What’s your sign?

Say what now?

I haven’t seen the movie, and this is pretty funny.

But…maybe comic book artists should increase their page rates, band together, start a union or guild, or fight together in some other way so that this isn’t so far-fetched?

Today is the birthday of artist, writer, and teacher, Joe Kubert (Sept. 18, 1926-Aug. 12, 2012).

There’s a guy in England, a political figure, who shares a name with my friend who killed himself in 1998. I don’t follow the account here, but for some reason, most of his posts get recommended to me. It stops me every time.

(Twitter used to recommend that I follow my deceased parents’ accounts.)

The first Batman comic I bought from a proper comics shop.

My first Batman, from a garage sale in the mid-80s.

Forget it, Jake. It’s Carmel-town.

Studio executives get really upset if they’re not thanked by name during an awards show?

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Well, well, well …

Look who made the cover of “John Wayne” magazine. Again.

Better luck next time, Gacy.

That’s a book I’ve re-read a few times, but never on audio. Good narration?

My boys just watched this movie yesterday for the first time.

They loved it.

Hey, my kid loves X-Men, maybe I should get him one of these…

Oh, never mind.

Mark Chiarello with the best Spidey cover I've seen in a while. Love this. The villain's faces.

French sign saying (in French) "Crepes and chocolates", left arrow. "Cruel world", right arrow. Harvested from the webs, no idea of attribution.

Especially in that mid-80s to mid-90s era, it’s one way editors tried to work. Probably because of the success of BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY having evolved from a short story. “Ralph the Duck” and Michael Cunningham’s “White Angel” are the two examples I think of most. They should have stayed stories.

“Ralph the Duck” is great. Better as a story than the novel it was later tucked into, GIRLS.

Bigger than Hellverine?!

X-Men was released 25 years ago today.

Time to wear your leather jacket over your denim jacket over your flannel and celebrate properly, bub.
