wilbur your last ex tried to murder dawn

In "Thimble Theatre" on June 26, 1931, Popeye revealed that his strength derives from eating spinach:

ME: *points at my "World's Greatest Dad" shirt* CO-WORKER: *points at his own "World's Greatest Dad" shirt* ME: *takes a sip from my "World's Greatest Dad" mug* CO-WORKER: *sips from his own "World's Greatest Dad" mug* ME: [eyes narrow] *draws "World's Greatest Dad" sword*

MacGyver finally realized that he just might be overthinking things a bit.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

Another old post remaster, another new @donsparrow.bsky.social piece to go with it! Our post for Superman #3 (March 1987) now has way more pics and commentary. Plus: how much skin should Darkseid show? Tumblr: superman86to99.tumblr.com/post/5809172... Patreon: www.patreon.com/superman86to...

Wish I were going to TCAF like the rest of the world. Hope it’s a blast and I’ll see you all again soon.

Flew home. Cooked hamburgers. Repaired a lawnmower (???). Mowed lawn. Played baseball. Made lunches. This is adulthood.

Unpopular opinion: WWE and its ilk shouldn’t be broadcast on sports channels.

Happy moment at a bbq restaurant. My Youngest: “which one of these will taste like YOUR ribs, dad?”

Very quietly in the background I’ve completed two really long stories. I can’t wait for you to read them. They’re boring, like everything I write but it’s certainly my highest quality artwork.

People today have no idea how dangerous New York City was in the 1970s.

Superman #95 (December 1994) "DEAD AGAIN!" Part 6! Superman goes to New Genesis to check on Brainiac and this issue's little dumbass of a guest-star almost gets everyone killed. Tumblr: superman86to99.tumblr.com/post/8167200... Patreon (free post): www.patreon.com/posts/free-p...

LADY: [Beside me on the train] Omg, were you at the Met Gala last night? ME: [In my He-Man costume, with my sword] The what now?

Our old post for Action Comics #585 (Feb. 1987), the issue where Superman fights a cemetery, has been updated with a TON more commentary from me and @donsparrow.bsky.social, who drew this excellent rendition of guest-star Phantom Stranger to mark the occasion:

"Sholomon, King Sholomon."

May the 4th be with you…

I never feel more fatherly, more masculine than when i am driving a great distance, at night, with my entire family asleep in the car.

When I was a child I assumed that mimicking Lumière’s French accent meant I was speaking French. I’ve since learned better yet am once again unsure.

There was a very deliberate effort to make the cast more diverse and tackle socially important topics. As Don points out in the latest post, in this issue characters dispel rumors about HIV/AIDS, advocate for refugees, champion adoption, and point out how kids like Keith suffer from inequality...

Superman: The Man of Steel #39 (December 1994) "DEAD AGAIN!" Part 5! A Very Special issue about Keith and his mom, plus the "return" of (what's left of) Lex Luthor. Also, wow, look at that cover. Tumblr: superman86to99.tumblr.com/post/8141770... Patreon (free post): www.patreon.com/posts/155842...

Trying to square my love of local, and my trust in the people I know who work there with the idea of being charged a $7 per seat convenience fee for buying Broadway Theatre tickets in person. I still did it but it feels weird. At least I dodged the $2.50 per ticket online fee, no, I’m not kidding.

There is simply no explaining the Konig verdict. The defense was a trainwreck start to finish.

It seems like the whole world is a competition of who can yawn the loudest.

You had me at "tries to blow up a prostitute".

Tiger Woods was super good at something really boring for five years twenty years ago. Now he is really good at not using his endless wealth to hire a driver.

Good news: I drew a sketchbook piece of Power Girl that I was really happy with. Bad news: the cover was opened and resting on a crumb from an onion ring so now my sketchbook is grease stained.

Wholesomeness is my rebellion.

I may never work for @dc.com but part of me will always want to. Here’s a maid of might from the sketchbook tonight. Up, up and away!

For me, How Chee! My buddy the great @craigsilliphant.bsky.social made a documentary about a beloved late night tv commercial that has lived on through VHS and the internet. I got to draw the poster, and it was super fun to work on. Everyone should go see this film!

Cop: Can you describe the man who stabbed you? Me: He kept going like this [stabbing motion]

So passes the greatest living actor (in my opinion). Robert Duvall was never anything but authentic in every role. So many of his great performances (Gus McRae in Lonesome Dove, Mac Sledge in Tender Mercies, The Apostle EF in The Apostle) were family favourites. May he rest in peace.

And one day, under his tutelage, those skaters shall kill Superman

The world seems so much more hopeful with a belly full of steak.

For Liam.

Inventor Of The HEIC File: "Maybe this will be what finally sends someone I'll never meet completely over the edge."

I do catastrophize too much, but in my defense, this is a catastrophe.

New Blog Post! Consumed: Hamnet, by @DonnySparrow substack.com/@donsparrow/...

I hate it when I uncover an ancient artifact that grants me extraordinary powers only to discover that I am now a pawn in an eternal cosmic battle between the forces of light and darkness

Looking at old paintings by the great commercial illustrators (Buell, Moran, Petty, Sundblom, Ballantyne, etc ) and I think what sets Elvgren apart, and why his profile remains so large isn't necessarily the skill with paint, or the poses--it's how beautiful his faces are.

Sketchbook tonight…

Festivus: still not funny.

Some guy outside 7-Eleven just tried to sell me “invisibility potion.” Nice try pal, I’m not falling for that again

One of my favourite shows of the year!

it was probably a mistake teaching him to read

Everyone's college experience should include a Morrissey phase. Here's an ink sketchbook drawing from my art college days at Sheridan College in Oakville Ontario. "Where is the man you respect? And where is the woman you love?"

New newsletter. A newsletter that’s new. donsparrow.substack.com/p/prairie-co...

I shot a man in Reno for not wishing me a Happy Honda Days

My wife handed me a clean towel and asked me to “put it in its place.” So, I looked at it and said, “Don’t forget that you’re only a towel,” and I was reminded yet again of just how lucky this woman was to be married to me.
