I'm finding it kind of cool how the Escape from the Planet of the Apes film kind of repurposes ideas from the Boulle novel that the original POTA film discarded, and incorporates them into an entirely new story. I guess that kind of makes it the Lost World: Jurassic Park of the Apes series.

I will take a movie or tv show, thank you www.them.us/story/usa-ca...

I have recently started rereading Pierre Boulle's Planet of the Apes and was a bit surprised that I have no memory of just how weird Boulle gets with his prose once Nova shows up in the story. The descriptions and the repetition of her as this angelic golden beauty...it has not aged well.

Legion of Super-Kids: Salu Digby, Shrinking Violet (Not an official DC thing, just me having fun!) #LegionofSuperHeroes #LongLiveTheLegion #FromTheSketchbook

Seen recently on Facebook Marketplace... 🤦

Beautifully put by @thielman.bsky.social in his Jaime Hernandez piece in the NYT: "In “Life Drawing,” she and Tonta become tentative friends. Maggie’s adventures have aged into accomplishments and regrets." www.nytimes.com/interactive/... Exquisite web design from Gabriel Gianordoli, too!

Saw this on an airplane in 2013 and thought it was worth giving it a rewatch when I saw it while thrifting today. Bought it for the Park Chan-Wook but kind of stunned to find out that it was written by Wentworth Miller!🤷

Love this.

I feel like hunting pictures shouldn't be allowed on dating sites. Like, if you want to hunt...okay. We don't agree but you do you. But scrolling past pictures of dead animals in various states of dead on a dating site is hella upsetting.

I think that all these "which DVDs are worth money" videos are pouring gasoline on an already shitty speculator market and making the acquiring of some physical media more difficult than it really should be. NGL, when I see the resellers at shops rabidly scanning items I just want to punch them.

Between things said on a number of non-comics podcasts discussing comics, and feedback from friends who have recently started collecting comics, it's been made clear to me how poorly comics are marketed to anyone outside the industry/fandom.

Love this so much.😂

Today is the day a very special man was born, sent to us many years ago to tell fantastic tales and bring messages of peace and understanding. Happy birthday Rod Serling!

Post a black and white panel and tell us who drew it. This one is Fabio Moon

"The illustrations are detailed and filled with sound effects, creating an atmosphere readers can sink into." — Booklist Petra Chérie, Attilio Micheluzzi’s classic graphic novel about the dramatic adventures of a mysterious heroine during the end of World War I, is out now!https://ow.ly/oyra50XHAyh

Proud of them for this. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Opened up my copy of Shop Talk to find this little Maverick logo on the copyright page. The cool thing about the Maverick logos is they were all unique and designed by each creator who produced under the imprint. I didn't even know that Will had one.

So true. This is also why Tubi is kinda great.

Tapping the sign

Continuing my acquisition of books posts... I've wanted this one for years and finally managed to snag it in great shape. Looking forward to diving in and reading these conversations.

Just rewatched Dial of Destiny and realized that Spielberg probably didn't return because after Schindler's List he said he would never do comic book Nazis again. I feel the film suffers for not having him involved and for rehashing Nazis as the villains.

It's never a bad time listening to Peter Weller talk. youtu.be/CVBF3GQrDE0?...

My favourite characters from the Chuck E. Cheese Christmas special...

I can't even...

Talking about the advent of AI, Jon Colton Barry gives one of my favourite takes on the subject: "like, sorry, AI, you kinda had to be there."

I interviewed Zac Moncrief and Jon Colton Barry last week. We spent part of our chat talking about their Chuck E. Cheese Christmas special.

I missed that @samthielman.com wrote a great piece about the genius Gilbert Hernandez for the NYTimes! Look, there are a lot of characters, but if you can keep up with Marvel you can keep up with the Luba/Fritz-verse. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/b...

This was interesting... youtu.be/59bN4SxhuLg?...

Apologies for so much etsy posting, but it’s a big part of how we operate. Anyhow, there is a TON of original art on sale rn for pre-Black Friday. Go take a look! helioscopepdx.etsy.com?section_id=6...

Why is there always a clip of them in the past railing against the thing they are literally doing today? www.instagram.com/reel/DQZK93V...

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Up to 14 MLAs, now. youtu.be/MwAThrW2LgA?...

Device…hoarding. Because you don’t go get a new one while yours is still fine. Apparently I am also practicing car hoarding, house hoarding, husband hoarding, dog hoarding, computer hoarding, furniture hoarding and art hoarding.

It always frustrates me when interviewers on podcasts ask a guest at the end if there's any questions they haven't asked them. Like, it's your job to think of questions. You either covered it or you didn't. Asking a guest if there's anything you haven't asked them puts them in an awkward space.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

The total is now 9. 9 UCP MLAs are currently the subject of recall petitions. Marlaina is now talking about going back & amending the law again, this time to make it harder to get a petition going. They're clowns & grifters. Shameless & corrupt. Get rid of the lot of them. youtu.be/JlB5qPbhA-k?...

Relatable.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Langridge returns to the Muppets!

Did this on my accounts this morning.

Trina Robbins was a national treasure. I got legitimately choked up when she was asked if she was confident that she would see a woman president in her lifetime and she says, "Yeah! I'm not going anywhere. There's still time." open.spotify.com/episode/0X7m...

I got another episode done and out! Probably one more left to close out the year unless the universe provides a surprise guest in December.

I made a fun short about how artist @stevelieberart.bsky.social used his studiomates as reference in his and @mattfraction.bsky.social series “Superman’s Pall Jimmy Olsen". www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0Re...

Another cool thrift store find. I think the first season got a domestic release on physical media but I have my eye on a S2 Agent Carter BD that's supposed to be region free so this doubles as an inexpensive test for my gear.

I've never actually seen a Laurel and Hardy film but I picked this DVD up for two bucks and a quarter at the local Goodwill and it features an audio commentary so, even if the movie isn't to my taste, the commentary will still probably be worth the money spent.

Red Woman/Black Dog.

Marlaina and her cronies can go fuck themselves. I guess Albertans no longer have rights protected under the law anymore as the UCP is more than happy to use the notwithstanding clause whenever they want to prevent challenges in court. youtu.be/n2GY2baK4Rc?...

John Oliver's season finale was great, glad he focused on public media, and how important it is to fund. Red states tend to benefit from it the most. He has an auction site up to help raise money, johnoliversjunk.com, which even has an actual Bob Ross painting on it (but it's at 1 million).

Very excited to have in my possession the first volume of Total THB by the Comics Destroyer, Paul Pope! This is gonna be a fun read.
