The entire neighborhood just heard me yelp like Homer, since I think one of the neighbor-cats killed and left a mouse for me. If it's the cat I think it was, she's a million years old and possibly blind; yet really wanted in my house and my garage yesterday. Little dead mouse, to sweeten the deal.

Lots of great picks in that thread, but I didn't see Jet Li's THE ONE! I love the hell out of it; where even the baddie gets a sort-of happy ending.

Don't forget Everclear's "Santa Monica," he says right up front he's living with a ghost.

5-tour military vet calls #ICE agents traitors and tells them to prepare for a one-way mission if they come to his neighborhood #chicago #portland Now THAT’S true patriotism 🇺🇸

John Williams music swells, as Grogu carefully weighs out the bag of cookies, then swiftly swaps it for the artifact. Then immediately picks up the cookies again and eats one, as rocks start falling...

Juno and all trans women and trans folk in general deserve safety and respect. Why are we not doing that? @jay.bsky.team This is an extremely fair question that needs to be answered and a fair request that needs to be taken seriously. Do something.

I do like that one. And CYBERPUNK!

Plus, you do that and you can probably get at least one Sergio Aragonés one-shot of him "pitching" for the job. SERGIO: (scribbling frantically) This time for sure, Mark! MARK EVANIER: (thinking) I wonder if Broadsword Comics is hiring? Something with some class...

Inspired by this, post your four favorite ULTRAVERSE characters. Reasons why in the alt text.

I remember a few years ago, he was going to be in an update of THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, but I think we collectively wished that away.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in a theater as a kid.

I suddenly miss the next episode teasers! You don’t see ‘em like that anymore, and we’re poorer as a society for it.

Today, on the blog: we're still trying to blog all of the LEGENDS OF THE DEAD EARTH annuals! Which brings us to today's issue, with about the most Chris Claremont-y page in a very Chris Claremont book: random-happenstance.blogspot.com/2025/09/i-ha...

That said, "Triple Sabotage" could be a great band name. "We're Triple Sabotage, and this song is called 'Escalator Bitch.' ONE TWO THREE FOUR--"

Aw, looks like somebody didn’t get to the merch table at Charlie Kirk’s funeral. Although, I bet the flags weren’t cheap there.

Me: my DVD collection is so messy it can’t even be dignified as a pile, and the racks are so full they’re collapsing under the weight. Also me:

Since I have a little time before my shots, I was trying to do the most basic, rudimentary sort of my DVD's; in the vague hope of not buying the same ones again. (Although, if I do they'll go to my Youngest's collection!) However disorganized you might imagine, it's worse.

Day off, so I'm doing stuff I said I was gonna do: cancelled Disney+ and Paramount, and scheduled my flu/Covid shots for here in a bit. Then I might do a sweep of some pawn shops for some DVD's.

Guess I've got time to watch this for Batman Day: JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS. (Although, I had forgot it was one without Kevin Conroy. Boo.)

A quick strip, with the Punisher and Satana!

Oh, I'll just knock out a few quick pictures! It'll be fun. Until I put my glasses on and realize that figure is dusty as hell. Reset to one!

That cop's determination to not look up is maybe understandable; I wouldn't want the Predator's ballsack to be the last thing I see either.

And some are trying to go back to records… Apple can ask me a million times if I want to try Apple Music or whatever. I specifically don’t. Spotify feels more robbery than Napster, no thanks there.

Name a comedy that never fails to make you laugh

Since some dickhead has been shooting off fireworks, why not a quick message to my local representative?

Glorious. I probably have like 95% of this and I'm still getting it. You should too!

Television used to be great.

Today, on the blog: I add a book to my "Terrible Comics" tag, which I really don't use very often! It joins the 'ranks' of others like WARLORD #10, BATMAN CHRONICLES #21, COUNTDOWN TO INFINITE CRISIS #1... random-happenstance.blogspot.com/search/label...

Not the big issue, but I can't imagine much shittier than fishing with JD Vance. Listening to him make racist small talk while mangling a worm onto a hook and finally making his Secret Service guys do it for him. It might even be worse than being in a room with him.

How many versions of "Plastic Love" do I need on my phone...? Well, one more couldn't hurt.

Look, I know how things really went down in the Marvel Universe.

Is Charlie Kirk still dead? The way some people have gone on about him, I thought he might've rolled the stone away by now.

i heard fbi is offering a reward for information leading to the capture of charlie kirk’s shooter. completely unrelated, y’all remember how the person who called in to report luigi mangione not only didn’t actually get reward money, but also lost their job? wild.

In a week or less, I'm not going to remember if Charlie Kirk was the one with the dry wife, the one with the coffee cup fetish, the one pitching supplements, or the one with the baby head. I'll remember he made things crappy for a lot of people and probably would've done more if he could.

I don't love having to go to work today, but you know what? It's a good day to be alive, isn't it? I'm glad I'm here with you guys.

I don't think "The Cloud Minders" is regarded as a classic, but it's special to me: back when you had to hunt it down on antenna TV syndication, over years of watching TREK at random times, it was the last original episode I watched!

Yay, new PUNISHER today! ...not like that! The comic!

Excellent! Had some Amazon credit, so pre-ordered the three I wanted, and CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO!

I liked this one more than most people, I think: I can headcanon it as everybody acting, like what they THINK Vulcans should act like. But Vulcan-Pike makes a big stink (as it were!) about humans smelling, and misses another: the Enterprise would be chilly to them, almost uncomfortably so!

Hey, dig up STAR WARS #92: there's a character that's a dead ringer for Ann there, same outfit and everything. Who edited that one...?

Is it insult-to-injury that they're sullying the good name of CRITTERS? (Well, not really 'good'...) Pretty sure even the most recent of those was mostly practical effects. In the sense of throwing puppets/Madballs from off-camera at people, but still.

Tomorrow, in comic shops, new (old) PUNISHER: RED BAND #1. Today on the blog, a recent DAREDEVIL: WOMAN WITHOUT FEAR issue with the new Punisher! Elektra isn't impressed, which maybe doesn't sell him...

“…how the hell did Martinex make the roster, Cap?” “I have no goddamn idea. He killed it in the interview with Gyrich, somehow.” “I’m also positive Moondragon used mind control to get a spot.” “Just let me clean out my desk in peace, will you?”

I like that cover, and that Marvel still uses “Journey into Mystery” sometimes; but I always want to see the WHAT THE—?! title “Journey into Misery.” I’m assuming it’s a romance book?

Marvel Cover of the Day If you see this, post a Marvel Cover you love. Journey into Mistery #622 variant by #ArthurAdams

Nice! This week I've been homebrewing my own Panera lemonade, but I feel like I'm not doing it right...
