I have been bitten by a wombat and an owl (not at the same time)
I thought a Miyazaki would be a good wind-down after a stressful day. Friends, this is not really a chill-out movie. No regrets though #JustWatched
Got my copy in the mail today of Where the Wild Gigs Were: Vol 2 @hozacrecordsbooks.bsky.social book.. with a piece in it by yours truly! Big thanks to @timdaggerboy.bsky.social and Eric Eggleson. I wrote about early 90s times at long-gone NYC rock club The Spiral. hozacrecords.com/product/wtwg...
Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of my moving here to Seattle. That's nuts
Part serrated satire of privilege, racial politics, publishing, and social media; part psychological thriller about a highly corrosive and disordered combination of narcissism, obsession, and profound loneliness, all from the antihero's POV. Dark, tricky, and compulsively readable. #JustRead
The book my sib @cavetoonist.bsky.social inked just won an Eisner Award! (It's like the Oscars for comics IYDK)
Heidi MacDonald@comixace.bsky.social · 2w agoBest Publication for Kids: The Cartoonists Club, by Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud (Scholastic Graphix) The duo come out for a semi-well rehearsed (i wonder how) patter, but very cool these two got to win for this, which Telgemeier calls "Understanding Comics meets Smile." #eisnerawards #SDCC
Hong Kong action movies are not my forte, and I forget where I heard about this. I gotta start keeping better notes about how things end up on my watch list. #JustWatched
The latest collection of Love and Rockets stories from one of our greatest storytellers. A couple of momentous occasions for Jaime's long-running cast of unforgettable characters. #JustRead
I like Kliban mugs and my wife likes Boynton mugs, but somehow we make it work ❤️
If this was 2008 I would be losing my shit over that X-Files Lego set on my blog
Not to brag, but I used to live in Jimothy's neighborhood
Hard to decide between these two (neither of which I saw until a few years later, so maybe a bit of a cheat)
Gretchen Felker-Martin PRE ORDER CHIMERA 2.16.27 🍉@scumbelievable.bsky.social · 2w agoWithout saying your age, what's your favorite movie that came out when you were 18?
Time for some Russian lit-tratyure. This book had been on my list for about a dozen years, and I decided to finally get to it. My full review ran pretty long so I put it in the alt text. #JustRead

Hey everyone. It's been a while, I know. I'll spare you the apologetics (but still give a heartfelt thanks for still reading this, if you are): seems like everyone just finding how to hang in by skin...

A handful of local comix I picked up at the Hot Off the Press fest yesterday (details in alt text). Always a great time (except when I lost my glasses, but fest organizer Larry Reid knew where they were. Larry knows all).

Tonight I met someone who went on a date with a Harlem Globetrotter who turned out to be married
I struggled a bit with how many stars to give this. Starting a bit of a Sturges run, I think. #JustWatched
Grateful to have cats who are supremely unbothered by fireworks, even with the window open.
At the thrift store yesterday, for a split second, I considered buying this shirt to wear today, but I quickly decided against it.

Wife, asking how to categorize an expense: "What's this $6 charge on the credit card?" Me: "Oh, I just dropped some money to a comics artist I like." Wife: "Okay, so charity."
