I've seen this movie a hundred times but only now noticed that Perfect Tommy's entire outfit changes when they make the left turn and Pinky Caruthers is noticeably weirded out by this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAgn...

If you're going to be at @baltimorecomiccon.bsky.social this weekend, make sure you stop by Booth 2410 and say hi to my SoNoComicBookFactory studio mate, @plasticfarm.bsky.social and possibly a few of our former interns. Yes. We sometimes have interns. Doing comics of their own now.

Look for me at NYCC this weekend! I don’t have a table, don’t have any signings or panels, and won’t actually be there, but keep an eye out anyway. If you see me, no you won’t that ain’t me you should probably not approach.

That whole “Thanos and Darkseid: Carpool Buddies of Doom” comic going viral a decade or so back opened the doors to a lot of cool opportunities and really helped my “career”.

TMI Tuesday: I wrote it off as a glitch last time, and I’m not exactly complaining per se, but this is the second flight in a row where my dick has set off the body scanner at airport security. 🤷‍♂️

Whenever I would confuse Laura Ingraham for countless other indistinguishable blonde Fox News talking heads, I always remembered she was the first major public figure I ever saw throw up one of these

Laura Ingraham fully doing a Nazi salute (at a giant screen with an image of Trump not visible in this photo, no less) never mind her claims that she was just waving at the crowd
