"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."
- J.R.R. Tolkien, Fellowship of The Ring

This week, Alex and Brad talk about (surprise) comic books! Specifically, #IceCreamMan by W. Maxwell Prince, @martinmorazzo.bsky.social and @chrisohalloran.bsky.social, the depressing horror genre, and how we manage to stay sane (and happy!) through it all.

LOOK AT MY SON

Hey #writers - I'm going to a writing conference in June and planning to try to talk up some literary agents. What are some tips I should take to this event?

Wow I hate that for you! I feel like vehicles warranties are so fickle. My dad finally got rid of a truck that had a lifetime warranty on it but the dealer wouldn't fix the issue because parts were rusted and the warranty didn't cover the anti rust coating they put on it...

Oh jeez! I'm sorry to hear that! Do they even know what's going on with it?

In honor of the li’l spider that hitched a ride with me to work this morning 😒🕷️
Here’s a little SPIDER-MAN

We are merely pieces of furniture for these dogs

For Marvel's 1983 "Assistant Editors Month" every title was messed with in various ways. Kind of a mixed bag.

But what to do w/ a reprint book? In this case, they added a new page updating the characters' "look," which meant everyone was skinhead/punk.

Except Peter. Still in his 1960's suit lol.

6 years ago today this babe was my first plus one to attend JV's Plus One party. 😍

🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨
Alex and Brad discuss some of their favorite and least favorite horror movies/shows based on books and short stories. But there's a catch: we're not allowed to talk about Stephen King. Follow us down this literary rabbit hole at the link in bio or wherever you listen to podcasts!

There are a handful of publications accepting submissions over the next couple months that I have my eyes on so I just fired off a few pages on this typewriter my wife got me for Christmas a few years ago. Hoping to have a first draft by the end of the week.

Everything is on fire, enjoy this picture of Daisy snoozing on my lap

This is bananas

Happy Twin Peaks Day to all who celebrate!

Truly a deranged, dangerous take. "We have an ocean separating us, let's let Russia run wild in Europe... Never mind how close Siberia and Alaska are" (as if the proximity between the two nations even matters)

Only an idiot would think we should eliminate:

- Emergency response in natural disasters
- Education and healthcare for disabled children
- Clean air and water programs
- Gang crime investigations
- Monitoring of nursing home abuse
- Nuclear reactor regulation
- Cancer research
