Day 2 of Twin Cities Con starts soon.

Resharing this again. Other ways to support me in the linked posts (Patreon, KoFi, stores, Beck's stuff, etc). Honestly, it's really stressful. This thing is looking good, but timing is still being sorted. We're out of this apartment 11/30. We don't have a new place yet, so...

Had to check out of the con a little early today. A massive headache was brewing and I had a half hour of driving to do. But tomorrow I return to Twin Cities Con, filled with ibuprofen and coffee!

Getting weird here at Twin Cities Con.

Just a few hours away from Twin Cities Con. I look forward to seeing the folks surprised to see me there.

Here's how to turn off Bluesky's censorship settings, so you can see posts by people you follow, even if Bluesky thinks they're rude. You can customize the controls on quite a bit more than the Rude label, even.

Stop looking at me, swan

Yessssss. #LunchtimeAtVictors1959

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Battle Nexus’ #1 feels both nostalgic and new @idwpublishing.com #TMNT #comicbooks #comicsky Out December 24th, read @davidbrooke.bsky.social's advance review:

I’d love to write something with the Muppets.

As I set to brave the trip down to Minneapolis once more, I'll spend the time dreaming up a new pitch. Editors beware.

In honor of me tabling at a con this weekend, here's a Christmas comic strip I drew last year.

AI? Let it die. Let ‘em cry. Something else that rhymes.

Oy.

Out of all the themes written by Danny Elfman, the one that pops into my head most often is… …the overture from Back to School. I have no idea why.

I’m gonna get a lot of grammar chuckles out of Her headlines. (“Her upset her former boss.”) Which is not meant to diminish a remarkable campaign; she jumped in late and still pulled out the win.

Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

Remake “Tucker’s Witch,” you cowards.

That was an incredible series of election results. Even discounting the big ones.

There’s no voting for me today, no measures or candidates in this county. Good luck out there, the rest of you.

Looks like I made a mistake sleeping through the Vikings game today.

As far as the World Series goes, I don’t have a horse in the race. I am delighted, however, that it’s going to 7 games.

And now, my Halloween plans:

The Last Comic Shop's Countdown to #Halloween Treat: Here's our past interview with writer @erikburnham.bsky.social about his time working on the Ghostbusters comic book! Listen to the full interview here: www.lastcomicshoppodcast.com/e/ghostbuste...

I, too, will be at TCC next week! I had planned to print up something new for the show but deadlines got away from me. Whoops.

Ol’ Labubu Torres, they called him

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The most accurate post I’ve seen today.

Got to stream The Shark Is Broken last night. Fun bit of theater I would’ve never been able to see otherwise, so that’s one point for the internet.

Had the immense pleasure of interviewing @erikburnham.bsky.social and @smyercomics.bsky.social at #NYCC to talk all things #TMNT Saturday Morning Adventures!

TMNT creators Sarah Myer and Erik Burnham talk ‘Saturday Morning Adventures’ and tease ‘Battle Nexus’

Preview @idwpublishing.com's TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures Vol. 2 #30 by @erikburnham.bsky.social, @smyercomics.bsky.social, Luis Antonio Delgado & @eduke.bsky.social ~ covers by Myer, @rikdraws.com & @acorviart.bsky.social #NCBD #TMNT #IDWPublishing comicsbodega.com/preview-tmnt...

Final verdict on Purple Rain: The Musical… This was the first preview, and by definition the worst version an audience will see. I had a BLAST. Once or twice it lapsed from staged musical to concert. The crowd was on its feet singing along to the curtain call (I Would Die 4 U) Magical evening.

At the first preview to Purple Rain. Let’s see how this goes.

Go see them!

This coming up as regularly as it has suggests maybe, just maybe, this was the legalization we should’ve backtracked on.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years. His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds. A massive loss 💔

ABSOLUTE BATMAN #absolutebatman #dracula #belalugosi #vampire

RIP to Christopher Mills — an old-school bona fide indie comics creator who did it for the love of the medium, which is the only reason to do it in the first place. He was the kind of guy who makes artist alleys worth walking, and he'll be missed.

I only got to see a handful of the people I wanted to say hello to at NYCC. Well, nertz.

🎨🐢 @andrew-isidoro.bsky.social sat down with Sarah Meyer & @erikburnham.bsky.social at #NYCC2025 to dive into #TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures: how they channel the ‘80s cartoon, bring in wild crossovers, and chart the path toward Battle Nexus. @idwpublishing.com #comicsky #NYCC Full interview:
