Thank you for the delicious breakfast and coffee in your fine establishment. Now I’m going to destroy your lavatory.

Last night in Charlotte this kid up front held up a sign at the end of our set that said “Rez, wanna trade drumsticks?” I was almost offstage and our guitar tech pointed to the sign. So I grabbed a stick from my kit and gave him one and he gave me this one. Really cool! 🥲

Well. you can't say FIFA doesn't know how to Dallas properly. They came to town and immediately destroyed a beloved downtown mural painted in 1999 by a revered artist. www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm...

In the comics community, All Stars Comics #3 is a fairly famous image. Lots of parodies/tributes have been created over the years. With this latest commission, it was my turn! The request was to change certain characters and add specific dialog. Done and done!

The street naming of #JackKirby way on the Lower East Side at Essex and Delancy, one of my favorite corners in #NYC. It’s a block from where Kirby was born, and along the street which was the inspiration for his fictional Yancy Street, which is where the The Thing comes from. #comics #kirby

Captain America no. 107 (Nov 1968) cover by Jack Kirby with Frank Giacoia. Picked up a few comics yesterday at The Great Escape in Nashville, including this one. Such a great cover!

I just backed the Dick Tracy Collection - Back in Print Softcovers 1961-1964 www.kickstarter.com/projects/clo...

I almost got this in your honor @spyvinyl.bsky.social But that chunk out of the cover deterred me. Still, I might be on the lookout for a nicer copy.

Making me happy this morning: The Toadies - The Charmer (2026) I hesitate to use slang (probably outdated already as I'm old) but this is FULL of bangers. It slaps. It rocks. @realmarkrez.bsky.social you guys did something special I think! music.apple.com/us/album/the...

Does anyone know what this means? “Page 16 married”

That would've been epic. I did a DARK KNIGHT RETURNS themed Hostess ad a few years back. Will that do?

Currently reading this book. It’s Batman stories from 1985-86, a period when I wasn’t reading Batman comics, so it’s all new to me. I hope they’ll eventually reprint the rest of Moench’s 80s Batman run.

Someone I know in the north west is looking for a home for a big bundle of music magazines (Mojo, Wire etc). Anyone interested? I'm trying to declutter otherwise I'd have been in!

My Harvey Kurtzman shelf. Not pictured are his MAD comics and magazines, which I have stored elsewhere.

Congrats to @nathanmcneill.bsky.social for snagging a signed copy of the new @thetoadies.bsky.social THE CHARMER and thanks to @thetoadies.bsky.social for including Zeus in the giveaway. THE CHARMER releases tomorrow Friday May 1st

I’ve been doing this for 30-some years, and leaving home for weeks at a time doesn’t get any easier. In fact, it gets harder. But…

@realmarkrez.bsky.social Sunday Funnies quiz, 1945. How many can you name? These are mostly before my time, but I got 7.

"Sparky Watts," Boody Rogers’ take on superhero comics (and arguably the first superhero parody), debuted on April 29, 1940. Here are some examples (note the final panel, to give newspapers formatting flexibility). Note how Miss Cobra resembles Boody’s depiction of Betty Brown, and also his Babe.
