This is a contender for my favorite joke in the first issue of Meeting Comics

an early Meeting Comics that still makes me laugh

Tori and Val, mixed media

I don't think I ever met Elijah, but I enjoyed Reich and carried it when I owned a comic shop, and I enjoyed all the comics I saw that he posted online. There are some incredible remembrances here:

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

I saw a bumper sticker today that said "RESCUE DAD" and it made me glad to know that even with everything that's going on, people are still adopting from dad shelters

I've never really understood the point of Reddit but this weekend I realized a significant amount of it is people asking the internet for advice on something that could be easily handled by talking to someone standing next to them

Everyone knows that the truly great comedians all explain their jokes

Me at the press conference hastily organized after waking up and seeing that my joke about the futility and absurdity of fighting fascism by canceling a streaming channel has been perceived far outside my normal reach: "to make amends, I have made a sizable donation to the Goofy fan wiki"

Canceling Disney+ because they canceled Kimmel is well and good, but if you really want to make them pay attention, there is no better way than fucking Goofy's wife

there comes a point at which you must hate both the player and the game

A little comic I drew on Marriott stationery at SPX eight years ago

The police will call you about photos you post to private chats. They will do this almost immediately, it seems www.kenklippenstein.com/p/charlie-ki...

A comic I drew in 2018

I once saw a little bit of an episode of Matlock while waiting for an oil change once so you'd think I would have known there is a reboot starring Kathy Bates

This is by far the best breakdown of the culture that Tyler Robinson was deeply involved in. The media and the government are taking things at face value, either because they don't understand the lingo or because it's just convenient for their narrative. Broken down in 2 parts to fit BS limits.

Baby spinach? What do you think I am, some kind of pervert? Now lady spinach on the other hand...

A very nice little instagram video review of the Val Cannon Mysteries!

Cool zine

Congratulations to someone I've enjoyed talking to whenever I have seen him, and I don't think I've told him, but an inspiration for how I have now drawn and self-published thirty issues of Meeting Comics

i think often about this discussion between Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hideaki Anno. it's one of the funniest ways anyone has ever talked about restraint vs self indulgence in art.

we are fucking broken as a society when mainstream news publications are saying things like "the school shooting industry is worth billions"

the road to hell

The first published drawing of Val in her 20s (in pink, from inside front cover of Meeting Comics #8), and the three Val Cannon Mysteries so far, which are about her at this time of her life! In each comic she deals with a mystery and life as a horny young punk rocker! #comics #altcomix #comicoop

Five years ago, I released Meeting Comics #14, which took place in real time during COVID lockdown! It will be collected in the third Meeting Comics book, TINA AND ELLIE TAKE THE CASE, coming whenever I can make it happen...

The icon// the artist// the work

I finally started playing Resident Evil Village last week, and I like a big lady as much as the next guy, but what a terrible game. The controls are so slimy.

How old am I, you ask? Well, I didn't set an alarm, woke up and laid around for an hour or so on a Sunday, and when I finally got up it was 7:30.

On this day I take my inspiration from Al

Sanford and Son Baretta Dallas Magnum PI Taxi* *I wouldn't say it gets me "pumped" but... What are the best TV theme songs of all time? Not the best shows — but the opening songs that immediately get you pumped when you hear the first few notes?

I have "a lot going on" so I didn't apply for SPX or CXC next year, and I just dropped out of the End Paper event at the NC Art Museum in a couple weeks. I am still planning to make Zine Machine in Durham in October. I hope indie comix people all have a fun fall indie comix show season!

The key to not looking like a tourist in NYC is calling it “the regular apple”

I used to own a comic book store, and this is a story from the last year I owned it, when I was negotiating the sale of the store and was beyond ready to go. It is about taking revenge on someone who pissed me off. Note: In this thread I will spoil an event from The Walking Dead.

fuck this
