Resolution is terrible, but I’ve never been hit over the head *quite as hard* with how much Jim Aparo owed to Frank Robbins

this is the stuff if you’ve got a minute
fascinating thread!
Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?

Come down an Elizabethan/Jacobean rabbit hole with me.

Friends, my little brother is undergoing chemo for a very treatable form of leukemia. He's not destitute or anything, but his treatment comes with a hefty out-of-pocket upfront cost. He's our town's beloved coach/teacher/first responder, so folks here want to support him with a benefit auction.

Marking MLKs birth by recalling when folks opposed me as the King event speaker so I created a radical critique of white racism and capitalism composed entirely of King’s speeches without telling people until the end that the words were King’s and not mine. Can we say: Sublime.

Oof. Over $4,000 in medical bills from my first ER visit (misdiagnosed), my intensive care visit (misdiagnosed) and my second ER visit (diagnosed!) And I'm still looking at minor surgery post-diagnosis.

BTW, if any editors are reading this, I am SUCH a fucking good comics writer, you have no idea.

Hi #PortfolioDay. I'm Alison and I like to draw pages which tell a story- comics, book covers, illustrations, all sorts. I like the puzzle of the job: thinking of a good idea to do what is needed in a striking way, am available for book and comic covers in 2026.

I guess I hadn't posted my "Godzilla Vs. Portland" cover yet but here it is. I wasn't allowed to put anything in his hands which changed my initial idea a bit but I got most of what I wanted. It was announced so I assume it's cool to show you:

Hey other adoptees who, like me, have an amended birth certificate that’s a photo of microfiche with blanks and mistakes from the amendment: we should all order new birth certificates now. They’ll come on official docs that DHS/TSA will be able to recognize as a birth certificate.
