This is just gorgeous art. I really should explore Milton Caniff's work, which I guess is mainly Terry & the Pirates and Steve Canyon. I remember Steve Canyon from when I was a kid, but I would just bloop right over it and other dramatic serialized comic strips like Prince Valiant to get to Snoopy

Follow along with the best movie ever, one sentence at a time

Seen on Reddit, a sincere gift dedication to a terrible person

Maybe these fucking assholes can move to the same place as all those fucking assholes who said they'd leave New York if Zohran won. Oh, was it nowhere? Those fucking assholes didn't move anywhere? Eat shit, all of you fucking assholes

I see this so often in comic books and it drives me crazy: handshakes using left hands. Maybe this is because the art gets flipped for some reason but I swear I see one example every month and this NEVER happens in real life, unless maybe your right hand is in a cast or holding a baby or something

Who has warm toes and loves socks for Christmas?

(increasingly angry mob) We told you we won't go until we get some (me, guarding figgy pudding with shotgun) NEVER

"I will catch you up with great regret, like when you have to explain death to a child or Mr. Beast to a parent." @joshgondelman.bsky.social is funny and you should subscribe to his newsletter. Also he's a good rebuttal to that old man ranting about current comedians

"Not an old man rant," rants old man

If you see this, post your favorite Star Wars character.

The people backing a.i. are definitely the same people who would build Jurassic Park. "Trust us, we could use this technology for so many good things, other than wasting resources and lives to make a shitload of money." "Will you, though?" (7 movies later) "SO MANY good things. Annny second now."

I got a bottle of this today AND I'M NOT EVEN SORRY

VS. does not stand for VERSE. Nor does V. VS. and V. both stand for VERSUS. Do not say GODZILLA VERSE KONG, or BATMAN VERSE SUPERMAN. Ever, for any reason, ever. Say VERSUS not VERSE or go to hell!

So many layers of podcasting! From the graphic novel BUBBLE by @jordanmorris.bsky.social Sarah Morgan and @tangocharlie.bsky.social (adapted from the podcast BUBBLE), art depicting the McElroy brothers from the podcast MY BROTHER MY BROTHER & ME, name-dropping (kind of) the podcast WHO CHARTED

And the 2025 award for The Coolest Fucking Thing Ever goes to... (opens envelope) ...for the 29th year in a row, it's "Volcano Girls" by Veruca Salt! A very well-deserved honor

Is that Trent Crimm, The Independent, standing behind Jimmy Olsen?

I miss the heyday of the newspaper comic strip collection, say mid-'90s to early-'00s, when there were books at Barnes & Noble for like every comic ever. Below, some of my faves: Rick Detorie's ONE BIG HAPPY, Paul Gilligan's POOCH CAFÉ, Pat Brady's ROSE IS ROSE, & J.C. Duffy's THE FUSCO BROTHERS

Can anyone guess why John Dickson Carr's THE THREE COFFINS is up next on my Libby app? Any movie fans? Fans of movies that JUST came out? Hint: it is known by another name outside the US

SLEEP, by Zander Cannon, killing it as per usual. The mere existence of new comics by @zandercannon.bsky.social is absolute joy

The In Memoriam segment at the Oscars next year will include a lovely tribute to Rob Reiner, but if we're very, very lucky, it will also include a clip of a cameo from HOME ALONE 2

It appears to be confirmed. RIP Rob Reiner, an absolute legend. I'm old enough to know him as Meathead in ALL IN THE FAMILY, but of course became a huge fan with SPINAL TAP and then THE PRINCESS BRIDE, maybe the only movie I've seen more than ROBOCOP. I really hope I have to delete this as a mistake

Oh god please don't make me have to grief-watch THE PRINCESS BRIDE tonight

This opening guitar riff has been stuck in my head all morning. Hopefully it will now be stuck in your head and I can pass it along RINGU-style. MAIDEN RULES

They caved on the government shutdown and Rs predictably blocked ACA subsidies. Jeffries and his ilk now refuse to even consider voting for impeachment. Dems react to doing the bare minimum like Paul Rudd in WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER

I don't really like Paul Dano either but at least I have the courtesy not to make Daniel Day-Lewis have a human interaction about it

CURRENT READING Martha Wells' ALL SYSTEMS RED. See, I read grown-up books too! Although at less (fewer?) than 150 pages this is substantially shorter than the two YA novels I just finished. The basis of the tv show MURDERBOT, which I haven't seen yet. A fun read so far, probably be done today

RECENT READING Tamora Pierce's ALANNA: THE FIRST ADVENTURE. YA fantasy from 1982, back when all I read was YA fantasy. Maybe I skipped it at 11 because the main character is a girl (ew yuk). I love Alanna and appreciate her speedrunning into being a badass but the finale is rushed and unsatisfying

RECENT READING Trenton Lee Stewart's THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY AND THE PRISONER'S DILEMMA and I'm already almost out of characters. A perfectly delightful and satisfying end to this YA trilogy which now has five books. I'm reading #4 soon.

I suspect that one of my favorite authors, @joerlansdale.bsky.social has been having a bad couple days on the internet. "No, the Silicon Valley billionaire asshole's name has an O! I have an A and I make awesome Jonah Hex comics"

Pretty sure the last time I had a full restful night of sleep I still believed in Santa Claus

I still am not 100% sure what Labubu is please do not start in with Moomin

Fun Easter Egg from s2e6 of A MAN ON THE INSIDE: a flyer for the band Scarecrow Boat, which was one of Andy's band names on a previous Michael Schur show, PARKS & REC.

RECENT READING YOUTH GROUP by @jordanmorris.bsky.social (of podcasts Bubble and Jordan Jesse Go!) and Bowen McCurdy. A funny story of a girl whose mom pushes her to join a Christian Youth Group which turns out to be a team of demon-hunting exorcists. Pleasingly cartoonish and engaging art. Loved it

Clarence Boddicker interrupts Bob Morton's party with that famous line from ROBOCOP: "Ladies, I'd leave if I were you." (ROBOCOP #1, "the official Marvel movie adaptation of the blockbuster movie sensation," Oct. '87.)

"Me have nostrils! They just deep in the fur!" A Sesame Street mystery starring Beignet Blanc

THIS IS NOT A FEEL-GOOD STORY. THIS IS NOT INSPIRATIONAL. THIS IS NOT ASPIRATIONAL. THIS IS THE WEALTHY ELITE TELLING YOU TO WORK UNTIL YOU DIE

I named my fists "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle" and "Does This Bus Stop At 82nd Street?" because they're giving you deep cuts

I named my fists It and The Suspense because you won't see It coming and The Suspense is killing you

If I could fly high above the world, would I see a bunch of living dots spell the word "stupidity"?

Remember to thank Rebecda Black today for inventing Fridays, we honor her today on Black Friday

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen Hoyt Axton McCoy Tyner (pianist for the John Coltrane Quartet) Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit concert ('98 & '99) Stephen Lynch/Mitch Hedberg The Linda Lindas

Guys, I know what you're thinking: that fixes one song without a canal, but what about all these other songs without canals? Look no further! We've got you covered!! Here's @thebeaches.bsky.social with "Blame Brett," now with your FDA-recommended daily dosage of canal fully met!

Guys, if you're like me, you probably encounter this problem every single day: I like this song, but do you know what it's missing? A canal! Am I right?? Well, have I got a solution for you!! Here's "Expert In A Dying Field" by @thebeths.bsky.social now with 100% more canal!
