DMC makes comics now so I’d be surprised if he didn’t as a kid. He’s talked plenty about loving them

I need to rewatch In The Mouth of Madness sometime. I liked it but it definitely felt like the kind of movie that demands repeat viewings to fully appreciate

My friend whose cat gave me the reaction suggested dandruff in his fur might be a potential allergen so I guess a hairless cat wouldn’t have that problem!

The only reason to get rid of interlibrary loan is that you prefer ignorance and illiteracy.

“ALL of Florida lost its [interlibrary loan] services as of October 1. This, of course, most harms those in rural communities. That means those with the most to lose and with the weakest access to education and entertainment materials are now wholly dependent on what their own library owns…”

Grant money that should be going to library projects is going to state-sponsored propaganda, among other IMLS updates.

Holy hell I am just five (five!) backers away now from breaking my previous high backer number

If you want to help me get there, I’d be eternally grateful

Today is your last Saturday to back Macabre Valley, a new Texas horror comic with (among other things) a werewolf priest

Look at the work Anna Readman, Brad Simpson, and Becca Carey did. And these are just the non spoiler pages (!!)

Back it while you still can: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...
