“I have to carve the gargoyles, because I can carve nothing else; I leave to others the angels and the arches and the spires.” —G.K. Chesterton Once I was a prolific doodler. Now I do this. ZERO tolerance for leveraging (or encouraging) AI or fascism.

There's something possibly distasteful about proclaiming Prof X is like MLK jr then running his character through the mud and making him worse than Magneto.

And it feels parallel to real world attempts to discredit MLK jr in RW circles

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 22h

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Hearing we lost Christopher Mills today. I discovered his work through Tekno Comix, which led me to his many blogs and getting to interact with him directly, and we even got to have him guest on Greystoked. He truly loved the worlds he got to create in. He will be missed.

I only wrote about 100 comics in my so-called career, but now that I'm dying, I'm grateful that I got to do even that. Comics are such a wonderful medium, and they've always meant so much to me.

Three skulls and a fish (on the grass)

The fish is pink, it’s a pastel and pencil and charcoal drawing, on unforgiving but interestingly grained paper, loose and spontaneous

Is bribery illegal? I have a degree from Yale Law School.

Vance is having an incredible morning on the Sunday shows doing "oh so now it's illegal to [mundane thing]?"

A real quote when Vance is asked about whether Tom Homan kept the $50,000 he got in a fast food bag: "Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services?"

Yes, "the left" have no power in this country, but somehow everything the right does is somehow their fault. This from the people who believe in personal responsibility.

They take so long to read because I constantly have to stop and ask: "what the hell am I looking at?" Grotesque but not repulsive, confrontational but not hostile, Kevin O'Neill makes my brain turn inside-out. (In a good way.)

Two new (to me) volumes! Is... there such a thing as "too much NEMESIS THE WARLOCK"?

Dell Dracula @delldracula.bsky.social · 4d

I guess I meant "only hope unique to today." The hopes that we can get on with living (fascism ends, that the AI bubble explodes, et al) stand.

Dell Dracula @delldracula.bsky.social · 4d

My only hope for the day is that when the NEMESIS THE WARLOCK books arrive in the mail, I can retrieve them before anyone sees them.

Wow. Another year and another snub by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee of every individual known to be in the Epstein files. Almost starting to seem intentional.

White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than “Experts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.

My drawing hand's not doing well so it's all old rerun art for Halloween this year. I really want to work on some new horror movie art before too long. Bleagh.

Drawing done of Nola Carveth and her brood children from the movie The Brood. Drawn in blue and red pencil with some lines darkened with a regular drawing pencil.
