One of your first tasks as a burlesque emcee: learn how to comfortably pronounce “ecdysiast” so it rolls off the tongue.

My dad dropped out of high school and enlisted (to avoid being drafted) so he could chase Nazis back to Germany from the turret of an armored car.

I promise that very little of my writing is actually about my mustache. I just shaved it for a Halloween costume and there was some question about how long it would take to return.
It’s kind of funny to have that as a trademark, since it echoes my dad’s 1970s look.

I thought this post would show the pic from Patreon, but it doesn’t.
So here’s my stupid face with my brand new mustache. It’s not quite a mustache. It’s more of a canstache. But it’ll get there.

I didn’t expect it to catch on… but I really wanted it to. I tend to wear a Union Kepi to protests and marches and demonstrations.

That article is misleading and doesn’t give the actual timeline of the poll… which ended a day before the Nazi tattoo story broke. I noticed most of the articles are currently using this same dishonest framing. But look at the dates the polling was conducted: 16th to 21st.

I was thinking about “deep cuts”: references that are so obscure that they’re for the author more than the audience, and that always reminds me of this.
When I saw the scene in HAIL, CAESAR it tickled something in the back of my mind. A really specific echo of a photo I’d seen, of Gary Cooper.

Stumbled across this screenshot while organizing some things and I’m sharing because it made me laugh. It’s from ELVIRA IN MONSTERLAND, issue 5. Elvira has shown up in my apartment to break fourth walls and complain about me using a flashback. Art by Kewber Baal, who did an amazing job on the book.
