New work from @tonymcmillen.bsky.social is always exciting! In an age of soulless AI slop, nothing is more exciting to me than seeing art that could only come from the hand/mind/heart of a real human being, and Tony’s work is so singular and original that it could have only come from him.

I’m at a bit of an impasse these days, trying to capture the energy & immediacy of my rough layouts in my final finished pages, which always wind up more carefully controlled. If I can fuse these two sensibilities I might be on to something.

I made my DISCO RIPPER comic in the spirit of early ‘80s slasher flicks like TERROR TRAIN, PROM NIGHT, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. Perfect reading for the spooky season, it’s available at @strangeadventures.bsky.social and through the link in my bio.

Big computer head.

Heads up Dartmouth folks, our neighbour’s cat Egon is missing. He’s very sweet and super friendly—hopefully he’s just out exploring the neighborhood. If you’re in the area, please keep an eye out for him (he will very likely come running right up to you for skritches).

Currently reading.

Kicked off spooky season last night with an old favourite that will, sadly, always be far too relevant.

James Downey’s appearance in One Battle After Another sent me seeking out the thing I best know him from, one of the all-time great SNL ad parodies.

A movie prop I would *love* to own is Jesse’s terrible painting of William H. Macy’s character Little Bill in BOOGIE NIGHTS.

Just a quick appreciation for this wonderful piece by artist extraordinaire and all-around swell guy @kellytindall.bsky.social, depicting the cast of my favourite movie, Joe Dante’s THE ‘BURBS.

More Colan-inspired Dracula. We gotta get back to this design one day, because his look in current Marvel continuity is questionable at best.

This guy’s not here to fuck around, he’s got the secret prices. #mailcouponnow

1970s Wonder Man as Robert Evans, anybody tackled one that one yet?

Happy Star Trek Day, here’s a Gorn I drew awhile back.

From the sketchbook, jamming on the idea that both Superman and Doctor Doom employ an army of robotic duplicates of themselves. If they ever met, would these AI doppelgängers possibly join forces in a new form bent on unshackling themselves from their flesh & blood masters?

2025: the year of King/Bachman dystopian locomotion.

Uh, yes please.

White Lotus Season 4.

White Lotus Season 4.

Look, Doc, you got a stupid haircut, it happens to all of us at some point. You don’t need to make up a goofy story to explain it.

Watching the end of ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA on Pluto. This would make an interesting double bill/endurance test with THE IRISHMAN, watching DeNiro go from old age makeup in one to being digitally de-aged in the other.

My alarm woke me from a dream where I was having a shouting match with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. No idea what we were arguing about.

No Frills was playing this song when I stopped in this morning, it definitely set a weird tone for a quick grocery shop. youtu.be/fVbaYFVUbLo?...

Poopdeck Pappy was the original player hater.

Terrific interview with one of my favourite creators. It’s always inspiring to hear @tonymcmillen.bsky.social talk about the craft of making comics.

I’ve been studying Gene Colan’s work a lot lately in an attempt to see how he arrived at his unorthodox panel layouts…I’m guessing he sketched out the figures first, then contained them within panels afterwards? I don’t know how else he would have arrived at some of these layouts and panel shapes.

Happy 35th birthday to the greatest jump scare in movies.

Moon Boy & Devil Dinosaur for the late night crowd. Why are you still up? Go to bed.

Just a few more days to order Fortress 2! My story of mechanical madness continues… 🦾🤖 Lunar Code: 0725ST763

Everybody knows Bob The Goon died at the end of BATMAN ‘89. What this minicomic proposes is…maybe he didn’t? I’ve got a new printing of my BOB THE GOON minicomic available—FREE with any order of any comics from my Etsy store (link in bio!).

The Saga of The Swamp Thing is made possible by viewers like you.

Looks like @wordburglar.bsky.social and I accurately predicted the Jessica Fletcher action figure all the way back in 2021, when we collaborated on “The Other Shop”—finally making its debut in WORDBURGLAR RHYMES WITH COMICS this weekend at @dartmouthcomix.bsky.social!

It’s here! WORDBURGLAR RHYMES WITH COMICS makes its debut this Sunday at @dartmouthcomix.bsky.social, 100 pages of comic book craziness written by @wordburglar.bsky.social and featuring a stellar artistic lineup that I’m humbled to be part of. Rap & comics, 2 great tastes that taste great together!

A pair of polite young people stopped me on the street today to invite me to join them at church tomorrow. It must have been because of my t-shirt.

A couple of outstanding new additions to the collection of movie novelizations, courtesy of an old friend from out of town.

Happy birthday Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Listen, the word “epic” gets thrown around a lot these days, but trust me—WORDBURGLAR RHYMES WITH COMICS is gonna make Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY look like something you dug out of the dollar bins at “The Other Shop”.

2025 has been packed full of work for other folks, but it’s time to start ramping up towards generating my own material again. To that end, here’s a quick lunchtime sketch. #makemorecomics

I’m only exaggerating a little bit when I say that Ralph Ineson’s Galactus is one of my favourite bits of MCU casting.

Me and you + 15 stories. 15 songs. 15 creators. Zero AI. 450% Funded. 3 days left. Thank you for supporting WORDBURGLAR RHYMES WITH COMICS #1! www.kickstarter.com/projects/the... #Kickstarter #comicbooks #indiemusic #indiecomics

My kinda decade!

I’m seeing the new FF movie In a few hours, going back to the source first.

I’ve been revisiting Mark Waid’s DAREDEVIL run, with alternating art by Paolo Rivera and Marcos Martin (with Chris Samnee waiting in the wings to take over !). If you have the means, I highly recommend doing the same.

Issue 4 cover reveal! This doesn’t drop til November, but hey, sharing is caring. Will Caleb make it out of this issue in one piece? The saga rages on… brought to you by Roam Comics and @strangers.bsky.social

Will WORDBURGLAR RHYMES WITH COMICS #1 be the best comic you've ever HEARD? @iamkalman.bsky.social @angoranapkin.bsky.social @brendahickeycomics.bsky.social @davehowlett.bsky.social @cybertronicspree.bsky.social @kellytindall.bsky.social @wackartwork.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

At the end of a marathon weekend of colouring, a new DISCO RIPPER short story is done! Details on the where & when coming ASAP.

This book will finally be out in the world soon! Can’t wait!
