If you need a gift for someone who loves comics w/ adventure and found families, check out the Goblin series from @willperkins.bsky.social and me. While book 1 is harder to find, book 2 is widely available. There's also a choose-your-own-adventure style book, too. www.ericgrissom.com/the-realm-of...

Republican Civil War is great and all, but a part of what’s driving it is groups who think Donald Trump isn’t White Supremacing hard enough, we can be happy to see it happening but we don’t need to embrace these people one ounce

Consider subscribing to Mike's Monthly Minicomic Club. It's one of my favourite comic related things ever. And it's available in Germany, too.

I know this is of much more interest to me than you, but for some reason, my Monthly Minicomic Club saw a real big uptick in new members over the past 30 days. If it kept up, this project could move from "makes a dent in my credit card bills" each month to, "is actual real money coming in" status

the long 90's will never end

I went to see Deliver Me From Nowhere so I could point like Leonardo DiCaprio at all the locations I recognized (that looks like the reservoir in Colts Neck!) and am annoyed at everyone who said it was a bad formulaic biopic, it was pretty good!!

My most woke comics opinion is that you don’t need to be “good” at drawing in any capacity to make them, as long as the reader understands what they’re seeing the way you *want* them to understand it, then you are successfully cartooning

I think I'm going to be opening up for commissions in the next couple weeks. Here's one I did almost a year ago. The request was "Darkwing Duck vs. Duckula."

My galleys arrived!

My stickers are here! MAKE ART EVERY DAY* *because you're over fifty and it's the only thing you've put all your effort into figuring out how to do. Going out to all members of my Monthly Minicomic Club in November, along with a brand-new 'zine about HAMILTON www.patreon.com/posts/hamilt...

omg can these squirrels go into hibernation already? I’m tired of all the barking and frantic leash pulling happening on every walk

My most strongly held comics opinion (I hesitate to say "opinion," because it's a fact): lettering should be the first finished thing done, not the last. Done after (or along with) roughs and finalized before pencils. Pencils and inking should be done AROUND the lettering.

What book are the galleys for, do you ask? Well, it's this one. Not due out until May 2026, but it's never too early to place a pre-order! I will not get mad www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/mike-...

I have arriving in the mail quite soon: Copies of my newest minicomics My newest stickers My ‘Zine Storage Boxes Galleys(!!!) of my new book!!!

A weird one is Sinners. At least the post-credits stuff starts quickly, so that folks who did get up to leave were prob not quite out the door before it happened. It all seems so integral to the story, but some people def watched it standing in the aisle holding their empty popcorn buckets and trash

If you were a kid, would you like the look of this?

Devilish milestone

Excellent video about recording ICE if you see them making an arrest. www.instagram.com/reel/DQzPIkA...

The filibuster is so fundamentally anti-democratic that forcing the authoritarian party to kill it so that they could keep taking health care and food away from Americans was probably the cleanest out from the damn thing, yet this Cones of Duneshire-ass opposition party loves rules more than wins.

One thing that I’ll never be able to forget, to show how evil Elon and every single one of his cronies are, is that they thought life saving nutritional paste that cost 30cents was too expensive. $40 could keep a child fully fed for over 2 months. He makes more than that per second, not even joking

I first started using InDesign when I started working digitally, at first just to manage images with different dpis. This cover tho, I actually built using the app. There’s a density and chaos to the woods here that I was able to achieve by drawing the elements separately and then stacking them

imagine a podcast that switches to video and you realize it's been recorded like this the whole time

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

To be honest I saw this and went "well, yeah, solid advice but what else is new," but then I read that footnote. THAT FOOTNOTE GAVE ME LIFE.

billionaires performatively moving out of nyc for a month:

I really rolled in it today and listened to a little bit of NJ AM Talk Radio while running errands. A big chunk of these people’s shock and surprise at the outcome has to be that they’ve fully convinced themselves that the only thing driving opposition to Trumpism is “mean tweets”

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

I haven't been on X for years now, but schadenfreude had me login last night to peek in on all my former NJ politics nemeses, and they're just absolutely trapped a phantom zone mirror prison, unable to comprehend how the world as it actually is can be so different from the one they've constructed

I've been wanting to start making more stickers for members of my Monthly Minicomic Club, so in November, I am! www.patreon.com/posts/make-a...

Zohran now has more wins in 2025 than the Jets.

This is a bad timeline, but there's another one where the majority of people approve of what's happening, and we can be grateful that that isn't the one we're in

Decision Desk has called the New Jersey governors race for Mikie Sherill. Yet another state where millions of dollars in anti trans ads didn't work.
