Thanks for the tip! I’m literally writing about how Love and Rockets influenced @allredmd.bsky.social in his early days, thinking about rereading Los Bros—and here this is! Bravo!

Photo of cartoonist Mike Allred sitting in a chair holding a Madman omnibus in his lap and what I believe is a Space Face print or poster.

Sending out the happiest of birthday wishes to the inimitable, @allredmd.bsky.social! Mike drew Catwoman in the Batman: Dark Age series written by Mark Russell, was the inker on the early 2000s Catwoman relaunch with Darwyn Cooke, and also drew the character for the Batman '66 comics.

Been home sick and grumpy for the past couple of days. The arrival of a box full of Madman and @allredmd.bsky.social goodness has greatly brightened my day.

Morrison’s “All Star Superman” is always cited as one of the best Superman stories (rightfully so) but @manruss.bsky.social & @allredmd.bsky.social ‘s “Superman: Space Age” is an absolute all-time great. Read it if you haven’t.

The full spectacular cosmic crossover by @allredmd.bsky.social! I can see why Super-Team Family keeps choosing snippets from this piece — it's got a lot of classic characters in clean poses. It's the gift that keeps giving!

Here's the article from Wizard 121 where @allredmd.bsky.social mentions the harsh comments about he and Peter Milligan taking over X-Force that were spreading online in 2001 and the overwhelming success of the book once it got into the hands of the reading audience.

That LP has become one of our seasonal favorites. Always gets a lot of airplay. Nice cover art, too.

The Monkees - What Would Santa Do (Official Lyric Video) YouTube video by The Monkees

Rivers Cuomo wrote it.
Micky Dolenz sang it.
@allredmd.bsky.social (and lovely spouse Laura) illustrated it.

All of which makes this track a perfectly ginchy choice for Day 22 of our musical advent calendar.
