Happy October, that weird month when we celebrate both Halloween and postseason baseball, or in other words welcome to the ghostseason

Military Reddit is popping off today 👀

IMO Batman 431 has the best cover of that era

Somebody close to Solange tell her to include cartoonists too! Jackie Ormes, Ollie Harrington, etc. Of course, given issues with segregation and discrimination in the comic industry, this leads to questions on what to include during the curation process.

Ok I really gotta stop looking for things that might exasperate me and shut down for ye holy Shabbos #shabbatshalom #itsshabbosbaby

The Violent Femmes are neither violent nor femme . . . discuss.

It’s disturbing the way people talk about the 90s as if they were thirty years ago.

I went to Shelley Duvall’s house for her estate sale and it was sad and wonderful. thebloggess.com/2025/09/22/i...

Bologna, the site of a long-running film restoration festival, is a movie buff’s paradise. “If movies were people,” Anthony Lane writes, “Bologna is where they would choose to live.”

People constantly talk about how we're in scary times and I need to watch what I say. Counterpoint, when/if this all winds down, I still need to be able to live with myself, ok.

A meet cute in which I bump into a beautiful woman. My briefcase opens and 100 colored pencils tumble out. “Oh, excuse me, sorry, ma’am,” I say. We both bend down to collect the pencils. “Wow…” she says. “Holbeins. And Polys and Prismacolors…” “You color??” I reply in awe. She shrugs demurely.

Don’t forget to leave milk and cookies out for Earth, Wind & Fire tonight

I hate unboxing videos. HOWEVER, I am a CARTOONIST. So.

“It has never been easier to order a book...it's never been harder to go & connect with a person...every store has to become a community center. Every podcast has to become a community center.” David Harper on comics & community. Listen🔗🧵⬇️

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Neighbor getting a dead tree taken down this morning and it caused quite a stir among the local Boomer dads. I’m too young to join them, but one day…

The Spirit from September 10, 1950. Art by Will Eisner.

“You used to be food, ya know.” Really digging the beginning of Alien: Earth and had to draw a bit of it. Featuring Kirsh, Siberian, Morrow, Hermit, and Wendy.

The greatest exchange in comics interview history still belongs to Jack Kirby

I really just think everyone needs to read more books and then get maybe pizzas as prizes for reading those books.

When I was a kid, there were two things that sparked the Halloween in me -- the first promos airing for "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" and the first spooky Archie comics hitting the spinner racks at Store 24 (New England coded).

Oh boy. Smh.

I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!

Government is about the organization of society, and society is just all of us. It's a way of harnessing all of the sustaining and exponentially generative value that we humans create just by living in proximity to one another.

It’s Zinezilla today in Bristol! Will you be there?

I think me trying to figure out how to start reading Judge Dredd is how most people struggle with figuring out how to start reading Batman.

Whenever I'm asked if social media is a good way to sell books, I remember that in all my years on twitter, the tweets of mine that went most viral were about MC Hammer being Scottish and people who hoard those little glass ramekins that posh desserts come in.

i know to many it's a job, but comics demand a nuclear amount of energy, usually provided by one person working alone, that is so misunderstood and unmatched lol

It took a while but Gail Simone finally got to the most important Claremont X-Men trope: dapper fetish gear!

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

the horrors persist and so do my deadlines

Darlings, a reminder: an editorial assistant will, in her first six months on the job, work on more books than you will publish in your lifetime. If she warns you that an image won’t reproduce well, or that [whatever] will cause delays, or that [thing] often ends up looking silly: believe her.

I think Dem politicians need to pay real close attention to how much excitement Sandwich Guy is generating and how much support he has vs. the ones who tried to prosecute him. If you generally embody this spirit you’ll galvanize a movement. Just look at that street art. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/27/f...

Today is the birthday of my favorite comic book writer, the very gifted Otto Binder (Aug. 26, 1911-Oct. 13, 1974). Cocreator of Mary Marvel, Supergirl, the Mighty Sampson, Kid Eternity, Krypto, Brainiac, the Legion of Superheroes, Black Adam, Lucy Lane, Tawky Tawny, & many more.

An important but largely unremarked upon aspect of comic book lettering is what I refer to as "the fussin' at it" stage.

Love to see one of the new covers out in the world. And so glad the brilliant artist who did them came across this one. Thanks for sharing, Yuko!
