Oh my gosh. Someone thinks Mystik U ought to be a movie?!? movieweb.com/dcu-james-gu...

You are 15 and reading a book that will shape your view of good and evil. Is it Dune or LOTR?

You’re on a first date, and you spot a red flag title on their bookshelf. What is it?

The super special shroomtastic variant cover is also by @mauricet34.bsky.social …inspired by Peter Max (sex scene also inspired by Alan Moore’s transcendent Swamp Thing sex scene)

images.app.goo.gl/YX77TfuT9ix5... Talking with Sean O’Connor of MACABREDAILY.COM@bgpcpodcast and @claymcleod.bsky.social about made for TV horror but we ran out of time and I never got to talk about the most bonkers moment of Gargoyles…

Is it a problem that Mrs Muir has a sexy ghost of a sea captain forced proximity romance when her own husband is also presumably a ghost?

“Edith Head gives good wardrobe.” Sam Staggs, reporting on old Hollywood graffiti celebrating the legendary costume designer

Who's planning to embrace some late-empire Caligulan decadence this weekend? #FridayFeeling

I am battling my weather related fears that I will wind up in a cave with McCoy and Neanderspock and taking the train into NYC!

I was busily giving myself a pedi while watching a celebrity hairstylist inflict jagged mullets on women of all ages when I realized I had given my right big toe a jagged mullet.

“Throw up into your typewriter every morning. Clean up every noon.” Raymond Chandler. Clearly, the reason I don’t write enough is because I need an actual typewriter.

Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix is reminding me of how much I yearned to be a witch in 1974

I know I’m excited…

From the archives: remember when the Chupacabra was a fun, scaly, alien-looking beast? Why is it a mangy dog now?! @skepticalinquirer.bsky.social's Ben Radford takes a look, through the lens of @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social's "Project: Cryptid." @alisakwitney.bsky.social @stephenhupp.bsky.social

Heidelberg Holiday is peak Christmas Rom Com. Not only is there no sex, but also no conflict aside from parcel delivery issues.

Hot Frosty hot take: Is it okay for a widow to initiate a relationship with a supernatural being that is essentially a newborn?

Our long national nightmare is…aaaaaggggh! Donald Trump is the Freddy Krueger of politics, to use a cultural reference he can remember.

So much fun to talk time travel, Manhattan and the brief epoch of Love drugstores, which were everywhere and then gone like the Auroch.

Welp, started to watch Netflix’s Woman of the Hour about The Dating Game and a serial killer. Burst into tears and now onto Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein.

If Jill Biden were a little more Melania Trump about her husband’s political fate, I would be more optimistic about November.

For fans of @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social's G.I.L.T., @alisakwitney.bsky.social and Mauricet have a new story in this week's issue of CREEPSHOW from Skybound and I got to ask them some questions for Comicon: comicon.com/2023/12/18/t...

Sunday! Hope to see some of you #comics fans at JewCE in Manhattan — come celebrate Jewish comic books & Jews in comics, whether or not you're part of the Tribe. I'm on a panel at 4pm, and selling / promoting my work all day.

For the record, I’ve been a left-leaning Zionist who believes in a two-state solution since 1980. Have family in Israel, lived in Israel and and am still in shock over the attacks…but still worry for the innocents in Gaza.

Hi folks. Please don’t be jerks to birds, bees, butterflies, etc, by putting out this terrible “spider webbing” this month. It kills animals. It’s a stupid decoration. Please don’t. 🌱🦜 (See also: Christmas garland.)

Loved the first night. Most women were channeling sweet Golden Girls Rose or lusty Blanche, but there was one clear Dorothy (the cursing meditator) and one Sophia (asleep on the couch). More Bea Arthur energy, please!

“…here was a man occupying that hazy ground somewhere between an oak tree and the captain of a pirate ship.” The Secret Hours, Mick Herron proving he could write romance if he wanted.

How about them horror apples? Excited for the true start of autumn pleasures…on monday @carolgoodman.bsky.social and I going to an @chuckwendig.bsky.social book event sponsored by @oblongbooks.bsky.social

It is with great sadness that I put away the summeriest of the summer wardrobe. For the season of gauzy shmattas is done.

A very fun set of interviews about horror, comics, and comedy with myself, @manruss.bsky.social, @bryceingman.bsky.social, @alisakwitney.bsky.social, and many more over at Cemetery Dance:

Attachment distress. Desire non-concordance. Brakes and accelerators. I want to read a romance written by someone who has read #ComeAsYouAre by Emily Nagoski. “Feel how saturated you are. You desire me.” “Nope. I’m experiencing desire non-concordance.”

"You're overreacting," they said. "If you want an abortion you can just travel to another state," they said...

There are Mrs. Roper themed parties all over this nation. I am not alone.

Anyone know why the owl’s eyes are pixilated in Reservation Dogs?

Greta Gerwig sees me—the Indigo Girls’ “Closer to Fine” is definitely on my “road trip to me” soundtrack. So is “Diamonds and Rust” by Joan Baez. What’s on yours, Barbiephiles?

In Quebec for a few days, and just got an ad from the Kativik School Board in Nunavik. They need teachers and I am totally having a Northern Exposure fantasy…

Do you think Mattel will come out with Weird Barbie, Depressed Barbie and Irrepressible Thoughts of Death Barbie?

@charlottestein.bsky.social help me out: Who is the real love interest for mortician girl (since the Bellamy is jealous of her, ahem, work?) a) A grieving grandson b) a rival mortician c) hot zombie guy

Let your dog bite the UPS guy No buses so old ladies stay in at night Drive by with Old Dixie in your truck Rantin' bout woke Barbie and furin cleavage sites We got a co op board of pregnant lawyers We got Kafkaesque procedures You cross that line, it won’t take long Try that on the Upper West Side

It's Dick Giordano's birthday: a brilliant editor, one of the best inkers to ever hold a brush, and a terrific illustrator in his own right. One of the first series I ever landed was an Aquaman feature in Adventure Comics with Dick providing the art. And wonderful art it was!

I love how the devil is an interdisciplinary scholar

Dead Man’s fingers wave at you from the ruins of Camp Woodland, a New Deal summercamp set up by FDR in the Catskills.

What’s all this fuss about labeling bathrooms? I say do what #EmilyLitella would do—have one restroom for folks going pee-pee and another for poopers.

If Basket Case (1982) were a musical, what would the brothers’ “I want” songs be?
