Wearing a cat blanket and it’s ridiculously warm. Highly recommended!

It used to be you hop off social media for part of a day and you'd miss a few jokes, and now you are busy for a few hours and it appears you missed the rapture???

You should do what Tiffany suggests both because I'm writing a piece in it AND because it's going to be cool as heck. Look at that lineup! Mostly killer, and one filler (me)! (Just kidding, I already wrote my piece and I think it's a good one)

It's a Real Talk week on Off Panel, as @badmachinery.com joins me to talk about the realities of making and working in comics today, his recent path, doing his own thing, what brings him joy in comics, and more, before we close with one TV rec and...Formula 1 talk???

This is...incredible?????

We are so back.

If I were the New England Patriots, I would simply stop fumbling the football.

There’s a direct connection between @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social’s Bone appearing in Disney Adventures and my mom advocating for comics in her school. I always wondered how Disney decided to inject an indie juggernaut into its massive readership. @davidharper.bsky.social tracked down this history:

Editing important clips for this week's episode of Off Panel with @badmachinery.com and you just never know who is going to show up on this dang podcast.

I hate unboxing videos. HOWEVER, I am a CARTOONIST. So.

Happy Batman Day to all those who celebrate (appropriately).

@davidharper.bsky.social chatting with Ed Brubaker. I love when these two dudes get together. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uae...

this exists it is called thinking

First place!

Bryan Woo I need you to be okay. You are not allowed to be injured.

This is so dang awesome.

SUPERMAN #33 Variant Cover.

Folks, I woke up to the most spectacular thing I've received in some time. It's so beautiful. I want to weep. I cannot wait to share it with people.

The ongoing battle in Alien: Earth between Kirsh and Morrow for the Most Interesting Character belt has been one of the fiercest brawls for a show’s top spot I’ve seen in a while. (I think Kirsh took the lead this week but it’s anyone’s ball game in next week’s finale)

I'm putting together another Mailbag Q&A on SKTCHD/Off Panel's Patreon, so if you have any questions you want me to answer about comics, the industry, podcasting, writing, or whatever, hit me up. These are always a good time!

YESSSSSSSSS. Paging @phillipsevy.bsky.social.

Watched The Candidate for the first time tonight thanks to @fantasticcosmic.bsky.social and this scene was a straight barn burner. Robert Redford was cooking in that car.

📝New Episode📝 @davidharper.bsky.social of @sktchd.bsky.social & Off Panel joins us to discuss how recent life events forced him to embrace comics & comics journalism totally. Also, what's the ideal comic shop? What's he reading & loving? Listen on your fave podcast app or just click🔗🧵⬇️

It’s a big day: first time running two days in a row since my heart attack. And feeling good!

League of Comic Geeks is many things. A pull list manager. Collection tracking. A place to rate and review comics. It might also be the largest pure comics community online. Today on SKTCHD, I explored how LoCG became a giant, and a core part of comics for many of its (staggering number of) users.

Got to my comic shop when they opened and it is far and away the busiest new comic day in recent memory. It’s almost Free Comic Book Day busy. People love that Marvel/DC business.

Many folks are on SKTCHD reading my feature on League of Comic Geeks, and if you enjoy it or come across something that intrigues you, maybe consider subscribing to SKTCHD to support my (Eisner-nominated) work and to read what I do. It costs the same as one comic a month! sktchd.com/subscriptions

2 weeks away! {comic by @heyluchie.bsky.social}

Folks are having critically important discourse in the fantasy football Reddit

today seems like a nice day to make sure you've hit that prelaunch button to make sure you're in the loop for the comics courier issue 3 www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

In this week's feature on SKTCHD, I talked with Jordan Blanco, the founder of League of Comic Geeks, dozens of its users, comic creators, and others inside the industry to answer a big question: How and why did League of Comic Geeks become maybe the largest comics-centric community online?

Folks, this headline is a question I ask myself all the time. Catch me on @cbccpodcast.bsky.social this week, where I talk about my new era of full-time comics journalism/podcasting and a whole lot more. It was an absolute delight!

You couldn’t make a movie like All the President’s Men these days. No one answers the phone that much anymore.

Time for a good ol’ fashioned one person film festival.

Shouts to @vannotesbooks.bsky.social for the excellent mail day. I can’t wait to read all of this, but in particular, I always love @aluhnim.bsky.social’s art. This whole comic looks amazing, though!

Etsy Witch is a god.

I’m delighted to admit that this week’s podcast with @ngoziu.com has fully reawakened the emo/pop punk kid in me that I thought was long gone. We are so back.

I almost made it through an entire recording of a podcast outro without having to pause and start a section again, and when I broke my streak, I literally growled at my microphone. It did not help.

Style lessons from Robert Redford, one of the most stylish men in the last century. 🧵

I’m on @cbccpodcast.bsky.social this week and I’m excited to hear the intro to the episode they come up with. @mouthdork.bsky.social and @sidewalksiren.bsky.social always do an amazing job but Robert Redford’s my guy and I’m sure they’ll have wonderful, insightful things to say in the lead in.

If you'd like to hear me talk about my projects for an hour (including FLIP, ORION, and more) check out this week's Off Panel! Thanks so much, @davidharper.bsky.social!

Man, Robert Redford is a huge loss. I had a stretch where all my movie watching was Robert Redford or Paul Newman movies (or Robert Redford AND Paul Newman movies), and there have been few finer actors. From The Sting and Butch Cassidy to Sneakers and even The Winter Soldier, he brought the heat.

More tomorrow, but now might be a very good time to consider subscribing to What’s Alan Watching? alansepinwall.ghost.io

Alan Sepinwall is the 🐐 and any shift in direction that necessitates this movie is batshit crazy and sure to fail.

I'm sorry this is genuinely insane. How do you remotely justify firing the single-best person at a job?

This week on Off Panel, cartoonist Ngozi Ukazu @ngoziu.com returns to the podcast to talk about her upcoming graphic novel FLIP, the even more upcoming graphic novel ORION, post-Check, Please! living, growing as a cartoonist, and a whole lot more.

To give you frame of reference for how long my work on SKTCHD can take, I started developing this Wednesday's feature FIVE MONTHS AGO. Which is crazy! Part of that was life things coming up, but still!

FLIP is one of my favorite comics of the year, and I had a delightful time talking with @ngoziu.com on Off Panel about that graphic novel, book tours, body swaps, Jack Kirby, musical comps for certain New Gods, knowing who you are, and a whole lot more. This is a fun one, folks. Listen up!

Dear lord, Alien: Earth was an absolutely non-stop “oh no” fest this week.
