Pipeline Comics writer, programmer, and all around swell guy.
I see people still conflate following an account with agreeing with everything that account says.
But, hey, it’s social media and people love being mad at something. (And Bluesky is no better than X at that….)
Asterix: House Hunters Edition
Yes, you read that right. I could have gone further with this, but maybe sometime in the future. I’ve already made the logo. 😎

Images shows the difference between the French character Asterix and the keyboard character star shaped asterisk.
Quick reminder.

Black cavapoo Dog looking straight at the camera, scared eyes. He’s afraid of fireworks.
How my puppy feels when there are fireworks in the air.

I missed it by a couple days, but June 8th was the 28th anniversary of the first edition of Pipeline Commentary and Review. It may not be weekly like it was for its first 25 years or so, but it continues to grind on….

I ran across my first YouTube channel in another language where YouTube automatically translated the voices into English. It’s still rough, but extremely useful.

The one in which I link Asterix to David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane’s Spider-Man.

Asterix began life serialized in the weekly Pilote Journal in France. Let me show you what that looked like in the early 1960s and how collections were made back then.

Page by Page By Toutatis is up to Page 5 of Asterix and the Big Fight today. It contains the best dad joke of the book. I love this page.

Watercolor painters always impress me. I have no idea how this guy sees the painting until it’s almost finished. The whole thing looks like an utter mess before it all comes together.

Don’t worry, on the show this week you still did a Gouda job.
It is established in « Asterix the Gaul » that lobster is one of the ingredients in the magic potion. Thank goodness Asterix’s village is so close to the ocean!
Strawberries are not a part of the Magic Potion recipe, but they are a plot point in the same album. I shall spoil you no further.
With the new Asterix series starting on @netflix.com next week, I’m here to show you how you can read “Asterix and the Big Fight” here in America. It can be a bit tricky, so I’ll lay it all out for you:

24.04.2025 16:18 — 👍 20 🔁 8 💬 0 📌 0Once again, lots of people are proving they don’t actually listen to Rob Liefeld’s podcast while attacking it while missing the point. I seriously saw someone laugh at the thought that Liefeld would produce new Youngblood material — a week after he published new Youngblood material.

Can’t make this stuff up.
I feel like I have passed a Bluesky rite of passage — I’ve been blocked by someone! I’m dangerous!

Gary Groth wrote an amazing essay “celebrating” Superman’s 50th anniversary and I just had to read the whole thing out loud.
Spoiler: “platitudinous banalities”
