Slightly diminish a band Shonen Butter Knife

Hey B’Sky! Been awhile ‘cus I’m busy doing dumb stuff for fun and limited profit. I am stupidly proud of the alliterative clues I came up with for my Grossword Puzzle! To be featured in the new issue of @lousyhuman.bsky.social lampooning The New Yorker! Silly Eustace Tilly cover on deck next!

Drop a fight scene you loved - This probably counts.

I’m waiting on the review from TCJ - That Cat Joe @evandorkin.bsky.social

HOT NEW FILM 'ZINE ALERT: I am super jazzed to be an official US distributor for FIREBALL ON THE HIGHWAY: A Truck Rascals 'zine. Copies are on sale now at theatomicelbow.bigcartel.com/product/fire...

Howdy howdy, Void. Just sayin’ hello with my face. Carry on collecting those screams - yer doin’ great.

Come for the tits, stay for the hip thrusts.

What an incredible story youtube.com/watch?v=cqFr...

Next issue of Esteem Toilet is gonna have a lot more explicit stuff in it and I don’t think IG is gonna like it. Trying to decide if here is a good place for the inked up lewds and nudes, or if I should go to Patreon. #foodforthoughtsky

I unexpectedly read that like Kendrick said it 😅

The new @horrorhound.bsky.social has a cover story on PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE by @jessicafangirl.bsky.social , and its centerfold pullout is a repro of the film’s one-sheet by the great Richard Corben. Grab it!

Random college movie theater memory: The Ring I’m easily startled, so jump-scares get me every damn time. Dorm friends had downloaded the free screensaver from the official website for The Ring and had been using it to surprise me for months. 1/

Lisa’s polishing her toe beans in preparation for tonight’s podcast! I’ll probably be drawing, so she’s on keyboard duty in the group chat. No promises that she’ll keep it civil, @stevieville.bsky.social - this lil’ lady is a real wild card.

In retrospect, the dumbest thing I’ve said in the last week was in reference to the safety of my parked car, which happened to be ridiculously full of snacks: “As long as there’s no bears in Chicago, I’m not worried about a break-in.”

Packing and cleaning and still finishing title lettering and getting new (used) tires and scanning every single last thing for the assembly I have conscripted someone else to do while I drive for 12 hours tomorrow. Yipes! (The IV drip of coffee started at 4am because sleep wasn’t happening anyways)

Cover inks are done! I’ll be debuting Tales from the Esteem Toilet #1 at @flukeathens.bsky.social on Saturday! We’re still arranging her 14 pages of cartoonish guts, but you can pre-order a copy on my website (link in bio) and help fund my trip to GA!

Having a birdy day. Here’s some art.

Turns out that Gramma Shirlee’s old readers help with close-up detail work! Yay for sentimental serendipity!

😏

New vocabulary just dropped! Gruenebuffoonery: getting high and aimlessly horny instead of drawing comics (like she fucking should be!) #greensky #sowingtheoats #smokingthegrass #badexecutivefunction #nicerack

Guillotine time! (Does not help convince me that phone calls do squat in the long run)

Yo! I’m in a starter pack! 🤩 Check out my new shop while yer here! kakeywinks.bigcartel.com

Cartoonist-friends! Interested in learning about medieval studies and meeting academics for potential collaborations? Apply to join us in Chicago from 5-6 June 2025 for a crossover workshop at the Newberry Library entitled “Cartooning the Medieval”!! www.newberry.org/calendar/car...

Cobbled together an impromptu birthday gift from an old embroidery, a vintage button from a sweater dress, a piece of my Moist Owlette costume, hot glue, and a pin back. Meg’s not on here, so I can get my show-off dopamine fix without spoiling the surprise. #craftsky

Moving some stuff around this morning and I found my copy of Jack Davis' high school yearbook.

1930s Indonesian batik fabric with design inspired by Flash Gordon 🚀

HOW PROJECT 2025 IMPACTS COMICS E.B. Hutchins walks us through steps comic creators can take to protect and self advocate for our stories, and what the future looks like for everyone working in comics.

Welp, looks like I’ll be having a Peoria Plague Purim because I’m never calling these cookies anything else ever again. #zombiezaidy

Friends in Illinois, please call @durbin.senate.gov in particular to tell him NOT to give Trump more power to hurt us all by repealing Section 230. Trump will only use this power to hurt vulnerable people and left-leaning groups. This is a sucker's game. NO. Durbin's number is (202) 224-2152.

Nostalgia dump: Record Service gems I found while looking for Figaro’s. I really miss the old advertising logos from this town.

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money: My dad only really shopped at the classical music store on campus, but Johnny Dubs will always be somewhere in my memory. Bonus logo of Figaro’s.

Okay, so if you donate $10 or more to @translifeline.bsky.social in the next 24 hours and show me the receipt, I will send you a free copy of my new 'zine. WHAT A DEAL! (offer ends at 11:07 am eastern on March 7, 2025)

Ooooof oof. This is killin’ me with the James Bond theme-ish-ness. Stashing for easy replay.

This! If you can switch from Whole Foods to a different grocery store and buy your books from bookshop.org instead of Amazon, that’s still a big step even if you feel tied to Amazon for other items. If everyone divested 30% that’s more than if a few people divest 100%.

11/1: First day without a decade-long albatross-shaped relationship (and resulting financial rope burns on neck) to hold me back from major life goals 11/14 Trip off curb, break the FUCK outta my foot. Immediately lose job (cut early for season) and any sense of physical independence. Continued ⬇️

Movie I’ve watched more than six times, gif only. (Hard to find one for this!!!)

By Basil Wolverton.

THE SPIRIT: THE CORPSE-MAKERS: written, drawn, colored, AND lettered by me. I did it for the centennial celebration of Will Eisner in 2017 but somehow not many people knows about it. A (cheap priced) hardcover is available from Dynamite Comics collecting the full arc.

What’s the coolest shot in movies? Chosen for sentimental reasons, available upon request. #filmsky

Alright, it's finally time. This is something I've had in the pipeline for _years_ but was shying away from due to the sheer amount of research and notes necessary. But with the current state of affairs in the world, this is the moment Folks, it's time we talk about Mark Gruenwald

Did I really just notice this?! That’ll earn me several point deductions from multiple nerd categories. @evandorkin.bsky.social

Felt like drawing superheroes for some reason, worked on commissions like I needed to. I don't love doing commissions. I like being finished with them, though, and always need the $, and you have to do 'em to be finished with 'em. I once drew Milk & Cheese as Batman & Nightwing. Alt text for more.

When cartoonists find smokin’ buddies… #highbert #highernie
