PSA for Catherine O'Hara fans (which should be everyone): A Mighty Wind and For Your Consideration have just been added to Netflix Canada, joining Best in Show and Beetlejuice which were added on Sunday.

There is an actual argument that this curse actually worked.

This will be an obscurely niche post for most people seeing it, but I truly appreciate that the DC Finest collection 'Batman: The Case of the Chemical Syndicate' gives first billing, possibly for the first time ever, to writer and Batman co-creator Bill Finger. cc @marctnobleman.bsky.social

Answering my own question, the painter here is Sonia Tarantour Pearl (1938-2013).

Because I'm talking about measles. It is also A VERY VERY VERY CONTAGIOUS VIRUS. If someone is in a room and has measles and then leaves that room and you enter that room within TWO HOURS (depending on humidity) you can get measles. And people are contagious for four days before the rash appears.

Scott Dunbier posted a request to FB this morning seeking people willing to have their original art pages scanned for inclusion in potentially upcoming Artist's Editions volumes and oh my aching wallet.

Also prime Wrecking Crew. Highly recommended.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

For those in need of a brief distraction, here's Linda Ronstadt covering Cat Stevens for a 1973 ABC special featuring Stevens. Fantastic performance! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwNt...

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

"Snow starts within the next hour," declared the weather site with a remarkable degree of understatement.

I really ought to hunt down a poster version of Jaime Hernandez's cover for Love and Rockets #24. My walls are a little bare and I have just the spot for it.

Carney's speech is brilliant. Here is a transcript. I suspect we will be feeling some serious pain in Canada shortly from the reaction open.substack.com/pub/paulwell...

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone recognize the artist named Sonia who painted this in 1954 or 1959? There's a decent chance that she would have been someone local to the Ottawa or Toronto areas.

Definitely adding Shoresy to my queue, just based on this clip.

Tennessee Steinmetz and Herbie, The Love Bug, will return in Avengers Doomsday

Leftists address this constantly. We advocate for universal health care and child care, guaranteed pensions, decommodified housing, and all kinds of other things that would directly address these issues. What we don't do is say "more white babies" which is what is really being asked here

You don't have to be a journalist to know that this is wildly inappropriate behaviour for an editor.

Anne asks, "What’s an obscure/less talked about comics run that you find is a marker of exquisite taste and instant friendship in someone else who likes it?" These are a few of my choices: Buck Godot, Supernatural Law, Leave It to Chance, and Jonah Hex.

Re the latest Avengers: Doomsday trailer, for anyone wondering just who that Cyclops guy is anyway and why is he so angsty, please take a non-optic blast powered look at this handy X-Men primer by @kurtbusiek.bsky.social and @scottmccloud.bsky.social from way back when. bsky.app/profile/neil...

Fifty years later, the original Muppet Show hasn't aged a day. It's brilliant.

Meanwhile, unlike Microsoft's product line, Apache OpenOffice remains completely free for any use - domestic, commercial, educational, public administration, etc. - and does not have any built-in AI slop. Way to cede the "office" branding, Microsoft. Truly, bravo. www.openoffice.org

With the earliest Nancy Drew books falling into the public domain, you know what else they bring with it? Carolyn Keene. Part of me wants to write the adventures of Keene, solving crimes and getting away with it because no one expects anything of a meek writer of teen mysteries,

Update: Movement! Allegedly. I'm skeptical.

The only appropriate response would be to roll for stupidity and modify the grade downwards.

Happy New Year, everyone! This is a @theguardian.com books cartoon from a few years ago.

Just a quiet New Year's Eve at home this year. (Except for the Nick Lowe concert currently blasting on the stereo.)

Page of original art drawn by Neal Adams (with figures inked by Dick Giordano and backgrounds inked by Terry Austin) from Superman vs. Muhammad Ali, published by DC in January 1978. (Currently available from @mycomicshop.bsky.social for the low, low price of just $17k USD.)

It's a bit unnerving when large vehicles display their body counts so brazenly.

The final strip of Milton Caniff's Terry and the Pirates, from 79 years ago today.

Oof. Batten down the hatches, people.

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

There's always the malicious compliance approach. Show up & just play "We Shall Overcome" on repeat for however long the show needs to be to satisfy contractual requirements. And go super hard on rider compliance, especially if the contract allows for cancellation if any term isn't fully satisfied.

It's so sad that kaiju monsters would rather destroy cities fighting each other than just go to therapy.
