Oh damn they hiring sex pests right out the gate huh

I have a big announcement coming in the SKTCHD newsletter on Sunday and I'm very excited for it to hit. It's something I've been planning for a long time and it's a first for me, which should be fun! So, uh, keep an eye out!

Tatjana Wood has apparently passed away at age 99. Her father was Jewish so during WW2 her parents sent her to the Netherlands, then NY. She studied as a dressmaker, met/married Wallace Wood and began assisting him, then pivoted to becoming one of the best colorists in comics.

Oh, I have. Many times.

In their desperation to find something, anything, that gives it a reason to exist, all they're really doing is pissing us off.

If whatever you're working on could best be described as "content", you need to abort now.

New Solver! :D

Seeing a list of the best TV shows of 2025 and, man, we were spoiled with the cinematography of Severance and Pluribus.

Steeple is fantastic. You need to be reading it. (Also, Dark Horse needs to resume the physical collections!)

HOLY SHIT. I just saw what the streaming version of Sinners looks like and it is TERRIBLE. Jesus Christ, the colour range and shadows are compressed to crap. Get the 4K disc and watch it properly.

It should not be this hard to see a movie you want to see in the cinema.

So Blue Moon basically came out and immediately disappeared. I checked session times weekly and still somehow missed it. God damn it.

Fuck Jason Latour & fuck letting abusers back into our spaces

Believe women, and don't just forget when it's inconvenient & annoying

The question is always: How many human lives is your stupid boy prestige comic worth? Because that's what we're talking about here. How many bodies do you step over?

I wish America anti-trust laws.

Hey, check out @davidharper.bsky.social’s original art collection! youtu.be/P2fV53S9L8Y?... #comics

There is no good outcome, but this is the worst outcome.

Pre-ordered a book three times because I know I'll need at least two copies to give as gifts...

Already seeing people mentioning a bunch that I like. I’ll add @bookclubmembers.bsky.social. They’re just beginning to branch out to interviews. Angshuman’s For the Love of Comics YouTube channel is a wonderful place for comics appreciation, though no interviews there.

don’t give your best ideas to corporations because eventually they will just sell you out to fascist bootlickers

We’ll look back on this day and cry.

Phyre will always be a hilarious name to me. I can’t even think about it and keep a straight face.

I want to go to a Frieren concert...

Damn. For a split second there I thought Necrologue was coming out.

I had a lot of fun discussing it... but there was so much I couldn't say! (This story connects to others that the book club hasn't read yet.)

I was on the @hellboybookclub.bsky.social discussing @mikemignola.bsky.social, @cgolden.bsky.social, @tomsnig.bsky.social, and @bergting.bsky.social's Frankenstein: New World—The Sea of Forever. hellboybookclub.podbean.com/e/episode-19... #Hellboy #comics #Frankenstein

This isn't out till April, but I just read through the proof and it struck me again how much I love it. This one issue is probably the best Hellboy story I'll ever write. A simple little ghost story. I hope you'll give it a read.
