A party that couldn't endorse Mamdani. . . has room for Marjorie Taylor Greene

The party can burn in hell

Finally—back to my drawing board. It's been a long, long time I couldn't even set foot into my studio (our late son Mike did the electrical wiring & work; the hole in my soul the size of Mike was just... to... raw). Relieved I still have some drawing chops left.

I think most artists hit a point where they’re like, well if I can’t be the best artist, I shall be the most ME artist.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION:

comics are important and we should think of them as a part of a balanced literary diet

FF #37, inked by Chic Stone, is a favorite of mine. As I’ve said before, it’s almost this Chris Ware kind of ink line, both soft and mechanical, that, to my eye, creates a sense of animation with Kirby’s pencils.

Trying to pay someone and for whatever reason the first payment method kept getting declined, so we used another one and it worked, but the whole step of the way the dude is taking it really personally and acting like if his preferred method isn’t working it’s because I’m not making the effort…???

when I was a baby (aged 17-23ish), people would claim that a well-written, poorly-drawn comic is better than a poorly-written, well-drawn comic. That always rankled me.

Now that I am an adult (43), I know the reason why this seemed wrong to me: because it *is* wrong.

What’s crazy is the Tarantino story of watching it in the theater and everyone interpreting Travis as a total goofball idiot who the audience lol’d at throughout. Fifty years later, it’s practically a documentary.

"The bond's Name. James Name" Pleased to... what? "Bond Name's the james" Are you alright? "Bames Nond's having a stronk, call a Bondulance"

There’s only one Bond I want to see on screen next.

Hit the gym this morning, then met my mangaka buddy at Books Kinokuniya, where he drew me into his page as a bg character.

Went home, worked on some pencils, then went into the city to meet w/ my writing partner. Then back to Queens to meet with another cartoonist buddy about sharing their studio.

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.

My capsule reviews for K-Pop Demon Hunters, Bugonia, Frankenstein and Predator: Badlands.

It’s weird how much people shit on “Predators,” that movie was at least as good as “Prey” and “Killer of Killers,” IMO.

And really all the sequels make the Predator species look like a bunch of inept goofballs who any spunky protagonist can get the drop on multiple times.

It’s weird to stick to indie stuff for a while and then walk back into a Midtown Comics. Even the non-Big Two stuff is INSANELY polished. I don’t mean that in a snobby way, it’s just a very striking contrast.

Honestly, at this point just spend the whole movie in the Tron world. I don’t care about what corporate tycoons are doing in Canada. Fill out the digital world’s lore. Each movie took place in a different version that still exists? Just do 100% that for the next movie.

Also, I’d like to say that in the original video I am not nearly as red.

Here’s a video I made for how to get your self-published #comics and #manga into local comic book stores!

Got copies of Simon in Space ashcan #2 into two stores in Brooklyn. Went to Forbidden Planet at Union Sq to check on my stuff there, turns out that particular comic of mine sold out weeks ago! This is the same comic that I was getting super positive feedback on during NYCC!
