Should we at all surprised they scheduled the rapture on Rosh Hashana? Like, check a calendar, people. Way to be inclusive. Damn.

This may seem wild but it was in fact inevitable. Conspiratorial people animated by grievance and grift invariably land on one of the oldest and most lucrative conspiratorial grifts of all. You can set your clock by it.

By the way if you haven’t seen it, watch the Thing Rosh Hashana episode of Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. So good—though a missed opportunity to not have Swarm be the villain. Shana Tova!

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Welp. Time to stock up on Tylenol, I guess?

Two totally different writing muscles that CAN influence each other, but are not the same. Writing a good comic script is about teeing up your artist to tell a story through their art. With prose, you have to relay every sensory experience with words.

Seeing the governor of Illinois quoting Andor wasn't on my bingo card.

My kid has been watching the Willy Wonka movie round the clock for no apparent reason and it keeps throwing me off for reasons only known to @brendandeneen.bsky.social

Oh! And good luck tonight @detroitlions.bsky.social ! I’ll be praying for us all!

Kimmel’s back, new Star Wars trailer, and I just learned we’re announcing ‘Project Mantle’ next week. Not a bad way to enter 5786, folks. Have a Shana tova u’metukah, Hebros and Hebrettes. Have a wonderful Rosh Hashana and a happy and sweet new year!

Look they changed their minds because folks were canceling streaming subscriptions and threatening to cancel their parks vacations. That’s it. Free speech wasn’t a factor at all.

And what about Guillermo????

I can’t believe they scheduled a Lions game on Rosh Hashana I mean didn’t they check the Jewish calendar

What movie do you consider “perfect”?

So I did a 10pg Starjammers fan comic for a pal's portfolio and for me to scratch a writing itch. But I can't send it as a sample to editors (b/c of legal issues with sending stories with Marvel characters to Marvel editors or even pros.) (1/2)

Looking to take on side, freelance design (graphic or book design, logos, UX/UI) or writing work (fiction, not marketing / copy) I'm not looking for a new full time job—just some extra work I can do at nights or on weekends. Would appreciate leads, recommendations, opportunities. DM or reply!

Happy Rosh Hashana, y’all

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.

If you’re canceling your streaming services this week, may I recommend comic books? Here are some: www.neilkleidbooks.com

Everything is terrible except that I get to sign off now and be with family and read comics and eat chinese food and have a nice Shabbos which no one can take away from me when I make fun of the orange skull #shabbatshalom

Fuck this shit.

Had a real eye opening conversation with my LCS who is apparently having a real hard time selling X-men comics for the first time in a long while. Hope this gives the line a shot in the arm.

There are a LOT of good comics coming out this year and being announced. I'd like to be writing more of them. Editors, I'm pretty good at it, too.

Hey #PortfolioDay! I’m Neil Kleid, an Orthodox Jewish writer. I’ve written stories for Spider-Man, X-Men, Wonder Woman, other licensed characters & many original novels, comics & graphic novels. Seeking WFH/licensed writing work. See www.neilkleidbooks.com - DMs open!

I really would love some comics pals of mine to do some pin ups for this book. I have one from Jake Allen, and it’s awesome, but I would love to put a few more in the issues.

Guys all my posting is about comics and writing and tv and food and pop culture because if I spend my day posting about all my doomscrolling and all the terrible shit happening to this country I think I may lose it

Yes we are all excited about Superman but why are none of you celebrating Perry White, the soul of Metropolis, who I would write again in a hot damn second (Kickass art by @deanhaspiel.bsky.social )

“Our industry faces the most sophisticated, venomous, creeping evil in America’s history. There’s no standing above this conflict. No impartial observers. If you’re on the sidelines you’ve made a choice and must live with it.”

When I worked for Topps, Eisner invited me, my boss, some others to his townhouse for a catered dinner. We thought it was a good thing, but he proceeded to shout at us throughout for not making enough money in our soccer app. One of us asked to use the bathroom. Eisner: “take a left at the Picasso.”

....and then I edited the hell out of the novella and now i have 1000 extra words to play with. WRITING IS EDITING AND EDITING IS WRITING

Is it Eddie Berganza

Today is the birthday of artist, writer, and teacher, Joe Kubert (Sept. 18, 1926-Aug. 12, 2012).

Fuck yeah Letterman

Listen to this entire thing. More of this, please.

Go read a comic. Log off. It's okay, log off. I care about you. Log off. If you think I am writing this directly to you, I am.

This week I got colored pages for this Starjammers portfolio comic I wrote, character sketches for a new bourbon comic I wanna write, new pencilled pages for 'Project Mantle' #4, and I reached 28.5k words in the horror novella I'm writing. Gotta love momentum

More @evandorkin.bsky.social comics in more formats out in the world will heal us all!

Haaaaaaaaaave you met the First Amendment

Is it Eddie Berganza

Kids would read more American comics if they were encouraged to crumple, tear, throw them in backpacks and generally beat the hell out of them. Big advantage of manga and scholastic ogns is that they’re sturdy and no adult is telling you to delicately put them in a plastic sleeve in a cool dark box.

IYKYK, one of the most important cartoonists of his generation. Can't wait!!!!

There are plenty of other options out there than ESPN, fellow sports fans. We figured out a way to watch Detroit Lions games not covered by regional stations from here in NJ. It can be done and you don't need to invest $$$ in NFL Sunday ticket.

So, I now have all ten colored pages in hand and the lettering is about to begin. I'm having too much fun here. Someone seriously give me and Jake a Starjammers one shot or something, please.
