Hey @jamesgunn.bsky.social quick question! Is the Sphere News reporter who interviews Lex Luther meant to be a version of G. Gordon Godfrey? I love Fourth World and wouldn’t put it past the New God to insert himself like that

Mommy and Daddy. Respectfully.

The one time I tried to sell them my books they offered my three dollars for 20+ Star Wars books and then the guy was like “yeah just sell them on eBay” and he was right

“Maybe this was why Naboo encouraged its children to go into public service at such young ages: it ensured they were awake.” - E.K Johnston’s Queen’s Shadow

Starting trade wars to make it easier to take over the government was literally the plot to the Star Wars prequels.

I hope Eric “Bitty” Bittle and his Canadian husband Jack Zimmerman enjoy the international leg of the Beyoncé Cowboy Carter tour

Blaming Beyoncé for announcing her tour but not harassing your representatives about why they’re bending over in Washington is a choice.

basically, dude goes to his buddies and is like "i saw her again! you didn't believe me last time but I did see her THIS time!" who did he see? well! turn the page to find out!!

I'll tell you who he saw: a MERMAID!! and we see her too, in flashback! she promises him she'll be back tomorrow morning. I don't trust this mermaid but the dude loves her and definitely does

so dude's buddies are like, welp, he's definitely crazy, let's wall him up in a cave for his own good. but dude knows the clock is ticking! so bam! he busts out of the cave just as the morning sun is rising!!

and the next day the dude's buddies find his tracks beginning at the cave and ending at the lake shore - he's gone! they conclude he must've frowned because mermaids aren't real and EVERY CENTAUR KNOWS THAT, TWIST IN THE LAST PANEL!!! THEY WERE CENTAURS THE WHOLE TIME AND EVERY PANEL WAS FRAMED TO HIDE THAT UNTIL NOW!! STRAIGHT UP HORSEFOLK ALL ALONG
