut this stunningly erotic moment from Superior Foes of Spider-Man #3 (more info in alt text)

A young couple having the saddest sex ever. She looks bored beyond measure. He's wearing a Ben Cooper-style Iron Man halloween mask. There are two little wiggle lines over his butt, indicating his twitchy little half-thrusts. My editors at Marvel tried to get it approved, but it wasn't going to happen- not in a book with "Spider-man" in the title. The panel was cut entirely and replaced with a caption floating in white space.

I drew this cursed image at my desk at Helioscope, and my studiomates had to put up with my asking them about one tiny revision after another. "Is this funnier?"  Line art by me, Steve Lieber. Color by the always brilliant Rachelle Rosenberg.

“You are like my ideal showgoing partner, and i would love to do it again. Not that i’m asking you on a date necessarily but to be clear i would absolutely ask you on a date” reader i am as smooth as 80 grit sandpaper and yet: number secured!

Spent 30 minutes at the LCD Soundsystem show tonight dancing with this insanely cute blonde and actually managed to find the courage to ask for her number after the show was over…. Taken. Boooooooooooo

A friend just sent me me this and i don’t get it but i 100% feel it: “i have used up all of my ability to communicate and it didn’t work yes i want a waffle no whipped cream, two coffees at a time. no i don’t know what she want, she can fuck off” entirely as pointing, shaking head, two

Wanna know something cool? Our sun was born in a stellar nursery and almost certainly has siblings we could identify through spectral traces but we only have one candidate even though identifying siblings should be really easy :)

Okay help me out: i want to take a birthday mining trip, should i go to montana for sapphires or California for benitonite? I have lots of sapphires and no benitonite but i love them so much.

Okay i am being yelled at and i am still so sad about the breakup but i will say that the best thing about being poly-adjacent is that “also you have a boyfriend” is an incredible rhetorical device. Not worth the sadness and pain but a great bright spot

The lady who dumped me is Posting Through It by subskeeting me and i mostly felt bad until she posted the least charitable interpretation of something i said and now i’m kinda pissed off. I tried to not say anything here but i’m too het up. :-/

A child is walking down a beach covered in tiny Donald Trumps. He sees an old man walking along, picking them up and hurling them into the waves. The child asks the man why: “you’ll never pitch them all in.” The old man picks one of the Trumps up, says, “it matters to this one,” and yeets it away.

Btw Sumo all you can eat sushi in Nopo? Amazing. Quality and creativity are on par with Bamboo and at $36 a head its a steal. Totally worth skipping my GLPs for a week for, zero regrets.
