Things are getting Maoist

Next week: it's Toxie vs. the US Secretary of Energy himself, Dr. Planet.

Congratulations to Vichy comedian, official court jester and lickspittle Bill Maher

The Orioles used to have guys with cool Marvel Comics names like “Darren O’Day” and “Brad Brach” and “Manny Machado” and now it’s ChatGPT outputs like “Taylor Ward” and “Tyler O’Neill”

On mute, Batman and Robin is a movie I enjoy and revisit. But the dialog must never, ever be heard. (Gift link)

I’m not a presidential advisor or anything, but if 71% of the American population thinks you’re doing a terrible job of running the economy it might be a bad idea to write your name on all the money.

My latest funny short fiction is in the back of issue 3 of BABS: THE BLACK ROAD SOUTH by #GarthEnnis and @jacen-art.bsky.social, found everywhere fine @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social are sold! Big ups to @paullittlecolorist.bsky.social for the art & @tompeyer.bsky.social for publishing my extended bits!

Has Bill Maher ever had a good joke?

The opening ceremonies aren’t even over yet and I’ve already strained a cringe muscle.

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

We negotiate with bombs. We kiss with fists. We cope with alcohol. We weep with guns in our mouth. We wake with shards of mirror in our knuckles. Why won’t daddy love us?

“AHOY Comics is stepping into crowdfunding for the first time with a new project that leans into everything the publisher does best: bold ideas, sharp satire, and a willingness to take risks.” — @aiptcomics.com Are you signed up for our debut Kickstarter? 👀 www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

I've worked with @davidmariotte.bsky.social @tompeyer.bsky.social @sarahstarlitt.bsky.social and @besspallares.bsky.social and they all seemed to like me

Look what I found! My art on a metal poster thingy. That's kinda neat! No, I don't get a piece. That's not how Marvel works, but if you buy one and bring it to a con, I'll happily sign it for you. displate.com/displate/557...

Here's a delightful letter from one of our readers in the backmatter of the upcoming issue of BABS: THE BLACK ROAD SOUTH by #GarthEnnis and @jacen-art.bsky.social. Shoot us an email at [email protected] and your letter could make it into the next issue!

Market soars on Trump assurance that poison is candy.

Children, back when newspapers were printed on paper, editorial cartoons appeared without headlines and subheads to explain them in advance, which gave readers a chance to like them.

everybody needs to get on the dorothy b hughes train!!!!! sure chandler can sling a sentence but hughes had the extremely rare gift of a true empathetic imagination and no one has ever done noir better

Suddenly I can't get enough of these guys

Today is the birthday of artist Bernard Krigstein (March 22, 1919-Jan. 8, 1990). He drew for EC Comics & Mad magazine, and illustrated books, magazines, & albums. Also a painter & teacher, he is best remembered in comics for Master Race, the 1955 EC Comics story about the horrors of the holocaust.

I know perfectly well he's a god, too. But what I think is, he'll be much godlier after he's dead.

Someday...

Birthday of Son House. Here he is playing with Buddy Guy. (The whole show is available - Buddy also plays with his own band, sets the room on fire.) I love Son House but can't forget Howlin' Wolf's dismissal of him: 'He done sold hisself to whiskey.'

maybe we should start asking how much money the military is losing

Here you go!

Oh, that's beautiful, Ed, thanks. Never saw it. Now I have to find the issue they swiped that Robin from... I know I've seen it!

BABS: THE BLACK ROAD SOUTH #3 by #GarthEnnis and @jacen-art.bsky.social lands in stores next Wednesday — but you can read the first five pages of the latest installment of the hilarious sword-and-sorcery satire today, courtesy of @geekvibesnation.com. geekvibesnation.com/gvn-talking-...

In Season 6 Episode 4 of the Comic Bin Podcast, Theo sits down with comic writer Jordan Clark to talk about Ancestral Recall, out in trade on April 14, 2026. #comics #comicbooks #ahoycomics @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social

I bought Marvel Comics Oreos, which contain a poison that turns the cream blue when you lick it, or maybe it's not a poison, I don't care, but they were so punishingly sweet I couldn't eat them. So my question is, have all Oreos gotten so much sweeter? Or just these? (It's been years.)

One of our best.

I already signed up to be notified when it launches. My teen might actually read this as he prefers OGNs to serialized singles. Whereas I’ll read anything by @manruss.bsky.social regardless of format.

Trust me—I've known @manruss.bsky.social & Russ Braun collectively for, like, 150 years*, and you want this book! @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social @kickstarter.com @bleedingcool.com bleedingcool.com/comics/mark-...

Happy *hic* St. Patty's Day! #ExpectMoreRounds (Art by the inimitable #RichardWilliams from EDGAR ALLAN POE'S SNIFTER OF DEATH.)

In honour of Kurt Russell's birthday, here's my short story I, KURT RUSSELL, HAVE BEEN THE THING SINCE 1982.

Tomorrow's WBC final is going to be Nixon in Caracas II. #GoVen

Such a good one. The sensibilities of Mark and Russ mesh so well; they both humanize every project they touch. Beautiful Paul Little colors, Rob Steen letters & that far-out logo.

Don't forget to sign up here to be alerted when the Kickstarter launches in earnest: www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down

Creating comics is accessible to literally anyone. All you need to make them is a piece of paper and something that makes marks on it. All you need to publish something is access to a photocopier (and if you have the internet you might not even need a photocopier).
