Just because I am feeling punchy this morning, the Raw Shark Texts and the Sugar Frosted Nutsack.
alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

Just had a hankering for this classic. A fave to try to sing with @geekworlds.bsky.social at jams at the Jolly Alderman, a way back in the day.

My latest at @comicsjournal.bsky.social: I talked to @oglaf.bsky.social! Not the character, but rather, the people who create it.

They don't do many interviews, so this was a real treat. They're funny people! Turns out they're not super private, just...really bad at PR?

Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

Did I mention my recent compulsion to watch episodes of the Gong Show? Weird weird stuff!

Oops I accidentally deleted my post of the Surfer vs Poor Things for the evening, when I find myself unexpectedly alone.
Poor Things was definitely the right choice. What a wild and beautiful, funny and weird movie!

Ah such a nice sunny day, I should get out for a walk!
Has a nap.
Ah still so nice out, I should go take some pictures!
How is it lunch time already? Spaghetti.
Okay now is the time!
Right after hearing the story behind the Final Countdown...

Got my costume done just two days after Halloween! Marvel villain the Trapster!

The saddest day of the year.

On the other hand my birthday mix has come together well ahead of schedule.

Why am I still putting together this Halloween costume, two days after Halloween? And it would be kind of a pain to store, so will I bother to keep it for next year?

Here are the pages from the October 2025 jam. An epic struggle between baseball and Halloween!

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

By the way I quite liked Wayward. Very much my cup of tea. Mae Martin rocks.

Last week I got on a roll of of listening to Woody Guthrie, and then old time-y folk and country. Which included several versions of In the Pines. Then watching Wayward this week, it included In the Pines a few times, so I thought I would include it on my monthly mix.

I think October's comic would be titled "Jason vs the Atmospheric River"

What was I thinking, my costume should have been Francis from STUGO.

I feel like we may have gone here the last time we got together... just now mine feel like Elfquest... Yummy Fur... and Ted McKeever's Eddy Current.
I would have to say it was Frank Miller’s RONIN that made me decide to make comics for real. I was into comics but never really thought about making them my career until I found RONIN.
"This was the book that started it for me."

@christophcondon.bsky.social picks Darwyn Cooke's The New Frontier as one of his most influential reads.

What would you pick?
