When I was a kid there was a rad video store/motorcycle repair shop in Portland. I once asked the owner if he had a copy of Where the Buffalo Roam, and he told me no, he wouldn’t carry it, because he once had to punch out Hunter S Thompson for calling him the N-word.

Man, I’m glad this guy isn’t a proctologist.
“Time is a flat circle. With a bunch of numbers on it. And one long arrow representing minutes, and a shorter one representing hours. Wait. Not time, clocks! I meant clocks. Clocks are flat circles. Man, I am so high right now.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
I cannot stop thinking about this picture I saw on the back of a HVAC repair van. Is the Christ figure carrying the cross shaped duct a clump of dirt? A filter? Is he going to allow himself to be crucified to save us from the sin of faulty air conditioning? What is the metaphor here?!

‘Three Men and a Baby’ probably shouldn’t make me cry this much. or, y’know, arguably at all.
When I first saw this picture of Joe Walsh I got really excited because I thought they were making a movie where Patrick Stewart played John Cougar Mellencamp.
Did you know that the original Hamburglar was played by “Bob” from Twin Peaks? Not the actor who played Bob, the character.
Here is my Jane Yolen story, which I suspect is a pretty common one, or at least a variation thereon. I grew up on her books. One of my earliest memories is my dad reading Commander Toad books to me at the South Bend public library. Then I grew up and got a job in comics publishing. (1/)
I grew up reading Jane Yolen books and loving them. The first FAVORITE book I remember having was Commander Toad and the Planet of the Grapes. Lately, I’ve been reading How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You to my four month old baby. The world is a richer and more wonderful place thanks to her work.
My 4th grade teacher Mr. Wheeler told us that if Nicaragua went communist, they were probably going to send their army across the border at night to murder our parents. We lived in New Hampshire. A few years later he was fired for throwing a desk at a kid.

This is an esoteric beef but someone should hire me to write an actual tribute to the impact of Dorothy Parker this year. Lots of essays say she could have been one of the great writers, but check out this hot take: she literally is one of the great writers.
It turns out that babies are a lot like men in the 1950’s: -they don’t know how to cook or clean anything -they drink a surprising amount of milk -they have to wear a hat if they’re going outside

Thoughts and prayers to Simon Bar Sinister. I disagreed with his “shooting Underdog with a ray gun” policy, but wish him a speedy recovery. 🙏
Can’t believe old timey folks invented canopy beds just so God couldn’t watch them have sex. Like, they really thought God didn’t have anything better to do than watch their silly, lice ridden, medieval butts bone down? C’mon! He’s God! He’s got cable!
“A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou-“ “Awww, that’s so sweet” “Don’t interrupt. As I was saying, we need bread, wine, and Thou…sand island dressing. Oh, and Swiss cheese. Are you going to write this down? I want everything to go just right for my wine and reuben party.”
Reading what I think is a beloved middle reader classic: Wow! This book is a lot more graphic than I had remembered. *look at cover* “Fuck Everblasting?”
The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians. We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.
Someday, I’ll go a whole day without thinking about Neal Adams’ Skateman. Today is not that day
