Today's the day! I'll be seeing the Silver Scream Spook Show presenting a kaiju classic in just a little while...

Tonight I will be at Dad's Garage Theatre Company, taking notes to write up the recap of their weekly improvised soap opera, "Scandal!" (Tonight's the season finale!) The summaries to date (along with highlight clips from each episode): www.dadsgarage.com/blog/scandal...

Signed comic of the day: Green Lantern Gallery #1 signed by @jcalafiore.bsky.social, @cullyhamner.bsky.social, and Dave Johnson.

The two murders were because: 1. An ICE employee got mad at a calm, complying woman he stopped and murdered her to end the conversation. She wasn't part of any crowd. 2. An ICE employee shot a man in the back for attempting to provide medical aid to another victim of ICE's illegal violence.

Signed comic of the day: Flaming Carrot #7 signed by Bob Burden.

My heart is broken.😭💔 This RACIST SCUMBAG lives in Kelowna, British Columbia, and Tizzy wants to know who he is (and so do I). What he did to these poor people is a HATE CRIME in Canada, and he better not get away with it, the ANIMAL needs to be shunned, shamed, and prosecuted. Please repost.

"Caused by the incitement and the frenzy of the crowd." The classic "Look what you made me do" defense.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? A memorial week: Remembering Claire Maurier with a feminist drama. Remembering Jack Taylor with a Jess Franco psychosexual head trip. Remembering Kenji Ohba with a fantasy action epic. Remembering Donald Gibb with Firesign Theater surrealism.

RIP Claudine Longet. youtu.be/-QixNahXlU0?...

Farewell to Donald Gibb. Perhaps my favorite role of his was as the hulking but ultimately friendly biker Bo in the Firesign Theater film "Nick Danger in The Case of the Missing Yolk." "This is Bo. Alias Bo. Also known as Bo. He answers twice to the name 'Bobo.'"

Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter!

Accountability for Renee Good and Alex Pretti youtu.be/oO4OcP0aIF4?...

Cue Renee Good, Alex Pretti et al rolling their eyes in Heaven.

Signed comic of the day: E-Man vol. 2 #1 signed by Joe Staton.

This is an old item, but I wish I'd seen it before in time to share for Mother's Day: An audio recording of Renee Good from her high school days singing "Do What You Have to Do", played at a memorial for her. A haunting reminder of a voice that was silenced.

Signed comic of the day: Doctor Who Monthly #57 signed by David Lloyd. (As there was no room on the actual comic page, he signed the issue on the text article on the facing page.)

Farewell to actor Jack Taylor at the venerable age of 99. Perhaps best known for his work with Jess Franco, he also worked with such diverse directors as Jose Ramon Larraz, Juan Piquer Simon, John Milius, Milos Forman, Ridley Scott, & Roman Polanski (though I won't hold that last one against him).

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

Signed comic of the day: Creepy #10, signed by Frank Brunner on his fan-art submission.

"Elegy for Renee Good". Wrote in February, got my final publisher's rejection today. Just bc no one'll publish angry poetry doesn't mean it's worthless. Too long for alt text, read it here: www.writerscafe.org/writing/sea2... #poetry #poetrysky #poetrycommunity #writing #poem #ReneeGood #protest

Unlikely compatriot Xander Bilyk is back, with two poems: "A Prayer for Renee Good" and "ICE Out Sestina" at www.unlikelystories.org/content/a-pr... #poetry #reneegood #ICE #litmag #smallpress

DC Comics on sale the week of every US presidential inauguration since it was founded: a thread Harry S. Truman (April 12th, 1945)

Cue Renee Good, Alex Pretti et al rolling their eyes in Heaven. (Yes, I've said that before, and I'm sure I'm going to keep saying it every time anyone in this administration says something like this.)

Signed comic of the day: Brinke of Eternity #1 signed by Brinke Stevens.

Renee Good spent her last morning doing what mothers do ~ taking care of her child, then taking care of her community. She should be here. This Mother's Day, we honor her memory ~ and fight for justice for Renee and for every mother, every family, and every community that deserves better.

Signed comic of the day: The graphic novel Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth signed by @grantmorrison.bsky.social and @davemckean.bsky.social.

Happy Mother’s Day to Renée Good. Today, we honor her memory, her courage, & the ultimate sacrifice she made. She should be here with her babies today, but her legacy lives on in the people she loved, the lives she touched, & the continued fight for a more compassionate & just world. 💐

Today, Renee Nicole Good should be reading Mother's Day cards from her kids and having a special breakfast with her wife.

Accio Schadenfreude!

Tonight I will be at Dad's Garage Theatre Company, taking notes to write up the recap of their weekly improvised soap opera, "Scandal!" (Tonight's the next-to-last episode!) The summaries to date (along with highlight clips from each episode): www.dadsgarage.com/blog/scandal...

Signed comic of the day: Wonder Woman #750 signed by @gailsimone.bsky.social and @colleendoran.bsky.social.

Don't forget about the other 7. Just to show that POC don't really matter:

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! What's YOUR #LastFourWatched? Remembering Nadia Fares with two of her English-language films: a brutal Australian survival horror, and an over-the-top action thriller. A Hallmark cozy mystery. And a rewatch of an all-time Marx Brothers classic.

Signed comic of the day: Tomorrow Stories #7 signed by @hilaryhack.bsky.social.

One of my favorite “I have to Google that right now because it sounds so insane” pieces of trivia is Ted Turner owned so much land he essentially held control over 15% of the earth’s entire buffalo population and as a result single-handedly preserved enough to prevent the species from going extinct

Signed comic of the day: Speed Racer #24 signed by Lamar Waldron and Susan "Rev. Suzie the Floozy" Barrows (complete with lipstick print!). (This issue introduced Satin Turana, their tribute to Tura Satana of "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" fame.)

May 7. Four months since the murder of Renee Good, and still waiting for justice.

Today marks four months since the murder of Renee Good. This is long overdue.

Signed comic of the day: Power Pack Grow Up #1 signed by June Brigman & Roy Richardson.

"I envy you having me to envy." I'm binging on Duke Phillips clips right now. youtu.be/cT2tQf47o54?...

A perfect summation.

Ted Turner lived long enough to witness the complete befouling of a significant part of his life’s work (CNN, cable news, arguably cable television altogether) but somehow Turner Classic Movies endures and that’s pretty awesome.

Jane Fonda says that Ted Turner was the nicest to her of all her husbands and that is enough for me.

Yeah? Renée Good and Alex Pretti were our friends.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE BURGER THAT'S COMING? pixelframe.design/burger-king-...

Signed comic of the day: Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD vol. 2 #1 signed by Bob Hall.

Cue Renee Good, Alex Pretti et al rolling their eyes in Heaven.

People keep asking Alan Moore questions about comics he's disowned when they could spend more time asking him questions about things he actually gives a shit about—and get answers as glorious as this.

Reposting for May the 4th: A Boba Fett sketch I got from Jamel Jones at my local comic shop in 2019, when Star Wars Day and Free Comic Book Day coincided.
