It sounded like a herd of buffalo just ran across our roof but that's probably cool.

Modern conveniences are so nice. In the old days you had to argue with scrotum-heads on the internet, but now you can just reply with this.

Children's book publishers keep turning down my pitch for "The Billionaire Who Twice Became President of the United States and Never Amounted to Anything."

Oh I hadn't caught that. Yeah... I wonder if Wally just failed in the research end or what.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged β€œdrug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civiliansβ€”Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

I love these old covers where Batman and Superman combine their great powers to be dicks to Robin.

I find Keeping's art genuinely unsettling. Like, here's three illustrations from Beowulf that really changes the story's whole mood for me.

I didn't know any of those had come out. I think maybe my wallet was keeping it secret.

Right? Some of his pages are really MacGyver-ed together, but... damn, it all works so well.

I consider myself a Wally Wood fan (with several originals of my own) but... I didn't know about this. Apparently in the early 60's Wally pitched a Sunday newspaper strip showcasing famous people, and made up some presentation pieces, like this one.

Shower's good for me, too. I've learned to leave files open so I can MARCH out of the shower and jot down ideas.

Took me about a half hour this morning, but I finally DID remember the plot point that I thought up last night in bed, and did one of those "that's so good and so obvious that I'll remember it for sure there's no reason to write it down" idiot decisions.

Honestly don't know how even his most fervent cult followers can look at that without going, "Yo dawg. You need to chill."

A certain guy doing over 160 rage-posts on Truth Social last night is 100% a sure sign of being a stable genius.

The other day I posted a blog-gallery of the awesome FRANCE BOOKS (www.paultobin.net/blog-2-1/fra...) and now I've found the magazine that did the photo-spread of that AMAZINGLY-wigged woman.
