For some inexplicable reason, this brilliant 1938 anti-Appeasement cartoon by the great David Low came to mind when I looked at the list of the Mega-Powerful / Hyper-Rich at yesterday’s Windsor Castle nosh up for our superhuman masters.

Dig this pulp artist John R. Flanagan (he moved on to slicks and books as well). Bio: www.pulpartists.com/Flanagan.html An Aussie who immigrated to America. Ended in York, PA. Not too far from East Stroudsburg where Frazetta lived. Wonder if they crossed paths.

I'll be watching developments in this chilling story. Young guy found hanged on campus. From a tree. Ruled suicide. But family says there are bruises and broken bones in arms and legs. There will be a second autopsy, paid for by Colin Kaepernick. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

October 2025! My long time passion project finally hits shelves. This is the story that I became a comic book creator to tell! And it's the first in a series! THE OCTOBER GIRL, Book One! From me and @madcavestudios.com's Maverick imprint! Pre-order it now!

Guy always gave 110%. As great a tragedy as Joe Maneely.

Probably “tear it up and start over again, kid”. Naw— Joe was always pointing out how to make things better and explaining why, rather than just pointing out flaws. He was a great, natural teacher.

STORMBRINGER (1977) Acrylic on Masonite - 30" x 20" I remember trying to get in the mood of painting for the last time the albino sorcerer king, Elric. I took a clothes rail out of a closet for my sword and ran around outside slashing at weeds and lunging at the breeze. 1/5

I can’t believe I caught this 🦋 Just before noon, I figured I better check again… the hangar bay was opening! Little out of focus for a few seconds, but I got the focus back- apologies- I was so excited & shooting w/ the sun on my viewer.

Could be the basis of a great song

"Right now, Beijing is offering cheap, clean power, employment, trade and a route to prosperity. Washington is offering tariffs, policy chaos, White nationalist memes and South Korean workers in shackles after a raid on an EV battery factory." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Hahahahahahah what are you TALKING about? Can you imagine if any of their employees said crap like this? lord! LORD!

On a side note, the current Lord Dunsany seems to be a rather swell guy too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randal_...

Four lines in you remember why Dunsany was untouchably great at what he did.

Adding this to the reading stack. (Next volume is coming in November...)

Goodnight.

🥳 My wife just tested negative and she's feeling better! Kiddo and I are still COVID free. The HEPA filters and masks did their job, and we're going to keep the HEPA filters going. She will keep masking for a few days to safeguard against post-Paxlovid rebound

Just wanting to let y’all know the cops have never had to chase a bear out of my ice cream shop, though I suppose that’s what an ice cream shop would say if they had had to have cops chase a bear out of it at some point. (via @anecdoche.com) [latimes.com]

IRS-CI is “the agency that took down Al Capone.” 2,000+ agents investigate major tax evasion, identity theft, cartels, bribery, money laundering. Identified $9 billion in fraud in 2024. This? In addition to inestimable damage to our civic fabric, this resulted in 4 arrests for fare evasion. So, $9.

Look at those crazy abstract black shapes spotted everywhere, so decorative and so great. Why can't my mind work like that?

An image you can hear.

Goodbye Summer by J.C. Leyendecker. #art

Sigh. Another chore (three actually)for the week.

I ask and Kurt responds in detail in a thread. Never knew this was in the Dr. Strange creation mix (limited as it seems to have been). I briefly mentored a Christian kid who wanted to do "any Marvel character" except Dr. Strange. No dark magic, thank you. Thanks, Kurt. You always deliver.

Holy fucking shit
