Drop something ROBOT-RELATED 🤖

All of us looking at this picture are in this picture.

[P] There's a Humble Bundle of every Peanuts strip ever for $25. I'm sorry, let me repeat that in a more appropriate tone... THERE'S A HUMBLE BUNDLE OF EVERY PEANUTS STRIP EVER FOR $25. www.humblebundle.com/books/collec...

Today is April Fool’s Day. I honestly don’t like April Fool’s Day, as more often than not, people just use it as an excuse to be cruel to each other and then excuse it as a joke. Like Lucy in this comic. Don’t be like Lucy.

[Looks at calendar] [crosses fingers] Please be true ...

Oh man, I know someone who would love to have these! It's funny to me how Robotman was developed for licensing, but you don't see much Robotman merch.

I just backed The Comics Staple - A *PRINT* Comics News Zine, you can too! Follow them here: @comicsstaple.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

We're only a couple days away from the launch of the very first The Comics Staple Kickstarter. If you're excited about comics criticism and getting mail, make sure to hit that NOTIFY ME ON LAUNCH button now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

Once upon a time, I had a 1980s Ford Festiva as my work commuter, and it had one of those gas caps with a lock and key. More secure than the door lock and the ignition! Are we going back to that? I *would* enjoy having one of those cars again. Built by Kia, I think.

Doing other research, but ran across this Donald Duck comic strip of him using a copy machine, and it made me laugh. I can't think of the last time I heard someone describe a piece of misbehaving tech as "on the blink." Spotted in the Albuquerque Journal 11/10/1991, Page 91

Some great panels in here for use in the office Slack channel.

Typography on Pencils, parts 1-6. For it is National Pencil Day. www.presentandcorrect.com/blogs/blog/t...

Happy Opening Day! May the schedule be in your favor. ✒️Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz, originally published 2/23/1968

Whoa! That's an incredible deal!

Do you miss Comics Twitter? I do, and as silly as it sounds, my print project, The Comics Staple, is my way of trying to get that "in the know" vibe back into the comics community. To support the project, make sure you've hit the button on our pre-launch page.

Cool! That means, whenever I do send out a newsletter (which is only quarterly at best), it'll now feature these snazzy bookshop embeds instead of just links! My newsletter is here, if you're interested: buttondown.com/benjaminlclark

Ooops all BLAPs! Laser fire: BLAP! Airlock door opens: BLAP! A dropped glass shatters on a tile floor with a BLAP made of shards.

I went to Tokyo in December and got to check out the City Hunter exhibit! Here's my writeup for TCJ! www.tcj.com/a-look-at-th...

Two hours to go! Features discussions of, about, and around machines like in these images and the people who operated them. (Photos from a trip to the Museum of Printing in Haverhill, Mass.)

This PEANUTS comic strip was published #OTD on March 24, 1958.

I went to the forest to pick mushrooms. I didn’t find many mushrooms (as expected) but it was really nice.

I like the punch-card computer in this single random Dick Tracy strip I have. I think it was attached to one of the Eek & Meek comics I shared not too long ago. ✒️Dick Tracy by Chester Gould, 6/29/1970

🗣️ Bay Area artists! Comic Con Oakland has their debut event in May on Mother’s Day weekend, and their Artist Alley and Exhibitor applications are open! I think it’s going to be a great event because the folks running it are pros who actually care about comics and supporting creative people.

I prefer "Viking-y" Hagar, but domestic Hagar can still be great. Even if it reads a bit like medieval Blondie. More from me and a random, sole Hagar comic strip clipping in my collection: benjaminlclark.com/whats-for-di...

In light of today’s news, even prouder NYC chooses to center Dolores Huerta in teaching the history of the farm workers fight.

Dolores Huerta is incredible.

Winthrop comic strip March 18,1969 This punch line gave me a snort.😃 #comic #comicstrip #comicpanel #oldnewspaper #winthrop

I love old newspapers when they'd drop in a squib like this -- just some random factoid that raises more questions than it answers. Perfect. 📰 Los Angeles Morning Tribune, Los Angeles, California · Sunday, July 18, 1915, page 30.

With my book Flong Time, No See at 80% funded and a week to go, and with premium underwriting tiers claimed, I’ve added two supporter tiers: get thanked in the book, three different signed books, and a limited letterpress-printed item! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle...

Not sure what I expected peeling off an old label from the communal office pile of recycled file folders, but it wasn’t this.

A very clever sound effect — not only do the characters' poses form the letters, they also visually communicate how the impact twisted their bodies into unusual and uncomfortable shapes.

Look good, feel good

Life In Hell clipping spotted in the wild taped up at a local coffee shop.

Comics people, craft people who live near a CVS If you've got shows coming up, you can get a vinyl banner TODAY ONLY (last day of sale) from CVS photo/print 2'x6' for about $12 with the code: MARCH70. They're usually $40+

Actually, I love Middle-Class Animals. I wish these were collected into a book by someone. I think it only ran for a couple of years ...

Man, I wish that's what "old values" meant nowadays.

I don't know that I *like* this example, but I do like it when newspapers did /something/ in the header of the comic section. Unfortunately, only scanned in B/W online.

When did it become widely known that chocolate was really bad for dogs? I was looking into this question, and it seems like it might have been way more recent than I imagined — maybe as late as the 1980s?? That seems incorrect, but maybe?

HEY COMICS--PW looking for pitches, see link – we’re looking to hear about adult comics series that are seeing or expect a readership/sales bump mid-series (Vol 2 and above) and WHY publishers think this is happening (streaming, obvs—& other reasons?) www.publishersweekly.com/pw/calls-for...
