Flash Gordon headshot using Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens. Working on the Sally Forth comic strip as my day job, I have to re-remember how to draw in this style.

Me from the 1980s as a Joe Kubert School student.

Fernand Ruiz's Bday is today! 🎉🎉🎉
An instructor at the Kubert School, he was kind enough to give me a tour this past March before it moved to its present location in Madison, NJ. I'm class of 1989 - A fun trip down memory lane!

Painting of St. James hanging up in St. Mary's Cathedral in Limerick. My namesake apparently liked to draw as well. 😁

President bone spurs' many false claims during his rambling speech to top U.S. military officials. www.cnn.com/2025/09/30/p...

Trump revealed that he wants to use American cities as training grounds for the armed forces, and Hegseth declared he wants to end “woke” culture. That hundreds of top U.S. military officials were abruptly summoned from around the world for this crap... I'm at a loss for words.

Love this quote. A nice reality check from someone who's been in the biz even longer than me. It's in reference to getting the work done whether you're in the mood to do it or not.

Remember that What If story where Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy fell asleep on top of that bridge, and then Gwen's leg fell asleep, and when she woke up it was tingling like crazy, and then Spider-Man just kept sleeping? That was AWESOME!

Reanimating the dead with AI just freakin' creeps me out.

With comics always on the brain, stopped into a Books A Million store which recently opened up nearby - here's a quick review!

James Harder James Harder (1931-2009) was a New York character actor, most often in commercials, who appeared on Sesame Street as bureaucrat Mr. McNulty in Episode 1576 (1981) and the following season in flashback...

Big Fig was played by New York character actor, James Harder (1931-2009).

No more CGI and more of this. I'm dead serious - this commercial from 1975 is so much more entertaining. 😁

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Tylenol was introduced in 1955, and then my brother Tom was BORN LEFT-HANDED IN 1963! Granted, my Dad was also left-handed hand, but that's irrelevant. SCIENCE!
Thanks to my niece Emily for bringing this to light in regards to the recent orange dumpster fire announcement about autism.

Quick heads up that Fallcon is coming up soon.

Sounds about right...

Also met other students at the Kubert school - who had the best taste in comics - who turned me on to so much great stuff both old and new. Invaluable! @joikmeister.bsky.social

It's Joe Kubert's birthday!
9/18/1926-9/12/2012
Attending the Joe Kubert School back in the 80s was a pivotal time for me. From the Twin Cities to Dover, New Jersey. Reminiscent of F. Scott Fitzgerald leaving the Twin Cities and heading out east. 😁
