India will pay this! And, also, importers will eat the cost! And, also, nobody will pay this because we'll buy American made goods instead!

If a guy goes into an evangelical church and says, β€œGod has sent me to make you a millionaire using my time machine,” they are about a hundred times more likely to believe them than someone says, β€œI don’t know anything about God, but pretty sure that time machine is fake.”

Capitalism always makes its bed with fascism and then is surprised when fascism burns down the store.

To me the craziest thing in the world is blackberry bushes. We cut them down, we put up fences to contain them, and yet they reach out through and over the prison walls in order to hand you delicious fruit.

It's because the HB stuff fell under the toys and games people, not DC editorial.

Yep. But, silver lining, it'll probably go back into print when the rights revert to DC.

Sadly, a DC Universe subscription think is about the only way you can get the Flintstones now.

Cover of Vanishing Point number 3, "Cell Structure". A strange alien head, rectangular patched of white, and the title presented vertically above a small figure in silhouette.

Another monthly plug for VANISHING POINT, a sci-fi anthology comic written by @manruss.bsky.social and illustrated by a host of magical beings. This is the old school of short stories with philosophical undertones (or overtones, as in issue 3). So good, and so thought-provoking.

Bessy rocks! Literally! Which is sort of the problem. So don’t be stone-hearted and give what you can and/or please share.

The power of that cognitive dissonance could fuel a rocket.

A Peanuts cartoon in which someone asks is Spike has a good nose and Charlie Brown replies that he can smell a plate of fudge three miles away.

After the election, I poured all of my dismay and disgust of what this country has become into a comic about Thanksgiving. AHOY's only directive-- write it quickly while the feeling is still raw.

Whenever there's a ban on something as broad or ill-defined as "porn" it's because they want to engage in selective enforcement. It's a cudgel to go after whoever they want for whatever they want.
