IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS
Since some have asked, yes there is a (folded) poster of my cover inside the new @arrowvideo.bsky.social 4K UHD ltd edt boxset of @thehorrormaster.bsky.social classic! I did a mock-up tho show roughly the size (~16x20"). I also illustrated the cover of the booklet included.

I always thought it spoke of one of the better things we are, like a random person, deciding to take care of a kitten, because they can.
I much preferred the Is-This-Cake? era to the Is-This-A.I.? era.

Many graphic novels, hardcovers, & #1 issues at range of prices which is important. Marvel has too much unavailable or in expensive formats. No Byrne or Simonson FF in softcover in 2025 & a Hickman volume unavailable
30.07.2025 02:08 β π 45 π 8 π¬ 7 π 0The high five is a hand gesture whereby two people simultaneously raise one hand and slap the flat of their palm against the other.[2] The gesture is often preceded verbally by a phrase like "Give me five", "High five", or "Up top". Its meaning varies with the context of use but can include as a greeting, congratulations, or celebration. There are many origin stories of the high five,[3] but the first and two most documented candidates are Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke of the Los Angeles Dodgers professional baseball team on October 2, 1977, and Wiley Brown and Derek Smith of the Louisville Cardinals men's college basketball team during the 1978β1979 season.[4][5]
saw the new FANTASTIC FOUR movie and was PULLED OUT OF THE MOVIE by the ubiquitous use in the sixties of characters HIGH-FIVING EACH OTHER
the high-five was invented in 1977 by gay baseball player Glenn Burke (and became a gay shibboleth til the straights stole it) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_five
This is the greatest piece of wrestling memorabilia of all time
