I know that America was formed by a bunch of religious conservatives, because I'm researching these old paperback novels and half of them are, "He wanted to hold her hand after only being married for three weeks! Read their story in...SATAN'S PERVERTS!"

Having fun looking at original art online this morning. An Alberto Breccia page from Perramus. Jean Giraud page from Blueberry. An illustration by Gastone Bellincampi, and a Hiroshi Kaizuka page from the wonderfully titled Hot Ball Hymn.

Posted a blog-gallery on New Fighters, the Italian comic that seemed to want to emulate American comics, in format, characters, setting (Boston) and basically be an X-Men comic except with nudity and sex. The publishing experiment super Did Not Work. www.paultobin.net/blog-2-1/new...

This is a pretty Ding Dang Nifty reward for our Angry Birds Kickstarter, which is itself Flippin' Cool! I'm working on Angry Birds right now, and making myself laugh. It's a joy to be joyful.

What a terrific ending to the Dark Pyramid 5-issue series! Good twistβ€”if we can’t beat you, let’s join up!

@paultobin.bsky.social, please tell me that there will be a follow-up series. It would be a shame to waste that set up at the β€œconclusion.”

I keep running across cool old sci-fi paperbacks in my current line of research. Cover art on that first one is...maybe Bill Edwards? Wally Wood on the second one.
