So... I can now talk about this. For the last year, I've had the pleasure of helping Mike McCready bring his rock opera FAREWELL TO SEASONS to comic form with @marksable.bsky.social & @sebastianpiriz.bsky.social (With a jaw-dropping cover by R. Kikuo Johnson) www.rollingstone.com

It gets unveiled tomorrow...

As some of you know, my assistant Boy Scout leader was a serial killer who murdered people I knew, so... For similar reasons... I find folks obsession with true crime shows and torture 'porn' VERY bothersome. Every time I think "You've never experienced anything like this, have you?"

The fine folks at FANBASE PRESS (Barbra Dillon) interviewed me about me and Roy Burdine contributing to the CALIFORNIA SCREAMING anthology... (Our story is titled KINGDOM COMING, and it's set in a private goth club) Check it out! fanbasepress.com/press/interv...

Congratulations to @paulchadwick.bsky.social on the return of CONCRETE. It's been too long, and the world of comics desperately needs this kind of magic. Thank you!

So. My partner suffered an accident that resulted in very significant injuries. While he is, thank christ, alright in the broadest sense, I am now an amateur RN/dog minder/kid chauffeur, so! I've restocked some prints to help keep us in pizza and pain meds. www.brianna-ashby.com/new-products

I was interviewed regarding my journey with Matt Wagner’s GRENDEL, and the mad idea I had in 1990 to put together a convention dedicated to the comic, that would assemble all of the creators for it in the middle of a college town in Idaho. Check it out - I talk about art & writing & ambition, etc.

Andy would be 60 today.

I clean up on occasion.

The year end...

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔 Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world. Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy. Now go re-sign Bo.

Great turnout in Burbank today for #NoKings very proud of my community for showing up and standing up for America and ALL the people who live here.

Civil War reenactors out there saying the protestors hate America.

I'm helping to produce an original play about the Finnish/Russian Winter War. First up is the Live Reading, which they are running a small Kickstarter for. This is a true story that is vital for the times we are in, and a little support means a lot at this critical stage.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

Over in FilmStack, there's 100 days of filmic inspiration going. @hopeforfilm.bsky.social started it, and I did day 52 today...

For the better part of a year, my dear friend @toriamos.bsky.social has been talking about this new project. It's absolutely her most ambitious project to date, so I was very proud and honored to be asked to contribute the key art for the album and tour announcement!

Got my ballot for California Prop 50... Alrighty let's fucking do this.

I've been moving my daily online time away from FB and BlueSky, over to longer form writing and interactions on Substack, where a lively indie film community is developing. This includes my monthly media consumption survey.

It does. Proven over and over. We choose to do this, to punish the sin of poverty. We pay extra for the cruelty.

Have I told you this book is great? I'm not even to chapter 10 and have gasped/sobbed aloud multiple times. Goddamn... It's really great. The last line of chapter 5? Perfection.

Offered for no reason whatsoever...

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

By the way, you can in fact run a media business where people give you money for goods and services. 56k+ people give The Onion ~$100 and we give them a year of newspapers. This business didn’t exist last year in this way. People will pay for good shit. Now’s the time to break glass and go for it.

“The most valuable thing to me in terms of my mental health is to read a poem or see a painting or listen to music which speaks to me, which breaks me open for a moment, and where I feel an experience honestly & delicately portrayed. That’s another reason AI can never create anything artistically.”

I went to art school. Learned to be a painter. All that. I don't do art much now, because of many reasons, but chief amongst them is when someone hires me to do a piece of art or illustration, I am completely neurotic in the space between when it is complete & when the client accepts it.

Lovely article in BILLBOARD about the new @marcmaron.bsky.social book @boxbrown.bsky.social is doing at @z2comics.bsky.social including a exclusive preview of four pages from the book. Check it out! (Or should I say... LOCK THE GATES)

Hello again WGAW writers! Voting has begun and I would like yours! Please check out my candidate statement at elections.wga.org/2025/mike-ro... Lots of great candidates, including @reallymighty.bsky.social & Christina Walker - check everybody out and most importantly, vote! 💪 💪💪 Deadline is 9/23

I'm not a huge Oasis fan, but goddamn they put on a hell of a show. Best screen work I've ever seen.

GLASSHOUSE He'd oft declare "I'm a self made man" And that was true I suppose Since he made his way through graft and scams and cons (both long and short) He'd frequently say "I'm alone by choice" and I suppose when you beat and demean and belittle people until they leave well... that is a choice

www.kickstarter.com/projects/z2c... @marcmaron.bsky.social: LOCK THE GATE!!

and he posts his current read by @danielkraus.com because he knows this is something people do on the Internet. and beside that, this book is a hell of a ride.

Can’t be said enough 🧐

Got my 25-26 COVID booster at CVS today in Burbank. Highly recommend. If you are making the appointment online, here's a list of criteria to help you... (In person they will not ask)

The Kickstarter for @z2comics.bsky.social's Marc Maron book by @boxbrown.bsky.social is live & damn... Under 2 hours & we are at 900% funded & the 'big' tiers are still available (including having your own WTF episode!) I cannot wait for you to see this book. Box is doing some next-level work, here!

Revisiting albums of a certain era for a certain project and I must say... I think Kings of the Wild Frontier is Adam's best album. Wasn't my favorite when I was younger, but now? Banger. Totally.

Drop an old person you're going to turn into in the future

Today's score... Hollywood Poster and Book Co. In Burbank is having a sale of film posters from the collection of Alan Ladd Jr (best known as the executive who made sure we got Star Wars). This was what I bought for us...

Truth. We've made our appointments at CVS in Burbank. Make yours While you can.

Today's track...
