Yes, THAT Steven Grant...

It's too bad we're at the stage the phrase "western civilization" is almost only ever spoken aloud now as a racist dog whistle (wrongly) meaning "Christian White Man created & dominated civilization." It's SO much more complex, messy & fun than that...

Graham was on the news yesterday bragging we will win quickly by bombing Iran back to the Stone Age.

Wasn't that Putin's "quick win" plan for Ukraine? How's that working for him?

How well did it work for us in Vietnam?

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

California Screaming: Horror in the Golden State A chilling comic book anthology of California-themed horror stories by top creators.

My pal David Avallone has a horror comic anthology Kickstarter going on at the moment. Do him a solid & go back it. Only a couple days left. Thanks.

Y'know, you REALLY want leaders who are (at minimum) at least somewhat troubled when they send soldiers off to die in wars, not leaders who are excessively cavalier about the body bags coming back home...

C'mon, we all know Trump's real reason for attacking Iran was "Time to show those punks who's boss - maybe it'll stop people talking about Epstein if I show what a macho president I am..."

Lovely hearing Trump & Hegseth bragging about how they only speak "American" (& not "YOUR damn language!") - to bilingual Latin American allies. ie "I'm ignorant & that makes me better than you!

Full disclosure: I don't speak much Spanish either, but I don't think it something to brag about...

The New York Times has published satellite imagery confirming what Iran said it was doing while Washington was busy telling you it wasn’t working. Nearly every major US base across the Gulf. Systematically and methodically has been attacked.

No idea & I'm not especially inclined to find out.

I find the overall practice of retro-connecting heroes to their arch-nemesis (like Bond & Blofeld) rather odious in general. It's lazy fanfic shit...

Started watching Young Sherlock, or, as I've already come to call it, Good Will Sleuthing. I'm only about half an episode in but so far it's... okay. I may end up pleasantly surprised, but as it stands now I can't see it ending up one of Guy Ritchie's greater achievements...

Lemme get this straight... mothers whose son or daughter was murdered/victimized by foreigners/illegal aliens are lionized by the administration (fine; not arguing against it), but the many more mothers whose son or daughter was murdered/victimized by Americans, they're not even worth acknowledging?

But Qatar is Trump's best friend now! Surely they wouldn't!

Scott is an absolute hero. A huge number of my favorite comics would not have happened without him.

Inks by Vinnie Colletta! (Cover, anyway...)

Guess 'Biden's economy' was even more devastating than even Trump - the greatest economic mind this country has ever seen! - could've guessed!

Yeah, no one ever asks me to be on panels there. Except Danny Fingeroth.

Six panels a year? What, you looking to grab Mark Evanier's spot or something?

That was it, yes. Me & Bob Camp, as it turns out...

If you haven't figured it out, the reason Trump dumped Noem is the House hearings this week made it obvious she was promoting herself instead of him - as well as trying to shift blame (probably with some cause) away from herself & onto him...

Everything else she did was forgivable...

The plot was "I want my check."

I haven't read it in 40 years, but to the best of my memory, it had no plot...

Same here. Only con I pay to go to is San Diego - but I never get a table there, & it's more along the lines of a family vacation...

Noem busy designing the logo for this nonsense to go with custom vehicles and outfits. It will be a whole new thing we have to pay for.

Just found out I wrote the 1st Mario-Donkey Kong comic ever, back in 1983.

Another career dubious achievement award!

When's Noam Chompsky going to meet his evil female twin, Noem Chompsky?

I didn't see any commercials for it, only an online "print" ad, but just from that I could smell Carl Hiassen all over it...

The feverish debate over the Rockford Files reboot has been rendered moot. It has already been rebooted - into ABC's RJ Decker, & moved to South Florida, courtesy of Carl Haissen...

How's come no character on TV is capable of keeping their damn cell phone charged?

Not to be too woke or anything, but maybe it'd be best to celebrate Kristi Noem's "lateral promotion" WITHOUT sexist slurs...

Now "special envoy" is usually a DIPLOMATIC title, so... the PERFECT job for America's most arrogantly petulant woman...

Don't forget Saudi Arabia also wants this war & has been pressuring Trump for it for months.

One wonders what payoffs from Saudi Arabia the many members of his family w/connections there are quietly getting...

Now, now... that's just bigotry against Markwaynes from OK...

THIS Markwayne, however... We DEFINITELY don't want HIM in charge of anything. He's an arrogant loyalist idiot (correlation, not cause & effect)...

Just the way Trump likes 'em...
