Well, I've had to stand her down a couple of times; less chill, then. Trying to walk that line between making a hard/working mama feel comfortable out with her littles and making sure she knows that the space ain't hers. I suspect it's mighty tough to be a bear.

Two panels from Kyle starks and Erica Hendersons ASSASSIN NATION:
Dave: After this is done, we should go catch a Cubs game sometime. You like the cubs?
Fuck Tarkington: Cubs game? Like a bear fight? I used to fight bears as a kid!
Smoke: a kid?

I know this ain't the point of the post but this is the same bit (with different intent) as a Kyle Starks gag I was reminded of yesterday

(When it isn't too hot to walk, which it has been for the last month) I usually see (and sometimes sketch) critter friends out in the woods, but I don't have bears at my place; I'm visiting my sister today, who's on the very top of the mountain. It's a real treat - living the dream, indeed!

They can be, but are mostly pretty skittish. You don't want to get between a mom and her cubs, or feed them. But I'd feel safer sharing space with a black bear than I would a cougar by a country mile.

The Danville Riot and Virginia's Experiment in Biracial Democracy Earlier this week, the city of Danville, Virginia dedicated a historical marker about a race riot that took place on November 3, 1883. Given the pervasiveness of racial violence throughout this period...

A new historical marker in Danville, Virginia offers an important reminder that Reconstruction did not end in 1877 and Jim Crow was not inevitable. πŸ—ƒοΈ kevinmlevin.substack.com/p/the-danvil...

On the drive home just now I was thinking about how Homer's epics were oral histories written as songs that were meant to be memorized and performed for an audience, and I realized that the Iliad and Odyssey were both very long versions of Barrett's Privateers

I’m coming up with #NovelDishes based on books!

Let’s do one for my fellow Matt’s artfully cool book about a pirate with an actual cat for a beard!

GROG AND GOLD

A rum butter basted tuna filet, grilled, finished with fresh lemon and lime and ginger pineapple salsa on top, on a bed of saffron rice

Penciling 1840’s Los Angeles. Those three little soldiers up top are my favorite thing I’ve drawn all week.

I'm not a big toy guy, but boy howdy would I love a set of UCSC '69 Shakespeare's Julius Caesar action figures

Loose layers of bright colors with a cool pink and white embroidered cassock. Like a high contrast painting stepped off the page and into real life!

Went to the Jack Kirby exhibit at the Skirball yesterday and I am still flipping out at these costumes Mr. Kirby designed for a UCSC Shakespeare production in the seventies. Getting to see it in person. We should all dress like this.
