I hate it when I discover a book I think I would like, but it appears to be out of print. The latest? THE ADVENTURES OF JODELLE, from 1967.

One of the best Metroid tie-ins ever. I love this thing.

I feel bad for folks that have a hard time sleeping. It's not something I've ever had to deal with, but it sounds like just The Worst.

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

Watched MORE YOU SEE ME: NOW YOU DON'T, which was impressively terrible from top to bottom. When a character in his twenties was identified as having a literal WWII Nazi for a father, I looked at my wife and she said, "Don't."

Picked up the Marvel UK Transformers compendium. Like the American ones before it, it's a beast.

Don’t let them take silly away from you

A lot of professional comics work is doing shit that is not comics. Graphic design, accounting, answering emails. Just let me draw my stupid comics.

I asked a guy where he got a t-shirt with a cool design on it, and he said he didn't remember, which is hard for me to accept because I know exactly when and where I bought every single item of clothing I own.

A must-read!

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

That Chris Pine D&D movie rules very hard. It's as good as the first GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.

Art is valuable…and not solely as reactive “self-care” as a “reward” for doing “enough activism” on a seesaw ad perpetuum.

Drew a guy.

BEASTS OF BURDEN is incredible, full stop.

“i’m still punk” i whisper to myself as i turn down the music in my car so i can see better

Canadian comic creators! If you have not, please sign up for the Public Lending Right, which pays you for the graphic novels in which your work appears in Canadian libraries. That payment is a highlight of my February every year. publiclendingright.ca

the video game industry is a mess

Watched MICKEY 17 last night. In a movie where you've got giant talking bugs and 3D-printed humans, the least realistic thing was that people in a tyrannical government would mutiny when the leadership lost its head.

staring at the screen, no ideas, the empty prompt window confronting you with your own mediocrity -- welcome to the work, chump, you loser.

The thing about Casablanca being the greatest film of all time is people don't believe you and then they watch it

Thought I'd forgotten didn't you

Been let down a lot this week, which is a feeling that you kinda get used to as an adult, but it always stings just a little bit, like a little needle in the arm or a sliver under your fingernail.

Everything I know about the Superbowl was told to me without my consent.

My friend Rick owns a big chunk of the original artwork for this (magnificent) story. He paid $200/page.

Putting videos of your children on the internet for clicks is probably child abuse.

I love these. Elliot is so marvelous.

Rest in peace, you titan of comedy. All of Canada mourns you.

I said this for years, and I still think it's true. Buy me a beer and I'll name names.

A Nazi (2026)

I am HOWLING

I, a normal boring Canadian, think you should go to jail if you kill someone. I hope this isn't too sizzling a take.

Done and done.

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

Normally, I would be sad that a cartoonist has died. But today, I'm sad because I didn't eat enough lunch.

Listening to some movie soundtracks while working, and I feel like a wacky detective solving a low-stakes case. A nice change of pace from the anxious nightmare I've been feeling like lately.

HEY PUBLISHERS: pay attention to this entire thread; and recognize that a HUGE part of the problem is assigning comics projects to editors with no comics knowledge or experience. Editing comics is a discrete discipline, and when you don't recognize that, you fuck both creators and yourself over.

With two inkers and a flatter working around the clock with me, I drew and coloured close to fifty pages of a GN in one long weekend. It was hell on earth.

My dog is cute!

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: Hi! I'm a cow.

why doesn’t anyone care about doing things well anymore

STRANGER THINGS stuck the landing. Great show. So happy to share it with my kids, who are the exact right age for it. I would have loved it back in the Nineties.

No sir, I don't like it.

I enjoy watching STRANGER THINGS. It doesn't make me angry in the slightest. I think it's fun.

Some random young person I didn't know walked up to me in 1997 and said, in awe, "You are *beautiful!*" and I've never ever forgotten it.
