We fought a war so we wouldn’t have a ruler who wanted majesty. It’s the people’s house, not a palace or a tacky casino.

Come see me at Monsterpalooza this coming weekend in Pasadena!

Can’t wait!!!!

First Trailer in 7 days…

I looked right at it and wrote the wrong thing anyways. I wish you could edit posts here…. Lol

2024 WTTW Chicago Public TV article on Illinois' biggest Republican political donors: “…Trump’s Top Donors With a combined $10 million donation to the Make America Great Again Super PAC, billionaires Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein are the second-biggest backers of Trump’s reelection bid — though their contribution has been dwarfed by the $75 million kicked in by banking heir Timothy Mellon. The Uihleins, Lake Forest residents and owners of the shipping products company Uline, are longtime conservative political donors. Uline, which was once headquartered in Illinois, moved in 2010 to Wisconsin — also home to Schlitz Brewing, to which Richard Uihlein is an heir. The Uihleins have long been active in Illinois politics. They supported former Gov. Bruce Rauner in his successful 2014 election bid. In 2018, they backed his unsuccessful challenger in the Republican gubernatorial primary, then-state Rep. Jeanne Ives. They’ve also supported U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Springfield), who drew widespread condemnation for approvingly quoting Adolf Hitler in a 2021 speech; failed Illinois gubernatorial and congressional candidate Darren Bailey; and U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Peoria).”

Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.

Thanks! You should be getting a notice in the next couple days indicating your book is on its way! 😁

Thank you!

Thanks!

Also - there are other EVs out there, so it’s not a zero-sum game.

A look inside my new book: “Gateway: The Book of Wizards - REDUX”

Truman declared an emergency when he felt thwarted. Trump should know: It didn’t end well. Truman seized the country's steel mills during the Korean War — and lost a Supreme Court challenge. Almost seven decades later, Trump has threatened to declare an emergency to build his border wall.

This is an article from 2019, but I think the importance of Youngstown v. Sawyer is even more relevant now, and I wonder if our courts will exercise the same courage they did against Truman back then: www.washingtonpost.com/history/2019...

My Dante’s Inferno piece won the Gold Award in the Ink/Pencil Category for this year’s “Infected By Art” juried fantasy and sci-fi art competition! Thank you to all the judges and to IBA for this recognition!
