I finished reading the complete works of Fletcher Hanks, and I made a list of my favorite lines. I realized that his work is the first time I've come across a "so bad it's good" thing in comics, like a graphic novel by Ed Wood or Tommy Wiseau.

Well if you put it like that, yeah. Grucko.

I like how there's a playable Jiangshi character in Vampire Survivors, and if you unlock him with a code, the code is "hophophophophophophophophophophophophop".

I really want someone to create a recipe for the "royal sauce" from Kamen Rider Zeztz.

Taking a break from Hades to play the new Balatro-themed DLC for Vampire Survivors, even though by the end of each run my poor Nintendo Switch gets into "seconds per frame" territory.

Getting back into writing M-Force: Messiah, which comments on the treatment of politics in superhero blockbusters and also has room for dumb nonsense like this.

I realized that there's a certain parallel between Fletcher Hanks' comics and Chick Tracts. Both are formulaic, and often involve an evildoer/sinner facing sadistic divine vengeance.

I still find it amusing that Beelzebub originated with Hebrews calling a Phillistine god "Baʿal zəvuv," or "Lord of the Flies," basically saying, "More like the Lord of Poop, amirite?" That evolved into Beelzebub, who in Christian demonology is one of the most powerful demons in hell.

Since the Xeroverse is going to have "Beelzebub" as a primal force of late-stage capitalist greed, I got a figure of the Helluva Boss version of Beelzebub, even though the butterfly fox demon party girl is rather different from the Beelzebub that'll be in my novels.

Every exploitation Frankenstein B-movie wishes it had the sex appeal of Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein. Or for that matter Jacob Elordi as the Creature.

Also I had no idea that Victor had a younger brother named William Frankenstein even in the original novel.

Since I'm planning to include Stardust the Super Wizard in the final Xeroverse book, I got the collection of the complete works of Fletcher Hanks, appropriately titled Turn Loose Our Death Rays and Kill Them All. There's nothing quite like it, though Dick Tracy is probably the closest.

Now available on WeirdLittleKeebs.com, I built a Corne split keyboard with a tented case and even keycaps made from Cookiecad's very pretty Witches Blue PLA filament.

I finished a custom Sofle keyboard for an Etsy customer. This one has orange Asimov keycaps from Keyreative.

I made a list of the things I tend to yell at inanimate objects (when no people are around) and the overarching theme is tech abruptly having problems for no discernible reason and not giving the user anything to go on. Like, my iPhone will just kinda forget how to internet at times.

I really like how the M-Force: Messiah Truthful Trailer is turning out, though a lot of it won't make any sense without having read the novel first.

Probably the most fun fictional YouTube videos to write are Pitch Meetings and Honest Trailers!
October 30, 2025 at 3:32 PM
Probably the most fun part of the Xero novels has been writing fictional YouTube videos, like this one about the worst (fictional of course) Xero merchandise. There's been some remarkably weird/bad superhero merch over the years.

"Excelsior" is:
• One of Stan Lee's catchphrases
• The state motto of New York
• The ship that Sulu was captain of
• A type of packing material made from wood shavings, also known as "wood wool"

A combination of a 3D-printed angled stand and a Bluetooth page-turning remote. There may be a lazier way to read e-books, but this is definitely up there.

I need you to know that there's a novelization of Batman & Robin (1997) and in it Mr. Freeze freezes a guard and calls him a "copsicle," and then when his gang beats up a bunch of other guards he looks down at them and says, "Cop-suey."

Still waiting on finding out when my team is going to move into the office (it was supposed to be September 2nd lol), but whenever we do I'll be ready to learn how many of my coworkers are #Severance fans.

Then I came across Uglymug, Epicfighter, where an ugly but kind guy gets ridiculously epic stats with major drawbacks. He winds up hiding his power and trying to help the other Earth people he's with deal with some very serious trauma and guilt they're carrying.

The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses comes off as dumb fanservice, but quickly shows it has some heart as the assassins find belonging they've been missing while posing as the hero's new party members.
