Good skies at Kroger Gas. Fueling up to drive up to Columbia, MO and the True/False film festival.

Amen

Makes me all the gladder about how well Mike Yaz has been doing this spring.

I wish there was some way to get the images back on these pieces, though I doubt it'll ever happen, in part because we played very loose with our illustrations back in those days.

It's surprisingly funny! Very different vibe from what the strip would later become.

“President Trump is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is a preventative skin treatment, prescribed by the White House Doctor," Sean Barbabella, the president's personal physician, said in a statement to NBC News.”

My unnamed preventative cream is causing a hideous oozing crust on my neck, but rest assured it is a very common cream that everyone uses

New York magazine sites have a glitch on Reeder where the wrong photos get loaded with stories and sometimes that is extremely unfortunate

Same reaction here. I get why people who haven't seen the old Elvis docs might find EPIC exciting and new but I felt like I'd seen a lot of it before.

A screenshot of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, with Luke defiantly standing against the Emperor. The 90s-style captions read: "You've failed, your highness. I'm forklift certified, like my father before me."

Sunday Dinner: Rotisserie chicken w/chimichurri, hash brown casserole, Dads Famous Salad™️, corn muffin w/apple butter.

Walking past the Girl Scout cookie table in front of the grocery store, overheard a scout say to her parents, “I don’t know. I’m a kid. Do you expect me to know?” I’d like to give that young lady the Not Giving A Dang badge.

The new Crooked Fingers is excellent, extending a 33-year unblemished streak of excellence from indie rock hero Eric Bachmann, dating back to “Web in Front.” Genuinely one of the most reliable people in my life.

Meme of Vince Carter saying “I got one more in me.”

the album art for Oops! All Heel Turn 2! with the classic Oops! All Berries! cereal box art with an added snake biting the Cap'n's nose superimposed on top of the wrestling crowd featured on the cover art for the Mountain Goats 2015 smash shit record Beat the Champ.

if you were to ask me which of my @themountaingoats.bsky.social comps best encapsulates what it is i love about seeing tMG live, it would be this one, my newest one: Oops! All Heel Turn 2

No, my Matlock coverage was cancelled, sorry to say.

Over the past few weeks one of THE PITT guest actors has been a guy from MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN, and in my addled "the people and places on my TV are real" brain, I thought to myself. "Well that makes sense, since MAYOR is shot in Pittsburgh."

*sigh* great. There’s obviously some sort of device nearby I’m gonna need to use this on to compete a puzzle so I gotta lug it to the leftist coffee shop and bookstore with me

This sounds like what the mayor says in the first act of a movie called FIRE TORNADO.

Any time the Jack Kirby 2001 comic comes up I get to re-link to the old piece I wrote about that series for The Dissolve. Those are the rules! thedissolve.com/features/adv...

They can't air it for a variety of reasons, but I was on the episode of Jeopardy where I did so bad they had to shoot me in the thigh

This letter written by Max Scherzer’s daughter, Brooke, to the Blue Jays, hoping they would re-sign her dad 😭😭😭😭😭

Amazing! Baseball is the best 🥺
