A refresher introduction for new followers or people going, "Now why do I follow this person again?":

Hey, y'all, I'm an editor with a specialty in comics and graphic novels. I spent ten years in the Bat-Cave and have done all kinds of cool things since then.

Today is the birthday of artist Nick Cardy (Oct. 20, 1920-Nov. 3, 2013), most remembered for his work at DC Comics.

Four covers by Cardy: Teen Titans #16, Aquaman #42, The Brave and the Bold #92, and Batlash #2.

"Barnaby" creator Crockett Johnson was born (as David Johnson Leisk) on October 20, 1906. Beyond Barnaby, Johnson is also fondly remembered for books including “Harold and the Purple Crayon” and “The Carrot Seed” (the latter written by his wife, Ruth Krauss).

31 werewolves.

A werewolf bares his fangs on a movie screen while two robots and a human dude watch said movie and snark on it. Still from MST3K episode 904, "Werewolf." It's absolutely fascinating.

Mr. Dapper is either in on it or the thieves don’t have a chance escaping his superior investigation skills, there is no in-between.

Monster High doll Clawdeen Wolf. A pretty teen gal with luxurious brown hair, little canine fangs, wolf ears, and a black jacket with lavender fur.

Fun fact: live scorpions may be sent through the USPS for medical research and antivenom production purposes, but they must be contained in a puncture proof box labeled “live scorpions” inside another box labeled “live scorpions.”

During the '17 Women's March, I tweeted "I marched today for women because when I needed them most to, women marched for me." Gay rights, feminism, abortion, anti-war, pro-education, conservation, clean water, against drunk driving, etc. Women have always been at the forefront of resistance & change

I think it's kind of nasty and reductive to refer to mature women who marched today as "wine moms and grandmas," even when it's said in admiration or support

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

reposting with alt text bc i love this

a crowd of what looks like older people sitting at a No Kings Rally, there's a barricade in the background with even more people standing behind it holding signs. In the center of the image is an old woman, wearing a turtle neck and a sweater over it. She has glasses on with the darker sun lenses flipped up. She's holding a sign that reads: "GRANTIFA. Grandmothers against fascism!"

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

Toni Morrison was raising children & working as an editor in the civil rights movement, she said what can I do from where I am & the time I have, she decided editing important Black work was her contribution to the struggle.

Wanna to go to a virtual No Kings rally that focuses on healthcare (with a side of "vaccines are good, actually" and "eugenics is bad, actually")?

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

One thing I always hear from heroism experts is that doing small courageous things equips us to do big ones later on.

My mother-in-law was nervous about wearing her #NoKings gear to the airport for her flight this morning, but she got *lots* of compliments. Even the TSA agent told her, "I like your shirt."
