Really rad toy store in Iowa City!

If you’re in Minneapolis this weekend be sure to stop by Odd Mart. It’s one of my favorite stores on the entire planet AND currently one of the only two places anywhere selling my books ‘driven by lemons’ and ‘goat and sheep’.

Be sure to buy some gum. Comes with a free t-shirt.

We still have quite a few copies and it's honestly a steal for 35 euro, so why not grab a copy? littledeercomics.ie/products/gin...

Came across an offer for a few things one doesn't often run across in such good condition!

I’ve never been so conflicted on what member of trump’s whole entourage I despise the most. Everyday there is a new infuriating reason to switch it up.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid.

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

Title card for the strip it reads “Project 2025 -or- Hands Off, Little Shitler”. All text is written in graphite, ‘2025’ is painted orange like the vile one’s excrement.

Title Card - 6/5

A busy, colorful drawing of a city block, the street filled with dozens of musicians, popular and lesser known. There’s a gray Gundam robot in the foreground below a sign that reads ‘KCMO Record store Day’, a couple ravens are perched on the sign.

Trump is old and angry and wants revenge on everyone. He knows he’s not long for this world so he is allowing it to crumble and burn. His selfishness and greed are just part of the absolute rage he feels at “life being unfair” to him. That and he’s a Russian asset.

When next I go to the Kansas City Zoo, I feel the need to apologize to the penguins for tariffs given to their possible kinfolk. I never thought I’d live in a world where penguins being singled out by a sitting president was a thing.

This is incredibly rad

Wow!!!!!

As you probably heard, Amazon is coming for Ireland. It’ll come for our small shops, it’ll come for our department stores, and it’ll come for our media, our journalism, and our democracy.

Ok, you’re right.

Oh I know what you’re saying, but even for some artists, adding more media online to interact with could be overwhelming. Don’t get me wrong, I’m speaking from a 50 year old’s angle, and I do believe your idea is the right idea. But it also took a lot to get some people to leave X to come here.

I agree, but I fear the “ease” and mostly effortless access to modern social media in regards to notification/reaction/replies has made it more difficult for anyone to want to go to forums. Most want platforms that serve as both a hub for clients and for colleagues.

A Lifetime of Aging Tech Media only lasts as long as the format it is stored on stays clean, usable, and functional platforms are around to be able to view it on. No...

I attended a talk on marketing by a guy whose clients are CEOs. He had good advice, but I couldn’t really relate. I later ran across an old homeless man who asked if I could help. At first, I said no, but I went back and gave him my last $3. I got 10 minutes of wonderful and powerful conversation.

The west bottoms in KC always has a lot of hidden gems. But I believe someday much of this will be gone. #vintage #westbottoms #kansascity #tandycomputers #artinspiration

Drawing a guideline on a wall the other day for a mural, and made a single quick mm sized dash to mark the middle. Up close, it looked like a little person, on a wire, a ledge, or a fence. Surrounded by a seemingly endless white void. I left them there, and they were covered by paint later.
