A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

A reader asked the Ethicist: I'm an HIV-positive gay man who protests regularly. My liberal friend, married to a Trump supporter, shares my fears about the U.S. but avoids protests; she only shares her views online. Her apathy feels hypocritical. Should I keep her in my life? nyti.ms/4oqtfe5

A woman says "hi, I'm here for the Magic: The Gathering tournament." A man at the registration booth says "of course. and ma'am I hope it's not too presumptious of me to say that your transition is going incredible." The woman says 'uh... I'm cis actually." Another man comes up and says "hi... wow ma'am your transition..." The first man interrupts him shouting "Tony! No!"

Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

Everyone in my feed is shitting on Nuzzi. Meanwhile, the other person in the saga is now destroying the medical community and endangering public health.

But let’s slut shame Nuzzi.

When Disney secured the Indiana Jones Adventure ride license from Lucasfilm, they didn’t have permission to use Harrison Ford’s likeness for the poster art. Drew Struzan called Harrison Ford and directly asked him. Ford permitted Struzan because he inherently trusted him.

Page 52 of “Poster Art of the Disney Parks.”

Two poster concepts for the Indiana Jones Adventure ride.

"When Disney licensed Lucasfilm for the Indiana Jones ride, it did not secure the rights to Harrison Ford's likeness. So, when it came to the poster, my take on it was, Gee, if I painted Indiana Jones and don't put Harrison's likeness on it, I'll look like a fool; like I couldn't do it. So I got his phone number and called him up to ask for his permission. He had just the gentlest Indy voice you ever heard. I told him the situation and his response was,
'If you're painting it then you go right ahead.’”
—Drew Struzan, poster artist

Cover of Killtopia Comic Anthology, featuring a despairing man in a tech helmet.

The cover to Blister City
In the background in orange and pink tones sits a massive city, behind which orange mountains rise into a dusty orange sky
In the foreground 3 punks perch on the edge of a building, surrounded by litter and soda cans. The punk on the left wears a blue jacket that says die young on the back.

The text Blister City can be seen in the sky above the city.
