The Washington Post headline reads: "Try a ‘fart walk’ to ease the pressure after that big Thanksgiving meal Whatever you do, resist the urge to lie down. November 24, 2025" Accompanying the article if a black ad white photo of someone walking on what appears to be a cold fall day. The camera is capturing their back as they're walking in a park with leaves on the ground. They are wearing a black coat and black leggings. The Washington Post has added radiating yellow lines from their butt to suggest they're farting. The photo credit says the image is from iStock.

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

A few years back I became briefly obsessed with the fact that DC’s SANDMAN and Marvel’s SLEEPWALKER, two very different comics about characters from the dream realm, were being published concurrently…these pieces were the result.

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

It’s Too Bad She Won’t Live, But Then Again, Who Does, Charlie Brown

Marvel Team-up

Mechanic [sliding out from under Optimus Prime]: I think I see what the issue is. This truck is also a big guy somehow

Yes! Have Purple Costume, Will Travel

Worst Pair of Character Actors to Meet as Police Officers (Vincent D’Onofrio and William Fichtner, Strange Days)

Best Performance by a Yuppie Beard in a Supporting Role (Ron Silver’s beard, Blue Steel)

Best Aliens Reunion (Near Dark)

This just has me thinking about Spider-Man’s villains - while there are bald bad guys, like Vulture and Kingpin, they’re mostly guys with BAD haircuts:

Doc Ock: Bowl cut
Venom: Mullet
Jackal: John Bolton moustache
Green Goblin: ?????

Superman (Christopher Reeve) giving Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) a sassy look.

As far as I'm aware, no superhero has a rogues gallery quite as consistently *bald* as Superman's ferocious flock of follicly-challenged foes. Dozens of chrome-domed criminals have made Superman the ire of their depilated deviousness over the decades, so let's meet SUPERMAN'S BALDEST FOES!

finally, dan aykroyd's toy CEO character from SNL is real

We’ve seen people resettling in Slorenia without Bloodwraith wandering around; my theory is that someone dug a really big hole and tricked him into falling into it.

Called in to replace Kirk Douglas at the last minute on First Blood; comes in halfway through the movie and totally owns it.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

The set design is somehow only the second-most over-the-top thing in this scene, after Steven Berkoff.

Also, I have good news:

If Dana Scully is the same age as Gillian Anderson, she turned 18 in 1986, and thus could not have voted for Reagan even if she wanted to.

Scully and Skinner vote in every election.

The Smoking Man writes in “Lee Harvey Oswald” for every race.

Mulder has never voted because “that’s how they get you.”

London Calling, naturally.

It's me, your friend who was too into comics growing up.

A connection I never made before: Oliver Stone directed and co-wrote The Hand, in which Michael Caine plays the creator of Conan-like barbarian Mandro, and a year later he co-wrote the first Conan the Barbarian movie.

And here I thought the message was to not stick your hand out of the window of a moving car.

One of the world’s foremost experts on author Thomas Hardy. Owns an extensive collection of skiffle albums.

Untold: Crime and Penalties, about a “legitimate businessman,” his son, and their all-goon minor league hockey team. It’s surprisingly heartfelt!

“You’ll never guess where I’ve just been, unless that guess is ‘Walter Koenig’s yard sale’.”

I was married but I’m not married any more. Women don’t like the vehicle.

Venom gets showered in blood on the cover to Venom: Black White and Blood #2.

Belatedly got around to reading VENOM: BLACK WHITE AND BLOOD #2, and @thekarlapacheco.bsky.social and Pere Perez created a wonderful late-‘90s throwback to Larry Hama’s hoo-ha-ing secret agent Venom. It’s a blast.

Counterpoint: evil, sleazy Ken Jennings.

Hand puppets used by Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfuss) and his family in the movie WHAT ABOUT BOB? (1991)

If there is one thing Disney is doing right it’s that they are keeping the WHAT ABOUT BOB? (1991) hand puppets preserved in their archives.

A great weekend to share Jeff Bridges making a perfect joke
