Wanted to take a nap while everyone else is napping and I looked over at my to-read pile. Ended up completely blowing through THE WEIGHT by Melissa Mendes. Absolutely astonishing work.

Finally finished THE GLASS HOTEL while Bluey was playing this morning. Immediately started to look up all the SEA OF TRANQUILITY connections, which I read awhile ago. Quite an amazing feat of world building, time travel, and alt dimensions (STATION ELEVEN is considered part of the series).

No one told me when I became a father that I’d have to watch CARS this much.

Fantastic all-ages series.

Something I say to myself way too often in September: fucking Cubs.

Finally watching Miami Blues. A film whose ridiculous box art I admired in many Blockbusters but I never pulled the trigger on because I thought it would be bad. Why? Good VHS box art usually meant it was compensating for a bad film. And it turned out to be a cult classic.

There is nothing more precious to me than my son grabbing two of my fingers every morning as we walk into school, because his hands aren’t yet big enough to embrace my hand. He needs that bit of comfort as he transitions from Home to Strangers. And so do I. He knows it, too.

Getting bombarded by sports apps that the Cubs clinch the postseason is a bit much for a wildcard spot. Especially when they were dominating the first half of the season and the wheels fell off after the All Star break.

Every morning, my son wants me to DJ his car ride to school. For most of the summer he wanted to”punk rock Superman.” Now he wants to be introduced to rock. My mind drew a complete blank yesterday and I pulled up The Heart of Rock and Roll. He didn’t hate it, but I hated myself.

I think I’m hate watching ALIEN: EARTH now. The stupidity of everyone except for Kirsch and Morrow continues.

RE: Procreate - found my brushes. For some reason they were showing my library from the bottom (which is their old default brushes) and not from the top with all of my custom and imported brushes.

Catching up on ALIEN. The crew of the Maginot are too stupid to live. Maybe that’s the point? Like who else are they going to get to go on this mission? But holy shit they are stupid.

Well. Imma have a drink.

Fireworks going off in Omaha now. Congrats Bud.

AND NEW…

AHHH HELL YEAH BUD CRAWFORD. PRIDE OF OMAHA.

Bud walking out to a live band singing Canción del Mariachi and carrying a guitar case to the ring is such a flex I love it.

If Bud Crawford wins tonight, coupled with Nebraska dominating another football team for the third week, this may be the closest Omaha gets to a Philly level of celebration.

Hell yes LFG @rustbeltreview.bsky.social

Turned off the NE game, went for a walk, came back and turned on the Cubs to see Moises hit his first HR right to Rizzo, who is sitting in the bleachers. It took a second for my brain to catch up. Rizzo bumbled the catch and you could see him mouth “that’s why I’m retired!” I will forever love him.

Read through this whole thread for good riso tips. Sean is a brilliant cartoonist and knows printing techniques inside and out.

Watching the season finale of FOUNDATION.

This seems silly based on (gestures to the world) but I started a brand new Elden Ring playthrough just to be able to jump in and help out fellow dads when ER drops on Switch 2. Strength Boi who just got the Tree Sentinel set after dealing with THAT ONE bullshit hero’s grave. If you know you know.

Dorkiest addition to the watch collection. It’s pretty sweet but also I don’t want to tell anyone about it.

It's the world's most popular and coolest CTCG: MOURN THE GAME 002.

Bullett, back, baebae!

Bears successfully snatched defeat from the jaws of victory yet again.

Your dumb comics (no matter how dumb) can help someone through a difficult time. I got a clear and moving reminder of that in Portland from a reader I met outside of the context of the con. It's that kind of town. Don't give up. Keep making your dumb comics!

This doesn’t seem like how you win football games.

Time for the slew of text messages from my Chicago born and bred father complaining about [INSERT CHICAGO TEAM HERE] in calm, short sentences. Like he’s so mad that he inadvertently turns into Hemingway.

Well I don’t see Nebraska losing so I’m starting up this little movie everyone keeps talking about that I’ve been meaning to watch for years.

Slept for 4 hours, got up at 6am, wrote the next issue of SEE YOU IN HELL, shot a YouTube video, cleaned the office, went to a visitation (happy trails, Ron, RIP), hung out with the kiddo, felt bad knowing I’ll never be as good a dad as Bandit in BLUEY, and now watching football. It was a Saturday.

NEW WORK: From longtime amigo Ian Richardson, 666 COMICS with front & back cover art by yours truly; contact Ian at [email protected] to purchase (instagram@ianrichardsonart too). Ian also sent me a copy of the other issue of 666, and his lovely HAIKU HORROR minis. Recommended!

Great read. I love hand lettering my own work, but I always letter digitally doing work for hire, or when I’m collaborating with a team. But hand lettering is zen if you find an opportunity to do it.

Sometimes YouTube leads me into a G-Shock channel and I guess I have some G-Shocks coming oh no

Maybe it’s because I was off Twitter (and most social media) for 10+ years but I just don’t have the energy to rage all day.

It’s hard to choose a favorite here.

Me recovering from the stomach flu seeing two emails requesting I fix something on, you know, Labor Day.

Having kind of a crummy morning so decided not to work for a change and watch a flick from my “ah crap these are leaving” Criterion list. Today is BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK and it is CinemaScope gorgeous from the jump.
