stop saying some tv pundit or comedian "destroyed" some public figure unless they actually beat the person in question to death with a lead pipe or some shit

I’ve experienced a lot of unpleasant physical sensations and as of this morning “long hair in my smoothie” just took its place in the rankings right next to that time I was sitting in the passenger seat of my friend’s car and we got T-boned

Skew It on the Bar-B (feat. Raekwon) Outkast, Raekwon · Aquemini · Song · 1998

A summer day and bumping flawless album “Aquemini,” the rare album that deserved its place in the hall of fame thanks to the guest verse by Raekwon on skew it on the Bar-b

I regretfully concede that pencilling digitally is in fact way faster

One of the cool things about the trump habit of (best case) shit talking people in his administration who don’t release information that flatters him or (worst case) firing them on the spot is that this is the exact kind of thing that cost hitler Stalingrad and the war so rhyme repeat whatever

Oh good they fixed it

Hugo Pratt's ability to conjure deep jungle flora and still waters with a few splashes of color are amazing here.

GUYS

Don’t make me gesture to the stringer bell note taking clip again

Crap she beat me to it

Got three emails in a row from Roy Cooper, outgoing governor of North Carolina who is going to lose that senate race by thirty points

To be clear I am just an analog boy in a digital world and unfamiliar with power user technology language so much of my challenge is coming from there

Make no mistake, it is on my end too

We’re all laughing at Trump’s weird accusations of treason because he expresses himself like an addled third grader but I have a strong feeling that his saying this is an indication that his people are working towards the fuhrer as they used to say

Coloring a client job right now and my hat goes off to professional comics colorists, I don’t know how any of you are knocking out multiple pages a day

Not a betting man but I would cautiously put ten dollars on Ghislaine being dead within let’s say a month

He’s also not seeing or saying anything particularly revelatory to anyone who has paid attention to Democratic Party actions on the national level for the last decade plus. His pro-Joe assessment is dead wrong IMO but he’s spot on about how the party has failed to rise to any occasion since oh 2009

Probably worth saying I also disagree pretty strongly with his “Joe coulda pulled It Off” argument but I also really like my dad and would probably be emotionally drawn to defend him under the same circumstances

I don’t want to highroad anyone but I’m not sure how else to word this: a lot of the online reaction to how candid and forthcoming Hunter was kind of suggests unfamiliarity with very intelligent people who also have substance abuse problems

Or maybe people like drubbing the pod save boys, it’s fun

I consider any conversation that isn’t about Walter Simonson to be slanderous of Walter Simonson

This Hunter Biden guy is really growing on me

A couple of thoughts on what we've recently learned about Roy Thomas's habit of having someone else write a comic for a third of his page rate, then crediting himself as co-writer and keeping the rest of the money:

This may be in part an artifact of Marvel's writer-editor contracts. It may be...

Superman’s power level can slide all over the place depending on the story’s needs and applying DBZ “it’s over 9000” logic to his strength and behaving like that needs to be cast in iron kind of ruins the fun

Also generally the weirder the better, his life is bizarre and he’s the consistency

"Men whose triggers pull their fingers. Men who would rather fight than win."

Ah dang they told you about the inclusion of the pink kryptonite huh

Superman was a hoot and that’s maybe all it really needed to be

I think we actually muddy this a good bit in how we teach the basics of it (to the extent that we do at all). The one the average person hears about is Auschwitz; the vast majority of Americans likely haven’t heard of Sobibor or Bełzec. Maybe Treblinka is slightly better known but still

We are really struggling this month with bills and the death of my stepdad has added another layer of stress. Anything helps. Pierogi sends his love. ko-fi.com/lormaggot
