I like the soaps that have sort of traditionally “masculine” coded scent profiles but I really hate the I AM A KICKASS MANLY MAN kind of branding. I am looking for investors.

DON'T BE WEIRD ABOUT IT.

IT JUST SMELLS
nice

"KIND OF OUTDOORSY"

Anyone can use this soap. It's not a big deal.
It doesn't make you more or less of any kind of a person to have a pleasant aroma wnd be clean.

SMELL IT AND FIND OUT.

SOAP COMPANY, INC.
This soap doesn't mean anything or define you in any significant way.
It is only designed to be pleasant for all sorts of different people.

The Marvel Transformers series were some of the first comics I ever read, and I had a really great time talking about them! Check it out!

(Available as audio-only on podcast platforms as well, but it’s cool to be able to follow along with the comic)

Transformers AutoBook Club episode 3, featuring the lovely Justin of @ironageofcomics.bsky.social is out now, and it's another fun one, if I do say so myself. Justin is much more fun to hang out with than Soundwave. Nobody likes that guy...

Makes sense that the late-80s/early-90s Iron Man logo would come back into fashion eventually. An object of nostalgia and I think a genuinely good logo for the character! I wonder if we’ll ever get to a point that fans would be excited to see the Heroes Return one again…

If only I had a vocoder to make my voice like Soundwave it’d be the best of both worlds

All I will say is if you look up the records of The West Virginia Society for the Training Big Scary Owls, the co-chairs throughout the 1960s are listed as “John Keel and Indrid Cold”!

I see now that my parents refusing to buy a Super Nintendo “because the old Nintendo works just fine” was actually them shielding me from the sins of whatever this is about.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Podcasting is a valuable and important medium for communicating views that may make some people uncomfortable but ultimately encourage public debate.

For this reason, The Iron Age of Comics does not apologize for expressing either of the following controversial statements on our latest episode:

1) There is no historical evidence that the iron maiden was a genuine medieval torture device

2.) The Mothman of Point Pleasant, W. Va. was most likely one or more owls (or other large birds)

As always, however, we encourage you to think freely and for yourself.

Justin & Jim

Prompted by the same episode, there is a Highway AB near us that my wife and I cannot pass without noting, “Honey starts with A Bee.”

Seconded one million times! They need to be desaturated. The original colorists deliberately used brighter colors knowing the newsprint would tone them down. On glossy white paper, the original colors are far more abrasive than they were intended to be!

Stephen aka Spike Stonehand @spikestonehand.com · 9d

Digital recolors of modern comics that don't honor the matte, desaturated originals are actively destructive of the medium's history. They're no better than the botched ECCE HOMO restoration bsky.app/profile/liam...

I think that’s really interesting to define “stan-ing” as a separate thing from “character-based fandom” rather than just a more intense version of it. But I think that’s right; there’s a different impulse behind it.
