IT: Welcome to Derry has reached its epic conclusion, but it's far more than one last fright before the curtain closes before 1989. The Season 1 finale also teases an optimistic future.

Monstress by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda is still a great dark fantasy comic, complete with steampunk.
So many great heavies this past year from the Ultimate line to Energon to Absolute and awesome new runs on X-Men, Batman...

Outside of Rankin/Bass, the other franchise that popularised holiday television specials is Peanuts. Whilst a Charlie Brown Christmas started its own trend, its message cuts deeper.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: the US will never live this down. Donald Trump and the dumb cunts who enable him are the shit stains that will never wash off for the same reason Hitler and the Nazis are part of German history forever. The damage is done. There is no coming back from this.
“…USA is a place that people fear… don’t trust … it’s no longer a destination… it’s a place to be AVOIDED.”

Yeah, on the subject of workers being laid off from mergers, what are we going to do to push back against monopolies? Cause the US's current antitrust laws are clearly not doing enough to protect ordinary people from the whims of billionaires. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8Dv...

If you’re using art to express your feelings on real-life stuff, you’re doing exactly what art does best. 👀
Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

I'm going to be that person and say the US is still not doing enough to prevent what happened to Japanese Americans in the 1940s to immigrants in 2025. Alligator Alcatraz still happened. Dark-skinned people are still being violently and illegally detained by ICE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLGc...

So much of the hideous bullshit of modern business makes a lot more sense after you realize that the “customer“ for the products being peddled aren’t actual human beings that go “Oh, that looks good, I’ll buy that,” but the investors shoveling money into the burn pits of these go-nowhere companies.
