Stayed up late trying not to sob over TikTok clips from PROJECT HAIL MARY. That's a good dang flick, folks.

Again, comics people, I implore you to give your book a descriptive and clear name.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

COMICS INDUSTRY FOLKS: Eisner Award voting is different this year, apparently. "…all prospective Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards voters will have to apply to be considered to vote before the nominees are announced." Here's the link to apply for a ballot: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Shout out to anyone who is Googling 'is project hail mary based on a true story' because apparently it's a lot of you.

Film you’ve watched more than 6 times with a gif “Hard mode:“ No Star Trek, Star Wars, LotR, Disney or Ghibli. (Easy if you were a Gen X kid with two videotapes in the house.)

lol

Saw PROJECT HAIL MARY in Imax, had a nice coffee with my wife, and Child 2 bought me some homemade marmalade. Pretty good day.

Live your life in a way that would tick off a tech bro.

Me and the four people who read my bleats

Is Steve Mellor, the artist on Spider-Ham, still around? Can I buy art from him? What's going on there?

Joni Mitchell had an art show in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan almost thirty years ago. A friend of mine snuck into the reception and stayed near the back, where he soon realized that the older gentleman in a big coat, hat and sunglasses was Jack Nicholson himself, supporting his dear friend.

I have an Instagram account for my dog, and three of the accounts I follow on it - three in a row - had posts today about losing their dogs.

The sudden sensation that you've seen this retired Disney animator before: Andreas Deja vu

One reason I enjoy listening to NPR is the high number of usages of the word 'gosh'.

100% I've said this before, but learning to say a project is "done enough" and moving on and also just stubbornly continuing to make shit even if it isn't good are more important than being the world's best draftsperson.

My spies tell me this is the book of the year. If TONGUES is better than DROME, it'll have been a hell of a year.

Also picked up these two, but I'm sad to say that this is it... I've dropped the book.

When your local comic shop knows that you always support your old co-workers.

Opened up our pond yesterday. Glad to see that the goldfish survived the winter. Spending the rest of the summer sitting right here.

It has long been my fantasy to smell like a giant reptile from Brooklyn.

if you have enough enemies to staff a baseball team, you should take a hard look at your life

Me to 3yo: What do you want for your birthday party theme? 3yo: “Poopoo & peepee theme! We can get apple juice for the pee, so a skeleton pees and you drink the skeleton pee but it’s okay because it’s juice” Me: ..K I was thinking like “dinosaurs” but let’s put a pin in “piss fountain of the dead”

Hello! I'm looking for a queer horror artist for an anthology short (6-8 pgs)! This is paid work and the rate will go up based on crowdfunding. New creators welcome! Please DM ME with your PORTFOLIO. Final pages will be due in two months. I'll contact my choice in the next two weeks. Thanks!

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

My kids are watching a young female pop singer live in concert, so like a true dad, I left them at the door and lumbered to the nearest diner.

What? Me! Worry.

got a much needed long laugh from this

It's the ten-year anniversary of the Taika Waititi masterpiece HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE. A rollicking adventure film about an orphaned teenager and a crusty rancher who find themselves on the run from the law in the wilds of New Zealand, it is one of my favorite films.

Attended a reading by David Sedaris tonight; marvelous to finally tick that box and see him in person. I've been a fan of his since I saw him on Letterman thirty years ago.

Very tempting to cede the internet to the right-wing grifters, AI tech bros and Facebook anti-vax moms for a couple of years and focus on reality.

good morning

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

"From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch." ― Edgar Mitchell

I have a soft spot for the second Super Mario game, so I'm pleased the 8-Bit Club are getting a little attention in the second animated movie. Birdo rules!

Big news for indie comics 🎨🔥 👀 @jamesthefourth.bsky.social and a stacked team launch BODEGA, a new Brooklyn nonprofit with a major #comics expo, creator grants, and more aimed at supporting the next wave of artists. #comicsky Details:

It's April Fool's, so post a joker. youtu.be/gAmjTHWKX7A?...

I'm starting to think that comic conventions/pop culture expos are becoming unmoored completely from the stuff that inspired them. Cosplay, print walls, the weird almost-tribal relationships... almost none of it affects anything outside the convention doors.

one of my most popular designs

DO YOUR STRETCHES AND THANK ME LATER

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Rewatching SKYFALL, and Javier Bardem's villain makes me think of a Hulked-out, less-funny Julio Torres.

Watching FRENCH DISPATCH with Child 2 again. Still among my least favorite Wes Anderson movies overall, although the prison sequence with Benicio del Toro is, I think, one of the best things Anderson has made.

Sigourney Weaver's father created THE TONIGHT SHOW.

Watched KISS KISS BANG BANG again tonight. One of my favorite movies. RDJ, Val Kilmer, and Michelle Monaghan are perfect in every way.
