Having this has a goal really helps me minimize my social media use.

Two very different approaches to very similar endings. I was not satisfied by H.O.D. and left Bugonia very satisfied.

Also Bugonia is a better companion for Eddington than OBAA.

Sorry: I forgot the alt text:

A green canister of some concoction called “Whats App” and at the bottom of the can the description “fragrance deodorant body spray”

Just noticed a third. I saw Singles in theaters at the time.

Nice try. Almost the opposite.

Gift from a friend, brought back from Nigeria. That’s right, it’s WhatsApp fragrance spray!

I think I only saw two of these in theatres at the time and no one could ever guess which two.

Brown sugar cookies, cut into rough skull shapes for Spooky Season!

There! What do we think?

Browned butter brown sugar cookies. And also memento mori.

Uploaded both issues of A Gleaming (2018 & 2020) onto my itch for one time purchase. Still think fondly of these books and would love to one day finish this weird story.

Congrats to the greatest piece of fiction the world ever created: That anything is “worth” $5 trillion of anything.

Regardless of whether she was saying anything offensive, she is describing herself as a teacher without the ability to lead a class.

Supreme Clientele is one of my all-time favorites.

The third line of lyrics is:
“Scotty Wotty copper tipped me, big microphone hippie
// Hit Poughkeepsie, crispy chicken, verbs, throw up a stone, Richie”

I don’t know what the fuck he means but I love it. GFK forever!

More writing about comics coming soon, including a book I got on loan from the library…

support whomever you’d like, but what is frustratingly dishonest about this take is that actual issue — the thing critics have identified as the problem — isn’t the decision of the 21-year old to get the tattoo, but of the judgment of the 40-year old who still has it.

It's the final week of this year's digital comics fair, so consider this your reminder to go look at our brilliant lineup of over 140+ original, new comics before they're gone!

And can blame all the people who do actual work for the cause of lost money. And yet investors will be ok.

And yet the man running the company will make plenty of money. Almost like that’s the point. If they lose money they can justify laying off whoever they want.

This is not the 5 Star movie many say it is, but I loved it so much I found 4000 words to say about it.

By the way, I hate SEO, but I do want people to read these things, so subscriptions mean a lot to me. Substack is obviously going to substack their way around things, but I will never spam your email.

somebody once told me
the plums were gonna roil me
I ate the ones you had
in the icebox
they were looking like some plums
that would make you say yum
you were probably saving them
for your breakfast
well they were cold and delicious
and sweet not malicious
etc etc etc

The Knives by Brubaker and Phillips A New Novel

I’m a big fan of the Ed Brubaker/Sean Phillips team (now ably supported by Jacob Phillips). Their latest is one of their best yet, so I had to write down some thoughts.
