my 80-yr old mother at a Kings game pointing and commenting at the action below.

sharing just because. she's there with my daughter and i'm happy; feeling a bit nostalgic for the days i'd go to the Cincinnati Stingers' games with my parents as a young kid...
photo of an elderly woman taken from behind and slightly to the side from high up in the stands at an L.A. Kings hockey game. the rink can be seen in the center of the photo, the rest of the background is filled with the stands all around the arena.

this one time, in Cincinnati...
image from the end of the famous episode of WKRP In Cincinnati "Turkeys Away" where Carlson comes back in to the room, disheveled and clearly upset, and expresses with regret (following the incident that just happened where the station's helicopter dropped dozens of live turkeys out onto the street and they all landed like "wet sacks of cement") that, "as God is my witness, i thought turkeys could fly"...

we are almost upon the 47th annual WKRP Thanksgiving Turkey Drop... got my decorations up and am waiting for the live broadcast from Fountain Square where the turkeys will hit the ground "like sacks of wet cement"...

cheers to all those who celebrate.
image from the famous WKRP In Cincinnati episode "Turkeys Away" with reporter Les Nesman on the street reporting live as a WKRP helicopter drops live turkeys as a misguided promotion. Les reports in horror as the turkeys hit the ground "like sacks of wet cement". not pictured: the scene famously ends with the line from Carlson stating "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

...so when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills,
you know the one, "Dr. Everything'll-be-alright"
instead of asking him how much of your time is left
ask him how much of your mind, baby...

'cause in this life, things are much harder than in the afterworld...

in this life, you're on your own...
image of Pope Leo XIV (current Pope as of 2025) dressed in white and standing at a microphone with his hands held outward. he is in the middle of speaking, prompting the social media meme this photo is being used for, paring song lyrics with the image to imply he is either singing or speaking the lyrics as part of a sermon.

photo of Pope Leo XIV (current as of 2025) in public at a microphone, surrounded by a crowd of people. he grips the microphone with both hands and is leaning into it with his eyes closed, reminiscent of someone singing in a concert. this photo is being used as part of an ongoing social media meme to pair this photo with song lyrics, playing on the Pope's appearance in this shot.

if you see this, post your getaway vehicle...

(if you recognize this ship, we can be friends)
snippet of a comic book panel from the Marvel run of the Micronauts, specifically showing a closeup of the heroes' ship Endeavor. it is an odd-shaped vehicle, essentially an inverted cone with two large protruding arms and a rectangular forward deck placed between them.

my father #DærickGrössSr painted the comic book mini series in the early 1990s for Innovation. he was such a huge fan of this movie, it was a highlight for him to work on it and embellish the world a bit...

thanks for posting about this classic movie!
cover of issue #1 of the Forbidden Planet comic series from Innovation in the early 1990s, a near-verbatim recreation of the classic movie poster with Robbie the Robot carrying Altaira in its/his arms. art by Dærick Gröss Sr. panel from the comic mini series Forbidden Planet based on the movie. this panel is a closeup of Dr Morbius as he holds his hands to his head, raging at the realization that the monsters are an extension of his own id. his voice balloons read: "kill me! kill me! i am guilty and now my punishment is that i cannot even save my own child! my evil self is at that door, and i have no power to stop it!" art by Dærick Gröss Sr.

getting more bots to block again...

#WithNotKids
screen grab of the bluesky fake account for @lucyjackson098765.bsky.app. typical for these accounts, the banner and profile image are of a pretty young white woman. no followers, no posts, and the following account description: "Single and never been married With not kids" image shared both to call out the fake account to block, and to mock the phrase "with not kids".

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula.
original painting for the cover of Queen Of The Damned for Innovation Comics by Dærick Gröss Sr. in the foreground is the vampire queen Akasha looking out at the viewer stern and cold. behind her is a large profile of her husband Enkil, skin clear and emaciated, tormented. overlayed is the character Marius as he is being buried as the side of the image crashes down around him.

every accusation is a confession...

#FuckYouMiller
image of a post from Acyn's Twitter post with a pic of stephen miller on fox news blathering about Robert De Niro. above the pic is the text of miller's quote. miller: Robert De Niro is a sad, broken old man who is mostly enraged because he hasn't made anything worth watching in at least 30 years. probably the longest string of flops, failures, embarrassments. this man had been degrading himself on camera with one horrific film after another for my entire adult life and he is not taken seriously by anybody. not by his family, friends, community. he is a shell of a man and everybody disregards everything he says." this image was posted by Dærick Gröss on his Bluesky account with the post "every accusation is a confession..." and the tag #FuckYouMiller because, fuck you, Miller. go fuck right off.

every now and again i check out clearsky for funsies and while i have in the past written this one list off, i have to admit i am both fascinated and somewhat annoyed by this particular list someone put me on.

i honestly can't tell if this is a troll list or if someone actually sees me this way...
snippet of a clearsky report page for daerickgross.com as of 15 October, 2025. it is an image of his bluesky account header and a view from the "LISTS ON" tab; specifically one list titled "fascists". bsky account egality.bsky.social added the daerickgross.com account to a list of perceived fascists on 9 March, 2025. the list currently has 1,302 accounts associated with it and the list's description reads: "This is a list of fascists. Either they use fascist rhetoric directly , or they engage in more subtle forms." the post this image was originally added to is sharing it as a point of confusion as to why the daerickgross.com account was added, seeing it as odd and somewhat funny to have been included, as it is dissonant with the actual content of that bluesky account.

every time i see or hear Stephen Miller, i think "this has to be the singular most revolting, despicable man walking the planet today.

every time, a new lie and manipulation, and every time he outdoes himself over the previous one.
one-panel promo for the satire cartoon series Trumpy, with the title/logo in the top left corner, "by the Dæricks Gröss" in the top right corner, and the Studio G logo in the bottom left corner with "find us on BlueSky @trumpy.studiogart.net". image depicts a lampoon of Stephen Miller standing with his arms folded in a completely blank white panel. In large letters above him is the tagline "A satire series about America's worst decision". There is a dialogue balloon from Miller saying "I'm not a racist white nationalist. I just want all immigrants and brown people to be cruelly treated, terrorized, and deported without due process."

hey pop... spending some time with an old project of yours in an effort to pitch it and bring it back to life again. this one isn't for Studio G, it would be Marvelous to win a green light on it

it's good to see your work and read your handwritten liner notes. i feel like you're here with me.
art snippet from a 1990s comic project by Dærick Gröss Sr for Marvel. this image was posted intentionally vague, so the specific project this was for isn't being mentioned. the scene is a young woman, somewhat resembling Lara Croft as was wont in the 1990s, in a Mesoamerican pyramid uncovering a large gemstone. behind her down the hall are several statues of warriors with spears raised menacingly. she stares at the gem as it glows with some form of power.
