Hey, folks. There's a @gofundme.com set up for artist Andy Fish, who is going through a very tough fight with two forms of cancer. He and his wife, cartoonist Veronica Fish (my Blackwood series cohorts) could use some help during this very tough time. I'm donating, hope you can. tinyurl.com/4wa86a6c

Thanks to Annie Nickoloff @clevelandmag.bsky.social for this fascinating conversation with Val Mayerik, who was the first to draw Howard The Duck! The chat gets deep into the origins of the character, working with Steve Gerber, and the doomed film version. clevelandmagazine.com/articles/how...

How Howard The Duck Became Marvel’s Cleveland-Based Comic Book Character

Former Marvel comic book illustrator and Youngstown native Val Mayerik, who first drew Howard The Duck, shares the character’s story in this episode of The CLE Connection podcast.

There's a line in the newest Hong Sangsoo film, The Day She Returns, "It doesn't force a particular message or conclusion. It's simply better to go along with the film." We viewed Nicolas Winding Refn's Her Private Hell that way. It's a lavish opera in a tongue we couldn't understand but fell into.

Happy 80th Birthday, Bill Forsyth! Thank you for making a whole decade infinitely funnier.

Oh my! Marcel Dzama's poster for this year's New York Film Festival is stunning!
