All the talk about the GOP, and the current occupant, saying ‘let’s see those files released’- perturbs me greatly. Because it means we’re not really going to see THOSE files. Justice seems so far away…

It’s totally deniable. Id never use it and won’t ever use it . See, AI denied. So easy. boundingintocomics.com/comic-books/...

It would be the most worthless, costly minting yet. Utterly grotesque.

Really enjoyed PREDATOR: BADLANDS. Love a good yarn about a tough, smart blonde and her big monster pal, navigating a deadly terrain infested with deadly creatures.

November off to such a great start …

Fall Continues! NOCTURNALS: The Sinister Path issue 2 -and @oeming.bsky.social variant!- now available, with #3 hitting 11/19, with gorgeous variant by the legendary #bretblevins from @darkhorse.com & your #LCS

So actor Simu Liu just expressed how he sees the kids who grew up reading comics, that we were, in fact, “the misfits and the weirdos and the underdogs that grew up reading comic books”. And, apparently we “didn’t fit in.” Anyone else feel like he has no idea what he’s talking about?

Don’t care who wants to demolish part of the White House - it’s a ridiculous, disrespectful, grostesque act, especially when it doesn’t benefit the public one iota. $250+ million??? And don’t tell me it’s privately funded … bullshit. Even if it were , it would come with strings.

Who knew VEEP and Idiocracy were as accurate as 1984?

Once the Orange Regime is out (sooner than MAGA thinks) that ballroom monstrosity can be torn down. The East Wing, standing since 1902, can be rebuilt -White House back to its former respected and honored state, all gold bling removed, portraits restored. And we’ll get the Trumps to pay for it.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Pathetic. Nice try, you AI pink slime hacks .

Give this misanthropic baby man nothing, ever. Imagine horning in on Machado’s efforts! He’s so obsessed with Obama, it’s pathetic.

How you know you’re doing it right:

Trying to remember any of the names of all those horror and ninja films in the 80’s where the killer would slice and dice victims with those “razor sharp” escalator blades of death?

Great news for aggressive squirrels who may or may not be attacking Marin County residents who’ve been feeding them: though the rodents are born here in the States, they do not yet have the right to vote, so Trump not likely to seek their extermination.

For starters...

“President Biden is right. Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech. It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion. That's why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.” - Brendan Carr, 2022

🎃NOCTURNALS:Halloween Noir is a beautiful new 9x12”, 152-page art book, covering 31+ years of my work on Nocturnals. It’s crammed with brand-new and archival art, insights and process bit.ly/nocturnals31 Available to reserve now- ships to backers late Oct/Nov, with a Comics Retailer tier as well!

Fascists love AI. With it, you control independent thought and creativity of intellect. It puts me in mind of 1984: there were no more books, art, poetry , cinema, storytelling. The Proles read pornography and listened to songs written by machines. Orwell tried so hard to warn us.

In honor of #batmanday, and the onset of Fall, I’m sharing art from “ Six Fingers”, my 2015 spooky Batman yarn from Legends of the Dark Knight 85-88 ( digital series). DC has seen fit to never collect in a print edition but I’m always hopeful : ) it was a story percolating in my brain for a decade.

As I told Jimmy Kimmel, when is it enough?

Kind of a big day for this funnybook maker - I’m probably nervous enough to not want to run into comic shops today and see the reactions - so I’ll stay home, work in the studio and see what comes back - but very excited to see the book out !

NOCTURNALS: The Sinister Path miniseries from @darkhorse.com hits shops today! Don’t forget to pick up yours up and kickoff Halloweentide a little early! Check out the wicked variant cover edition, featuring the work of Sean Gordon Murphy !

I’ll pass, thanks. The film stands as it is, and it’s a masterpiece of human creativity. we don’t need any program or its builders to mess with that. It’s not lost footage they’re promising, - it’s made- up slop. AI is the pink slime of big tech.

Comics creators on both sides of politics often walk a line. Livelihood depends on readership. It’s a brave creator who takes a public stance & risks alienating readers. Below, an example of a controversial stance. Not everybody agreed with this back then. We’ve since cleared that up. Or have we?

On Wednesday, Sept 10- my first comic book miniseries in years hits shops from @darkhorse.com - NOCTURNALS: The Sinister Path #1 has two cover variants - I’ll be doing a little signing tour this Fall starting 9/12!

SNEAK PREVIEW on Comics Beat!

While two world class psychopaths attempt to carve up Ukraine for themselves, does anyone think either one of them ever does anything that isn’t just exactly for themselves?

It’s important, it’s real and we can repair - but we have to be aware

Thrilled to be working with @darkhorse.com - and a gorgeous variant cover from @oeming.bsky.social - to bring the #nocturnals back into the realm of funnybooks- reserve your 4 issues of Nocturnals:The Sinister Path from your #lcs #nocturnals31 #halloweeniversary

From 2019- let’s not forget : accuser was Intimidated, threatened. She dropped , dismissed - but this is far from buried. 74 million people turned their backs on his victims at the polls. He’s scum, the rest of us knew. Anyone who joined in with JE -or Trump- deserves to go down in flames.

Zelenskyy continues to impress me as a model leader on a global scale. He handled himself incredibly well during that notorious ambush on the WH. He kept his cool and showed the world how a President is supposed to behave. If anyone has earned multiple terms of office it’s him.

Either his crippling insecurity is showing again, or perhaps a fifth grader accused him of not knowing the definition of the word “festooned”

Now and Forever, Donald, This is you :

Happy Birthday to Bob Larkin ! ( from Epic Illustrated # 1, 1980)

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

2004Trump to CNN: “In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat. It just seems the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans…But if you go back…we've had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans." Praising Clinton here.

From 2015: contributions by Trump (changed parties five x since 1989) cited his issues with people who contributed to Democrats ( like Elon and Elon’s pick to run NASA)

No more shall tyrants here With haughty steps appear, And soldier bands; No more shall tyrants tread -Samuel Francis Smith 1831

“Press on for the left behind,” Press on for the rule of law. Press on for the American way of life. Press on for democracy. We’re going to press on until victory is won.” - Hakeem Jeffries ————- “The Horsemen are drawing nearer…They've come to take your life…choose your fate and die” - Metallica

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken legislature? Our corrupt SCOTUS? Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

They practically bragged about it

“Appeals to reason, sanity and scientific progress mean nothing to someone with a fanatical grudge against existence." -JG Ballard

“It’s only very rich people who can afford to tip small, and live with themselves.” - Orson Welles (notorious big tipper & filmmaker)
