Just checking out the ashcan for my bud @zackquaintance.bsky.social’s upcoming Death of Comics Bookcase Vol. 2 kickstarter. Prelaunch page here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...
Was cleaning up the basement and still have some physical copies of the @comicsxf.com Zine for sale. If anyone wants them, hmu.
Somewhere between turning off this week’s BOTA and walking to the front door of my office building, a lightning bolt struck me:
This week’s hottest new comic is old Jack Kirby because the children need to know what he thought about the hippies!
I dribbled Mucinex DM on my shirt and now it looks like the Lego Space planet is bleeding and I think that’s a good metaphor for [waves hands].
Now that it’s Wednesday I can share this panel that made my heart swell with joy from X-Men #30. Just two platonic work spouses absolutely HOUSING oversized sandwiches. This is pure and good comics. Thank you @nethodiaz.bsky.social for this image.
Can he swing, from a web? No he can’t, but he’s got a sick ATV Here comes the Spider-Man #MemorialDay
My fondest Ted Turner memory is watching Will Forte ride in on that stationary buffalo and yell at Conan a bunch. RIP.
My dogs’ vibe is that of Charlie’s and Mac’s moms in the Old Lady House episode of It’s Always Sunny.
“Peter, it’s time I told you about Trouble.” “The Troubles? Like in Northern Ireland?” “No, Peter, TROUBLE.” “Is that a new supervillain? Name seems kinda basic.” “NO PETER. TROUBLE.”
Hot take: John Tesh’s “Roundball Rock” is better than “Mr. Brightside” and every song by Linkin Park.
I do love that Sealab episode where Murphy goes golfing and Hesh turns into a Hulk though.
