Yeah—it’s weirdly ambiguous whether the hand is offering it to her or taking it from her

He’s offering her the right end of an unfiltered cigarette.

A page from David Shannon’s picture book, Roy Digs Dirt. The illustration shows Roy the dog barking at a smiling opossum. There are two red star-shaped flowers in the dirt next to Roy

My 4-year-old pointed to the two red flowers and said, “Those look like little demogorgons.”

And I was like,”What???”

(And then I remembered there’s a Stranger Things pinball machine at the neighborhood pizza place.)

Huh…just learned that Al Hartley is the son of Congressman Fred A. Hartley—the Hartley in Taft-Hartley.

Just in time for Thanksgiving

Stairlift to heaven, RIP

Unless you know Austin public access TV in the ‘90s, you might be surprised at how much cultural space Bill Hicks shared with Alex Jones.

And I was scheduled to get a booster this week! So far, no one else in the household has come down with it

Oh…I currently have COVID!

Not fun. Would not recommend.

Random memory inspired by recent news:

My parents took me to see the magician Harry Blackstone Jr when he performed in Corpus. His act was full of topical jokes, including one where he showed an empty box or cage and said, “It’s as empty as Fawn Hall’s filing cabinet.”

I saw Matt Bonner at Tame Impala’s ACL set in 2015 lol

I once bought Murgunstrumm and Others (with the signed insert) as a gift—and then kept it for myself because I’m a terrible friend.

I grew up Catholic in south Texas—and there was always someone hiding Chick tracts all over the Catholic bookstore in the mall.

The Book of Lists, The Book of Lists II, and The People’s Almanac were so important to me as a kid. I learned so much about random 20th century culture

Screenshot of the Bluesky treading banner that shows “MechaHitler” and (partially) “Supreme Court”

I leave to take my four-year-old to a swimming lesson at a lovely municipal pool—and then come back to this fresh hell

Oh. I had no idea there was a Criterion release. Thank you for this very important info

Depending on the wall decor, I used to act this strip out at parties for my friends who liked (or were at least aware of) Red Meat

An excerpt from my kid’s preschool Father’s Day card: “I love Dad more than My grocery store toy”

Aww…I love you too, son.

A one-panel Heathcliff comic showing Heathcliff on a therapist’s couch surrounded by nine whole bone-in hams and wearing his helmet with the word “HAM” on it. (The helmet is a running gag in the strip.) The therapist, with a notepad in her lap, is saying, “Let’s talk about ham.”

Put your ham helmets on

The Tomb of Ligeia also has some of my favorite Corman-Poe poster art.

I remember placing a preorder at my LCS for the Trump collection. This was back in 2016—and they were somewhat confused/concerned about me.

I guess I’ll never achieve my childhood dream of being the first American pope now

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

A screenshot from a LinkedIn email: “Top job picks for you Special Agent: Education/Teaching Expertise Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) - Austin, Texas Metropolitan Area (On-site) $99K-128K / year” The screenshot also includes an image of the FBI seal.

Not today, Satan.

(This listing seems ominous AF)

A photograph of a metal pole at a crosswalk that has two bumper stickers on it: “Abolish ICE” and “GOD BLESS WILLIE NELSON.”

Just sharing this photo I took back in 2018 of a crosswalk in my neighborhood.

A film that takes place where you’re from

My understanding—based on posts in the EC Fan-Addict group on Facebook—is that the August date is the correct release date. Also, the green cover on the left is the finalized cover. (That’s also the info on the Fantagrapics site.)

I (ahem, EYE!) had a Polyphemus joke—but only one.

The actor Sam McMurray also plays the character Glen in Raising Arizona. This photo shows one of his grimy kids (Buford) writing “FART” on wood paneling.

That fucking guy and his kids…
