Ah yes. In Louisiana, we keep it interesting with this guy.

A Gordon McKernan billboard that says “L’avocat? It’s good for you either way!” And features Gordon’s head superimposed over half an avocado where the pit should be.

One neat thing about Shreveport is that we have, like, six of these people.

it’s not a proper city until you have one weird guy who keeps running for office and will never win, who everyone in the city knows but nobody anywhere else knows

it's pretty enjoyable seeing people who are now following the NYC election and just discovering the existence of Curtis Sliwa and you can feel the ???????s floating around their faces

Current status.

A panel of a cartoon moose looking stressed out and surrounded by 10,000 imaginary ducks that are saying “Hiya, Moose!”

Text below the panel reads “when not a single one of your ducks is in a row.”

This image is from the book Moose Blasts Off!

That Librarian: Amanda Jones @librarianjones.com · 3d

Ryan Thames has issued a formal apology to me. This was never about $—it was about integrity. I’m grateful that the false statements have been publicly corrected and that the truth is now clear. I hope this outcome serves as a reminder that words carry weight and accountability matters. @la-cac.org

Hold Them Accountable!

Thank you to @librarianjones.com for the courage and conviction to stand up to those who spread hateful lies about librarians and educators.

It was never about the money. It was always about the truth and integrity.

Thank you, Amanda Jones. Courage is indeed contagious.

GET THIS: One of the men who defamed Amanda Jones tucked his tiny tail btwn his legs & posted an apology. That’s nice, but we already knew the truth about Amanda’s attackers. Plato summed it up: “False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.” @librarianjones.com

A pumpkin carved with a human shaped opening, and then the guy from The Enigma of Amigara Fault by Junji Ito has been cut out with a text bubble saying “it was made for me!” And attacked to the pumpkin so it recreates the scene from the manga where the guy is climbing into the human shaped hole in a cliff side except now it’s a human shaped hole in a pumpkin.

Got kicked out of a haunted house last night because I wouldn’t put my phone away. Excuseeeee me! I was just trying to use Shazam to find out what song a skeleton was playing on his rib cage like a xylophone.

cow tools daily @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social · 8d

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

Thanks to Cavalier House Lafayette for hosting me for a super fun signing this weekend. I had a blast reading books and drawing with kids!

A photo of me at a bookstore signing holding up a giant print of a frog-like monster, and the squiggle I used to create the character. There are bookshelves and a comfortable chair in the background.

A photo of me drawing a squiggle character on a big pad of paper on an easel. A kid named the monster “Mac” and told me he’s afraid of gummy worms, but loves to eat gummy bears.

After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.
