Patent drawing somehow goes even harder

@tansyg.bsky.social asks a simple question -- why does Luke Skywalker wear blue jeans in A New Hope? -- that unfolds into an awesome analysis of both costuming logic and the history and politics of clothing. You'll want to read this one.

This is fascinating. The Graham Chapman holy grail! Everyone from 80s comedy is in it. Rik Mayall's giving a restrained performance and hence unrecognisable. Chapman is giving a good performance, and it has some nice moments, but it's not funny enough or engaging enough to justify its vast expense.

Read this a couple of years ago, and it has kept growing in my memory. A wonderful, mature horror novel.

In this week's feature on SKTCHD, I talked with Jordan Blanco, the founder of League of Comic Geeks, dozens of its users, comic creators, and others inside the industry to answer a big question: How and why did League of Comic Geeks become maybe the largest comics-centric community online?

Procrastinating on writing always causes me stress, and I know that if I manage to get seated in front of the laptop for ten minutes, the writing will get easier and it'll be a whole lot of fun. And yet, I do so much more of the former than the latter.

In fact, I have several ideas for how we could spend our Saturday. Thank you for asking.

There is a Kash in every political family in India- the son who only wants to use his power to eat at fancy places ,fly private , buy expensive clothes and generally live a posh life at the taxpayer's expense and has no interest in any part of anything that isn't this, the eyes never leave the prize

Everything Dead & Dying is beautiful, horrific and heartbreaking. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. Thanks to Kraken Comics for pointing it out. Amazing work from Tate Brombal, Jacob Phillips, Pip Martin and Aditya Bidikar. #comic #zombie #everythingdeadanddying @imagecomics.com

Oh, this is nice. I like this.

I just read the first four issues of Zander Cannon’s SLEEP, and I regret it because now I want the remaining four issues RIGHT NOW.

I hope you're sitting down: Gretchen @scumbelievable.bsky.com has once again been suspended for a full week, for making an unfriendly but by no means violent comment that was (imo) almost certainly singled out and mass reported by her usual enemies. Stay frosty until she returns.
