Hey kids: this is the sort of stuff the internet was supposed to be for

Sandwiches are both delicious and easy to make, plus there is an infinite variety of options.

Woke up, got my coffee, and read this: "Manziel made his MMA debut on Saturday night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and defeated social media influencer Bob Menery by first-round TKO." Pretty sure I am done for the day.

One of the foundational principles behind SOLRAD is that comics are art and that, as such, the medium deserves the same access to venues, discourse, and educational opportunities as any other art form. 1/4

hmmmmm... that seems like a problem to me.

I am humbled and proud to publish all the critics and cartoonists who make SOLRAD what it is. This third Eisner nomination would not be possible without their talent, intelligence, insights, and, quite frankly, patience (with me as their editor).

My youth.

SOLRAD, the two-time Eisner-nominated literary magazine for comics criticism, is open for submissions. We publish reviews, essays, and interviews — and we pay $100 per piece.

Comics people! This year if you want to vote in the Eisners (and didn’t receive an email saying you’re already registered), YOU MUST APPLY BY 13 MAY. Make your voice heard! Historians, educators, ✨ librarians ✨ and comic / webcomic creators should apply here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

And while @danielelkin.bsky.social is selling Comics to Poets, I'll be selling Comics to Zinesters this Saturday in Lansing MI at @liczfest.com - the same great flavors almost a whole continent apart!

Come for the comics, stay for the poetry. Bring me snacks.

My two cents: while well-done, engaging, and both thought-provoking and horror-inducing, I was incredibly disappointed by how Daniel Roher felt he had to end the film. youtu.be/xkPbV3IRe4Y?...

The randos have taken over the thread.

I need to spend more time with fewer people

Careful

Why do EVERY NE Patriots QB since 1975 have such punchable faces? Is it an integral part of the draft strategy?

Wake, work, work, work, sandwich, work, work, work, work, gin, think about tomorrow's work, sleep.

Sometimes it seems that even a sandwich can't fix things.

Today on SOLRAD, we feature David Barclay's essay focused on Collapse Stories in Comics which explores the distinction between post-apocalyptic spectacle and post-collapse storytelling. solrad.co/essay-why-co... @debbido.bsky.social l

Art Day with my child

Agreed, and I profoundly believe that growing up in a post-Watergate world with the ideas of an inevitable nuclear war, "acid rain", Ronald Reagan, "mutually assured destruction", and AIDS has shaped my nihilism and inability to plan for any sort of future even today.

CDN GenX elder (1969). I’m going to say the flip betw the 70s to the 80s was wild. One day you’re in a field listening to bluegrass surrounded by smoke & hippy parents & boom you’re working in a food court at the mall surrounded by brand names & Casey Kasem saving for that university degree

I ate a truly delicious sandwich today. Would have posted about my momentary joy, but I've been busy and life is exhausting.

The Golden Age of infinite content and finite attention spans.

It's the most wonderful time of the year

The critical machine that is SOLRAD did a fine job of humming down the information superhighway, fueled by spectacular bangers, drawing attention to beautiful comics, amazing artists, and the kind of critical and insightful writing that you don't find too often on the internet nowadays.

Spending the rain soaked holidays with my gal

Once again, an amazing fantasy bundle by @aptshadow.bsky.social here. What a deal.

Today is Tom Spurgeon's birthday. Read some Little Orphan Annie or Cul de Sac, write a friend you miss, call your mom, gossip about comics with friends, get a group together for dinner, give a book you love a review, see a play, talk for hours with someone who means the world to you. Remember Tom.

Today on SOLRAD, we feature Hagai Palevsky's review of MISERY OF LOVE by Yvan Alagbé solrad.co/what-are-you... @dialhforhagai.bsky.social
