B. Everything in animation is designed to be quick and efficient to draw. Personal artistry is not part of that equation.
C. If any of those people come from BTAS. Well...

Just finished the final episode.

I rattled the potential guest in my head. When I looked at the name, I said; "Of course!"

Only watch this show if you like great storytelling.
If ALF reruns are your thing, don’t bother.

RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

You're walking, so that's a good sign.
How long until you can walk out?

J Alex Morrissey @jalexmorrissey.com · 3d

I really can't wait to get this, Mahmud. I missed issue one, bought two, never found a copy of one, so I thumbed through the subsequent issues, waiting for the trade.

Can't wait to read it, so many good things said about this.

He's the greatest...

My wife and I went to the Police's LAST show of their final tour. Costello was the opening act for the the entire second half of the US tour, but for those Madison Square Garden shows, it was the B-52s.
They were great, but I so hoped he be the opening act for their final show.
