It took me a while to appreciate him because it wasn't, to me then, a clean look. But then I appreciated the body movement and the energy. It is distinctive.

I remember when websites would have downloads of episodes. I miss days like that.

Not only were the conversations fun, but he had the best bumper music in radio.

Gil Kane's art remains fantastic, but this looks like our blind hero completely whiffed on a left-hand haymaker.

Mulaney's physical evolution into Jason Bateman is a subject Art Bell could have spent an entire evening on.

This song is playing between the end of the mixed biathlon relay and the medal ceremony. It's in my brain forever now. #Olympics

We described it to our son as looking like being inside hyperspace.

It replaced the previous announcement of playing the entirety of "Atomic Dog" by George Clinton.

My favorite LCD Soundsystem song

This guy has been accusing Biden staffers of using an autopen to affix his name and then blames a staffer for that video post on his account.

Stagger in the place where you drink, now face the floor.

"Day drinking" to the tune of REM'S "Daysleeper."

It's clear that the Truman Oval Office philosophy of "the buck stops here" means something completely different to the current office holder.

I try to think of other sitcoms that are 100% domestic and workplace at the same time. It is so singular. The film stock. The shooting location. The constant struggle against mortality and bureaucracy. The desperate efforts to lose themselves off-hours. The format-breaking episodes. It's a COMEDY.

When I visited my wife's family in Boston years back, I learned that golf courses become cross-country parks in the winter. It was the first time I had tried it. We were out there for hours. I had never exerted myself like that before. We went to a restaurant, and I devoured half the menu.

After drawing tons and tons of comic pages these past months, I switched to action pin-ups. Going back to sequential pages, I feel a greater freedom of body positioning and expression in conversation scenes. It really is important to trade up your drawing genres regularly.

The Olympic speed skating audience is singing Volare during the broadcast commercial break. It's lovely.

The character vs how you drew the character

Did Johnson prove he is directable? I think he always was. I watched that dude work live audiences twice a week. His has natural charm and undeniable energy. He had the basis for a wide range of productions. Hopefully this encourages him and others to put him in quieter, more complex material.

I don't know what The Smashing Machine wants to tell us despite a lot of exposition dialogue. The lead doesn't evolve. We learn nothing about how he chose fighting or what makes him tick. The fighting isn't a catalyst or metaphor. Johnson does fine; he isn't asked to do much. Blunt kills, of course.

Stitch Fix sent The Countess a wide lapel shirt that made her look like a member of ABBA, and I rattled off their song titles at such a rate that I think she wants me to double my Hush Yo Nerd medication.

If the State Farm "Halfway There Insurance" ads don't use that Bon Jovi song, just shut down advertising for awhile.

An eternal jam!

THEY'RE DOING THE SONG.

This week's ending of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is CRUELTY, man. Gimme ten more minutes, dang it.

A March 2025 Amazon preorder increased from $82 to $198. I managed to find it cheaper and in stock last night elsewhere and ordered it closer to the original price.

Years back we joked that his handlers could make a fake Oval Office for him to sign lorem ipsum laws and talk to people hired to be the press and foreign leaders, and he would no longer be a menace to the world.
It's fucking time.
It's been fucking time.

I knew Chappell Roan's dress looked familiar.

The ending messed me up for always.

Andrade as this century's Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin is what we all need. Give him the ZZ Top entrance music.
