Nostalgia is a poison anyway, so it's probably good that guys like this are in charge of the things I loved as a child so I can let them go.

I'm currently preparing for a purge. I don't want to add to my bins, I want to subtract from them.

Yeah I know a couple of them are cross compatible.

The DND one felt a little more winnable to us (though we did get close to a loss; only four more cards in the monster deck).

Seriously? We have played that game like... Six times and never won.

We did beat a game of the DND version this weekend though.

AMAZING show. I can never decide whether to be sad we didn't get more of it or happy that it didn't get drawn out until it was terrible like a lot of comedies.

For years I felt like I was crazy when I would tell people about this one because *nobody had ever heard of it*.

Oh man. Gyoza and Takoyaki are two of my absolute favorite foods. I'm envious of you in this moment.

Laser Joan and the Rayguns A 24 pg one shot adventure comic about an all-female rock band collecting the three stories that originally ran in DARK HORSE PRESENTS.

We hit 100 backers on Laser Joan so here's what we're gonna do! Better quality paper and finish on the covers. Thicker paper for both int and cover, and a nice satin finish to really class the joint up. Thanks so much for hitting that number and there's still time to back the book if you haven't!

I guess you could assume that the villain of that game (Sword... Guy? I can't remember his name) brought them with him from whatever dimension he came from? I dunno. I'm not one to talk though, I loved that game. Just not enough to remember names in it, haha

That mushroom pizza bread bowl sounds like the greatest thing ever.

Probably my favorite Robin Hood movie by a long shot (ha ha). Great flick.

He's so fun! Take a bow. I want to make a custom figure of him. 😸

I was randomly browsing Discover and saw this delightful character design by @robertoadder8.bsky.social. It gave me such classic toyetic 80s He-Man figure vibes I had to do a quick sketch. Plus he's grey and purple, how can you not love.

Any way to get your discs here in the USA? Tried to order them in your Bandcamp shop but it says they don't ship here. I'm aware that we're kind of a no man's land right now ... â˜šī¸

Just finished "The He-Man Effect: How American Toymakers Sold You Your Childhood", which is a nonfiction comic exploration of the origins of modern toy marketing to children and I *highly* recommend it. It is both fascinating and slightly appalling.

I've read it multiple times, I get what it's doing, I get that it's a well crafted work with powerful themes, I know that it's a wildly influential and important piece of comics history, but I'm never going to like Watchmen. It's just not for me.

That happened to a bunch of friends of mine the last year I did ECCC; they got marooned out on freak island. Sucks that's still going on.

Tell me
Did you get that work there done
Or has the song that you did hum
make you all irritated
And discombobulated
Tell me
Did you post about it here
Only for users to jeer
And did you read this in the way I meant you to
