smaller print, non big two comics reviews (most of the time). Little bit of history, lot of cringe. (if you're coming from the big blue 'F', you'll probably know me as Nathan)

Just be careful where you point that thing. It's all fun and games until someone gets it in the eye.

What's going on with the Infowars auction? You guys still trying to consume that for lulz? (for the love of your gods, I hope so. I was so excited to see Global Tetrahedron flexing)

He was Milo in UHF, and the villain in Disorderlies. I know, real high brow cinema, but I was a kid, and loved those movies.

OK, we’re in desperation times yet again 😩

Finances are tight, after doing so well at getting out of the hole. But things went quiet and I need to pull myself out again

So if you like LGBTQ+ inclusive comics, novels, romances etc, please grab something from my site! bit.ly/3P6TC9E

...(read "free") that is not labor intensive, I'd be forever in your debt. Anyways, here's a slightly fleshed out review of 25 Years of Tomorrow (This Modern World) by Tom Tomorrow.

Well, I've started moving my short reviews to my website. The place is an absolute disaster, as I've used several different platforms to create these reviews, so if shit seems wonky, it's because it is. If anyone can show me an easier, more coherent way to build this stuff that's super cheap...

I tried reading this as the Theme to Shaft at first. Once I hit that third line, all I could hear was Reba.

This has long been my stance. The spandex and long underwear crowd are often many people's first introduction to comics, and it's not their cup of tea.

I try to find out what they're interested in, and then make suggestions accordingly. My one goto every time though is Bone by Jeff Smith.

It's only cringe if it comes from the hΓ©risser region of France. Otherwise, it's just sparkling embarrassment.

The poem is (arguably) neither.

Artwork is solid.

Somebody said we need to stop calling it "Aligator Alcatraz" and start calling it the Dade-Collier Immigrant Detention Camp. Really draw attention to the area, shine a light on that section of Florida.

Regardless. If you revel in the misery of others, you qualify as a total shitbag.

Poster with balloon words stating "oppose Fascism!" using three semi-alternating colors of green, yellow, and red. Text beneath balloon words states "gather at 12th and North at 4:00 (pm). March to Uni Center at 5:00 (pm)" 
In smaller text underneath it States"ring signs, drums, noise makers, your voice, and your humanity!" underneath that to the right is the date 3/27 on top of a red dot.

An image of a cartoon dog lifting its leg on the symbol for the White Supremacist group hosting the speaker is on the bottom half of the poster.

Normally, I try to keep my politics out of bluesky, because I'm just a big wuss, and prefer talking comics.

However, the local (GJ) university is hosting a white supremacist this Thursday. Please get the word out, and show them that Fascism and intolerance is not ok.
