The Hague is too good. Need a Hague 2.0.

This is what they said about him then. This is what they say about us now. This is who they always have been.

A tease for Thursday's new episode...

I encourage you to think of abolishing ICE not as an end in itself, but as a good start.

Can't get over this. The first whistle blows before he's even got his door open. Within 10 seconds they are swarmed, but the crowd just keeps growing the entire time. The whole city is physically rejecting these assholes. Never seen anything like it.

2 slots left !!!

Earlier this week I found out my friend John Staton had passed away. I hadn't talked to him in years unfortunately but he was a big part of a foundational part of my life. Here's what I wrote over on FB with 2 pics from the June 2013 signing of his EMPOWERED oneshot with @adamwarren.bsky.social.

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

We're back, baby! I'm joined by Zach Wilkerson, 1/3rd of the DC3Cast, to give you all discussion about AND an audio commentary for the JLU episode "For The Man Who Has Everything".

you are all so good at drawing!!

Happy New Year everybody! We're back from a longer-than-intended hiatus. That X-episode is still in the works but it won't be the episode dropping in Thursday. THAT bad boy has a little something to do with this...

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

A little teaser for tomorrow's episode....

NEW EPISODE! I got a chance to chat with cartoonist Stan Sakai at Baltimore Comicon this year about his career and the samurai rabbit at the center of it (and a little bit about the OTHER rabbit too!)

New Episode! Cartoonists @zoethorogood.bsky.social, Jeff Smith, @mouseguard.bsky.social, and Stan Sakai talk at Baltimore Comicon about the tools they use in bringing their Eisner-certified comic book goodness to the page. (Yep - this is the panel @cbccpodcast.bsky.social was at!)

Decided to update the header for a bit. Not because we're any less riding out the Apocalypse at the moment, but because...well, if you had a picture with Stan Sakai, I think you'd rather look at it too for a bit...

Here's a hint which panel from Baltimore Comicon is tomorrow's episode (pic courtesy of CBCC Brad)...

And Baltimore Day 3 is done as well! Fantastic weekend; thanks to everybody who came out to the panels and helped make them really special. Looking forward to recovering and getting this stuff show-ready ASAP!

“I want people to know that what’s happening in Portland – the creativity, the irreverence, the refusal to be intimidated – that’s replicable,” she says. “Every city has artists. Every community has weirdos.“

Here’s a great article about this year’s Ignatz Awards:

Baltimore Day 2 is now in the can as well! Both panels went great. Audio has been confirmed recorded for the TOOLS panel (always a happy moment!). The SHOPPING one wasn't really episode conducive, but the film is great and we're looking to have Wes on the show to chat about it soon!

Did a bunch of comic book yakking this weekend but my boo repped our family unit at the Baltimore/Penn Station NO KINGS protest, so I feel good about that!

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list

Baltimore Day 1 is in the can! Stan Sakai is an absolute gem and our panel audio came out great! Look for it on the feed soon!

On brand. Definitely on brand

With Rush going back on the road in 2026, start reconnecting with your fandom with part 1 of my chat with @rushcon.bsky.social's Creative Director Jillian Maryonovich!

Mali has announced that US nationals visiting the West African country will be required to post a bond of up to $10,000 (£7,500) for business and tourist visas, in response to a similar requirement the Trump administration has imposed on its citizens. www.bbc.com/news/article...

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK YYYEEESSSSSSSS

Viva la Pomplamoose!

Want to follow the saga of @samuelteer.bsky.social & @marjulia.bsky.social's Printz-Award-winning BROWNSTONE from the beginning? Start here!

CREATORS! This is for you.

🪧 Texans are taking aim at their own brands. After Gov. Greg Abbott sent hundreds of Texas National Guard troops to Illinois and Oregon, a new “Governor Abbott Boycott” has taken off online: bit.ly/46X7Odj

This story was reported by Taylor Brandon and Charlton CJ Davis with the Youth Media Project, with the help and guidance of mentors @trjackson.bsky.social and @nickjudin.bsky.social. Follow @youthmediaproject.bsky.social and @mississippifreepress.org.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

New episode! @samuelteer.bsky.social and I talk about the legacy of his OGN (w/ @marjulia.bsky.social) BROWNSTONE, his difficulties with publisher HarperCollins, and winning the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social's Michael L. Printz Award.

A perfect, eternally relevant sequence.

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

Philly, District PA-03. This guy is the realest of deals and deserves your support.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

We promised, and now we deliver! Our fourth episode in four weeks given you the "COPRA's Last Round" panel from HeroesCon 2025, where creator @michelfiffe.bsky.social and I send off his indie sensation series in style!

I realize why people (namely the revanchist right) are invested in portraying it as solely the work of the rotting totem at the top of the pyramid. He can't do it alone. He can barely keep standing all by himself. It's an entire movement. Call it what it is.

Little hand drawn animation and banjo theme I made. It's been a year since my brother's passing, it's hard to type stuff so l'll just let the video speak for itself. Thank you for watching. Keep going, enjoy the sandwiches.

Our next unit will be on the webcomic “Lore Olympus” by Rachel Smythe, a modern retelling of Greek myths, focusing on the relationship between Persephone and Hades. #LoreOlympus.

Cylons & Daleks, Cross-Dressing Trev & Sentinels: 13 years ago I blogged about fabulous robots & the like in comics. 13 years! I only know this because a pic from the post came up on a scan I ran. I could’ve written posts like this forever: toobusythinkingboutcomics.blogspot.com/2012/09/kill...

"Family says." There is video. They did it. "ICE agents held Leominster family's daughter outside their home so they would turn themselves over," if you care for the truth.

This is absolutely the right thing to do. Payment late? Stop working until you’re paid. “Oh but the book will miss its deadlines—“ aw that’s too bad, but if the release date is such a priority I’m sure Accounts will have no problems wiring over my money this afternoon

Some @michelfiffe.bsky.social goodness right there!
