A screenshot from Twin Peaks. An FBI agent driving in a car is saying "Diane, 11:30am, February 24th. I'm entering the town of Twin Peaks" into a dictaphone.

The material is great, but I find the Omnibus format a pain to actually read. They're heavy, the glossy paper reflects the light, and I don't think bindings will hold up over time. I would love to see Epic style collections, or even a newsprint collection.

Roderick is one of our Ravens, a friend of the Rooks and an all round diamond geezer; he has made a thing, check it out! He showed it off to us last time he was up in the 'Burgh and it looks corking.

I have the slip case as well. It's one of my treasured pieces.

Here is hoping that they're stapled and not square bound, but I am not holding my breath. Also, print them on Baxter paper. Again, not holding my breath.

Rich Eisen has a message for white people losing their minds over Bad Bunny's halftime show. And it's actually quite profound.

Culture is not about dominance, or exclusion - that's a high school clique.

Culture is about JOY.

And you can't Culture War your way into respect. It must be mutual.

Many folks forget or may not know that Sal inked Barry Smith on many of those early Conan stories, and the team-up was a superb one.

I wish they would return to the Baxter paper used in those books. I loved them! But the glue bindings in that generation of books was also very sketchy.

a meme β€” the top says β€œMy dog just got a haircut and now he looks like he gave up drinking and got his life together” and underneath are 2 photos of a dog (a schnauzer i think?). on the left, the β€œbefore,” he’s scruffy and in need of a haircut and a bath. and on the right, the β€œafter,” he’s clean and clipped and wearing a jaunty red bow tie and looking very dapper indeed.

i don’t know if it’s the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this

Important info from @cato.org about how immigrants contribute to our country:

"The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023."

Facts matter.

Awesome! Aparo was to DC what Sal Buscema was to Marvel. A reliable, professional, workhorse artist who could tell a story with the best of them.

He wasn't even the regular penciler on AF at the time (though I wish he had been), but he just parachuted in for an issue and absolutely kicked ass. I have seen a lot of great Sal pages the last few days, but this one is inspired. Thanks!

From @brianstelter.bsky.social about the shrinking of the Washington Post.

I know all the reasons we can't have it. I will say it anyway. Pressure campaign on Bezos to create an endowment with his wealth, sell the Post to a nonprofit board, and step away completely. Do one great thing and leave.

The Giffen / DeCarlo art in this one is intense, and the Baxter paper it was printed on is superlative.

Her works was awesome. So glad you highlighted her SW work. People don't realize what a big influence WEG's books had on the expanded universe.
