Love it when the grocer sends me a salad delivered late in the evening on the day of expiration. Totally fair and ethical.

There's a Drop a Cartoon deal going on, so I wanted to mention a random one that auto-played on Tubi over the weekend. Mythic Warriors: Guardians of the Legend, which adapted Greco-Roman myths for 2 brief seasons. Thought it was an obscure foreign deal, but it ran on CBS in the late '90s. Decent.

Awkwardly acknowledging the twentieth anniversary of the one time each that I watched the two Kill Bill movies theatrically and never again because of the bloat and overall "eh."

Costco's Kirkland Egg Nog Wine Cocktail is poison to me. Watery, bland, & mixes poorly with actual nog. No buzz at all-- just headache, nausea, and heartburn lasting all night. And I tried it several times, feeling gross each time, so it wasn't anything else in my diet. Never again.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

That first panel is NOT a commentary on our current political and socio economical status here in the US. This was published in 1986. I repeat, this is NOT a comment on a contemporary situation…

(Psst! It’s a totally valid statement of the current times)
a scarred and scowling man asks, “What is this town beyond a monument to greed and a haven for the corrupt? There is no past that we have learned from, no future beyond a commodity to be traded. We fester in the pan-dimensional vortex, corrupting everything we touch. Look into my eyes. Tell me what you see. It is the soul of Cynosure – – the soul of a monster. Every deed, every desire, no matter how dark, has a price.” Grimjack #19 (1986) art by Timothy Truman & Steve Erwin. Written by John Ostrander

1988’s Eclipse Comics 10th Anniversary Poster, with art by Stan Woch, Mark Johnson & Tom Yeates.

There were a lot of good comics published by Eclipse in its day. I miss it.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.
Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

Truly wild that Judd Apatow and Paul Feig were both involved with a single season Fox popcult sketch comedy show that ran in 1993...AND IT WAS NOT THE SAME SHOW.

Apatow worked on the Ben Stiller Show, and Feig worked on this...

None of us are truly worthy of the awesomeness that is this Marie Severin tour de force. But hey - it's my once-every-so-often "Ya gotta see this!" post.
A pyramid of the Marvel heroes, c. the very late Silver Age. The Hulk is the base, and all prominent heroes are featured. Captain Marvel is the new kid on the block (in his Kree uniform), and the X-Men are nowhere to be found!

Another highlight from last month’s Baltimore Comic Con… chatting with the talented @chrisgiarrusso.bsky.social! He drew this astonishing Blue Devil sketch for me, and I picked up some of his G-Man collections! Absolutely love his art style!!
