ICYMI, last week I created a 3 page comic for the online humor blog, @thecoliseum.bsky.social: whenfallsthecoliseum.com/2025/09/09/i... #comics #webcomics #artskies

We just posted "Other controversial statements that can get you fired in 2025" whenfallsthecoliseum.com/2025/09/15/o...

We started in 1999. whenfallsthecoliseum.com

I posted a silly one this week that readers and writers might enjoy, especially if they get the references. "The easiest and/or hardest jobs in fictional lands." 14 entries in total, first 3 shown in screenshot. whenfallsthecoliseum.com/2025/09/08/t...

Chris Mattarazzo has a new post: "The fakery of modern music: what you deserve to know" whenfallsthecoliseum.com/2025/09/11/t...

My multi-writer blog When Falls the Coliseum has added a cartoonist. You can see Alex Hoffman's first comic "I Will Not Eat It RFK!" at the link. It's like Green Eggs and Ham but much worse. whenfallsthecoliseum.com/2025/09/09/i...

We are pleased to present the first comic from our contributor @alexthoffman.bsky.social "I Will Not Eat It RFK!" whenfallsthecoliseum.com/2025/09/09/i...

Discovered that a smart, well-read friend knew 11 of the 14 references and another smart (but not a big reader) one knew 5. The jokes work better if you get the references I guess. How many did you get without having to look it up?

Some "jokes" about 1984, Dune, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Marvel, Lord of the Rings, Wizard of Oz, Hunger Games, Ursula K. Le Guin, C.S. Lewis, Gulliver's Travels... "The easiest and/or hardest jobs in fictional lands" whenfallsthecoliseum.com/2025/09/08/t... #academicsky #fiction #humor #writing

New at When Falls the Coliseum: Alternative names for Trump’s “Department of War” whenfallsthecoliseum.com/2025/09/05/a...

A week ago, some guy named Aaron Lewis was in the news because it took him 50 years to realize Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” wasn't jingoism. whenfallsthecoliseum.com/2025/09/03/o...

Today, I registered two new authors for the multi-writer blog When Falls the Coliseum. So I have that going for me. Anyone else interested can check out the submissions page. whenfallsthecoliseum.com

Sadly, it's obvious we chose the right graphic for posts about immigration.

We just posted a new humor piece: "If Starbucks made literature happily ever after," featuring Kafka, Melville, Shakespeare, Kate Chopin, Samuel Beckett, and everyone's favorite coffee brand. whenfallsthecoliseum.com/2025/08/25/i...

We just joined Bluesky and redesigned our website. We're a multi-writer blog around since 1999 but, after a long fallow period, are starting over/relaunching with a new look and new contributors (assuming any writers or artists are interested—if that's you, please visit whenfallsthecoliseum.com)
