How do I explain to people that this was my job?

My whole body cringes when I see that cover, but please do check out the "lost" Twisted ToyFare strip on my website. And check out the @wizardscomics.bsky.social podcast for the inside story of the dire last days of Wizard. I'm pretty sure it's the first time someone's spoken about it publicly.

If you are like me and maybe, possibly looking for anything to distract you from thinking about something outside your control, you could do a lot worse than Justin spilling the beans on ToyFare history. (Also scroll down for his newsletter!)

A rare appearance by my short-packed chase figure, Ponytail Justin.

If you have any interest or curiosity about Wizard or ToyFare, this should be a fun one for you. I had fun recording it!

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy. www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how...

The bitter, bitter end...

I started as an intern at a well-known comic book magazine 25 years ago this year...and there may be a podcast appearance about that very thing coming later this week.

found an alternative to TikTok called Reading A GD Comic Book

Elon: “I’d like to pay one of the 4% of writers with career stability to torch their career and join me in a boondoggle to put everyone below them out of business. How much should I offer?” Sycophant: “Twice what a Midwestern babysitter makes an hour?” Elon: “Excellent.”

RIP Catherine O'Hara. First saw her back in the day on SCTV. Incredible in everything. Committed without every going over the top. Could do it all & make it look easy. Hall of Famer in comedy. Schitt's Creek was just the latest project to show her masterful versatility. We lost her way too young 💔 💐

Catherine O'Hara is as much of a "good in absolutely everything, no matter how good the thing itself was" actor as Philip Seymour Hoffman.

DETECTIVE HARRY HOLE: Its me, norways famous detective, Harry Hole. in Norway it's a normal name. POLICE CHIEF: Hole, I'm glad you're here, and that your name is normal, in our culture. this is a hell of a murder

All of these senators pushing "reforms" need to explain how they will enforce them given the fact that ICE is a lawless band of Klansmen that breaks the law constantly.

Middle aged white men (and I’m 49, so I’m in the demographic) absolutely need ridiculous Dad Hobbies or they get squirrely. I think if you’re can’t prove you have a preexisting Dad Hobby or 2 by age 45, you get entered into a national hobby draft and get assigned one. It would solve so many things.

IMMEDIATELY stole this meme.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

INBOX: Schumer announces Senate Democrats Will Not Advance Appropriations Bill If DHS Funding Is Included. "Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included"

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

We have an entire class of Democratic "leadership" that has been told that it's dangerous and extreme to say this, and that does not understand that what Democrats want is for their leaders to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. That should not be as big an ask as it apparently is.

Can't wait to dig into this. Beatles Rock Band is one of my Top 3 video games of all time.

As far as I'm concerned, Norm's Batman IS Batman.

If this were an employee, you would fire that employee.

The most "20-year-old English major"-ass lede on this thing possible.

Great but spoilery piece. Says a lot of what I was trying to say (at newsletter.justinaclin.com/p/a-carol-co...) and more, but much more eloquently. This show contains multitudes.

"We don't need gun control, we need better mental health support." Okay, so...

Just filled this out and I suggest you do the same.

imagine watching this and not thinking that this is the whole goddamn reason to even *have* America

Go vote for @thorazos.bsky.social's World Within the World for Best Collection in the @brokenfrontier.bsky.social Awards! (You can vote in the other categories too if you want, but Best Collection has to be World Within the World, so get used to it)

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

It is my strong conviction that there is no conviction harsh enough in our current legal systems to be deserved by the degenerates who created Real Politics Gambling.

Last Christmas, my child was in a residential treatment facility for a little-known neurological eating disorder called ARFID, so we missed @allelitewrestling.com's Christmas show at the Hammerstein Ballroom. This Christmas they're healthy, so we went. I wrote about all this for @defector.com.

Among other things, this is intended as instructional for the next Democratic president.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HORSES! IT IS HORSE BIRTHDAY! HORSE!!!!!

Happy New Year, folks. As a very wise man once said, may all your haters become your waiters when you sit down at the table of success.

Reposting my single issue comic book thumbnail template for whoever might need it. 20 interior pages plus a cover, fits onto a single 8.5 x 11 inch sheet. Just print it out and draw on it or drop it into your fave software. Go make comics!

You have no idea what it means to get such high praise from The Original Bad Boy of TV Criticism. Sean is one of the sharpest minds and writers out there.

The government doesn’t let this version of White Christmas get a lot of commercial play in retail because it’s simply too good and people would get down too hard in public

Merry Christmas! Let’s go kill Skeletrex

About a Boy is a Christmas movie.

I've seen art from this and it looks [redacted]* *(great)

The former Wizard employee group chat has been on this all afternoon, and personally I'm at the stage where I'm trying to figure out if this is more or less embarrassing than the time he went on the Tyra Banks talk show.

Reserving judgment until I see it with mine own eyes, but this could be A Holiday Miracle.

If she really remembered them she wouldn't be rushing to show her children.
