One of Rob's favorite books! Go get them!

I started seriously thinking about a Batman/Green Arrow/Question book a decade ago after drawing this commission. First issue of my Black Label book ARCADIA featuring the three of them is out in November.

Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics #27 (1944). The cover shows Porky Pig on a stage, dressed as baby new year, and celebrating. He is wearing a diaper that says “1944” and we can see Bugs Bunny sneaking up behind him to pull the pin out that will cause his diaper to fall off.

And Rob will be making a Favorites list, too! As with prior years, there will be a short list and the favorites!

James' Favorite Comics of 2024 Comic Reviews and commentary

It's time! Here's @sinisterjhk.bsky.social favorite comics of 2024: www.panelpatter.com/2024/12/jame...

So… last year I found out my mom was half-Japanese. And my mom represents about 50% of this issue since she passed. I thought it might be a good idea to collaborate with my friend-in-comix @marinaomi.bsky.social, who is half-Japanese, on the cover of this issue.

Happy #CthulhuCthursday everyone 🙃

Hi to lots of new people. Just a note, this account is for the site so with rare exceptions it only follows back people directly involved in comics! But we are happy you find us interesting and hopefully useful in your day! Thanks!

my homie @theredmoth.com and i like to look at character designs over the years and our recent dissertation into the many looks of the Fantastic Four had me itching to draw them myself
