Being a punk rocker in the late 1980s was cool because it had a real abandoned spaces/Gnostic gospels vibe, but it also meant being condescended to by a bunch of dudes who looked like John Gries in REAL GENIUS (i.e. Dollar Store Alan Moore).

I don't recall a single year where we had haze like this from wild fires, until about five years ago, and now it's every Summer. Is that your experience?

I know I've seen it more than once, and yet...I couldn't tell you a thing about it

A comics landmark. 40 years ago, Love and Rockets #13 was released. It includes Daniel Clowes’s first comic to be published by Fantagraphics. I couldn’t verify the precise on-sale date, but it has an August 1985 first printing date, another poster seems confident it was out this week 40 yrs ago.

Also is Fallon laying in a coffin in that photo?

A comedy eunuch (actually two here) who is an unfunny company man with no integrity until the bitter drunken end

Yeah. Not nearly as often because I hate everyone and am not going to open mics and was spoiled pre COVID. But yup

Come by. No sealing glasses.

(Mini Super Soaker for scale)

Almost 11 years ago exactly at @laughboston with @tommyjohnagin and @coreyrods. A dude came up from the audience and stole Tommy's glasses and Johnagin decked him.

Anyway I'm back at Laugh tomorrow at 6pm doing a little guest spot on the great @matt_kirshen 's show.

August 2, 1985 for upcoming Real Genius sneak preview.

Sneak preview tomorrow at an August 3, 1985 movie theater near you.

I feel that way about me, so I have sideburns as a distraction. I don't think that would work for you.

Hulk Hogan's legacy includes a connection to toxic modern media trends The only time I met the legendary wrestler in person, I had no idea he would become connected to so many damaging media trends.

I don't think you DO look smooshy and weird though?

this is so good

For no real reason just remembered I had Mike Mignola on TVGC back in 2020.

I REALLY had to stare at these to realize that guitar headstock wasn't a smart phone

the trailer seemed like a joke

Men on the left are silent about getting laid because it's not a problem for us, sorry if this offends 💅

hey maybe you can't find women who want to have sex with you because you're an unfuckable dork

Ordered ten buckets of fried chicken so I can start training for this Presidential Fitness Test. Hoping I can get my veins good and clogged. The swelling will be the most difficult part

I'm always shocked this weird Lovecraft inspired cosmic horror Spider-Man one shot Bernie Wrightson did in the mid 80s doesn't come up more often.

Reading a book about the corrupt Providence RI government over the years and addition to guys named "Beaubeau" and "Buckles" they just described a guy as the "merry prankster of Providence auto body shop owners"

The damage done by this administration will take decades to recover from, if its even possible.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

They’re so jealous you can write.
They’re so jealous you can draw.
They’re so jealous you can make music.

They have all the money in the world, but they’ve been driven insane because they don’t have your joy.

In this Amazing Spider-Man Panel from a crossover with the terrible Secret Wars II (hence the Beyonder) there's a clock chiming, hence the "Bong!", but it just looks like these three guys are yelling the word Bong to me.
