THURSDAY
Comadres y Comics Podcast: A Decade of Comics and Community. 11 am - noon @ Neil Morgan Auditorium, San Diego Central Library. Kristen Parraz (Santa Monica Comics Co., co-host), Sara Bazan (co-host), and Jennifer Lopez (co-host) discuss the impact of their podcast, the growth of Latinx voices in comics, and how community-driven media has shaped industry conversation and opportunity. Henry Barajas (Death to Pachuco) and Omar Morales (Major Thomas) join the conversation.

Fight the Future! Resistance in Comics 7 - 8:00 p.m. @ Room 9
Comics have always been political, and in the modern age, those stories are needed more than ever. How can comics inspire readers to take the future into their own hands?

Since he didn't have the courage to keep his post up and blocked me, here's the exchange. If you have something say, just say it. Don't get embarrassed and cry with your cool friends when someone responds.

Your ol' pal Les McClaine @lesmcclaine.com • 4h
I don't like to be so critical but the art in Gil Thorp is appalling.
Unpublishable in a sane

I’m lucky I got to hear Miles stories from KIND OF BLUE drummer: Jimmy Cobb. His wife (who dated and dealer for Miles) regaled me with her personal relationship to Miles while we sat on her bed and smoked jazz cigarettes. Happy 100th Birthday to Miles Davis. He made music cool. Period.

This was four months ago.

A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!
