"A comic book that seems to always be on fire... SPACE GHOST offers an exciting two-part story with a cliffhanger ending sure to bring readers back for more." Thanks so much to @leroyql.bsky.social for this kind review of SPACE GHOST VOL. 2 #4, in comics shops everywhere!

My CPR skills are amateur at best*, but if you’re looking to hire a writer… or an editor/consultant for your project… there’s no time like the present. *it makes sense if you read the newsletter, (for free.)

I posted this one in the middle of the night, and I thought it might be worth prime time placement.

PPS: I just remembered I did a short film where I voiced a character using a Sean Connery impression. My costars are @robertpicardo.bsky.social and Tim Russ, though I was only in the booth and not on set. If you’re VERY bored, give it a watch… youtu.be/Xm7tTrJG-ak?...

I would like to believe in rehabilitation. And I imagine a lot of these guys didn’t start out as evil people. But once you’ve been part of something like this, I think you are probably past saving and should be carved out of society on a permanent basis

I still see people — smart, moral people — defend Woody Allen in the year 2025. The man is garbage. He’s been confessing since at least MANHATTAN, in 1979, and you refuse to listen to him.

I was thinking about the fact that a majority of Americans are living this joke every day now. As an aside, this really sounds like it was originally about Stalin. I wonder where it comes from.

A nice list. And even one of these things helps enormously.

22 years ago, almost to the minute, I administered the daily dose of morphine to my mother. I kissed her head and whispered in her ear that I loved her very much and she would never be forgotten. It was the worst night of my life, and I thought it might be the last of hers. It was. 1/?

Posted this around midnight, but just in case the daytime crew is interested in a few thoughts on grief…

At the theater for opening night of MRS. CHRISTMAS, a musical my wife @pennystarrjr.bsky.social costume designed. Always so proud of her.

“I am disappointed to discover that my work is unsatisfactory to the man who threw Harvey Weinstein a bachelor party in 2007, a decade after his then-girlfriend Mira Sorvino told him about Weinstein’s multiple incidents of sexual harassment of her.”

Free advice: if you find Quentin Tarantino bashing you in the press… repeat after me. “I was unaware that Harvey Weinstein’s best friend was so critical of me and my work.”

A quote post of a quote post? Sure. Looking for an editor to help you whip your script or comic or book into shape? I’m available, and have forty years experience (sigh, it’s true) in writing across every medium. Reasonable rates and turnaround times…

A lot of ham sandwiches are jealous of Letitia James today.

I’m pretty sure that the “foreign country” these people think we’re more loyal to isn’t Italy. It’s Vatican City. I’m not kidding. Not even a little bit.

This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: Cold As ICE

Making Adm. Bradley the fall guy in the Administration’s “Protect Pete” campaign is disgraceful & destructive. It signals to military professionals down the ranks they’ll be thrown under the bus for lawbreaking by Hegseth & other political leaders.

It’s not the worst — it’s a misunderstood medium and whatnot — but when I say “I write comic books,” the near-universal response is “so… you draw…?” Often I am standing near a large banner that says DAVID AVALLONE: WRITER on it.

I had an editor tease me for referring to the letterer by name in a note on a script before we had hired him or even talked about it. It was something like “TAYLOR give me some kind of radio effect here.” Pick your whole team. Open doors for people. Say their names in rooms of opportunity.

Recent circumstances have made me an unreliable comics reviewer incapable of being timely. But I do have a new "Negromancer" blog #comics #review focusing on a title from @dynamitecomics.bsky.social, @gregpak.net, Eder Messias, Thyago Brandao, and Jeff Eckleberry: www.negromancer.com/2025/11/revi...

So, like, this isn’t even my rant. This is just, like, what is true. The annual salary of approximately 1,500 faculty members is caught up in buyout/guarantee money for two football coaches. This is happening in the midst of hiring freezes and dramatic budget cuts in academic units. It’s just true.

My latest "Negromancer" blog #movie #review is another catch-up special. From Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, here is www.negromancer.com/2025/11/jura...

I agree with Ryan Grim here, but I'm pretty sure I'm applying a VERY different and specific definition of "bottom" and "top" here. Trump is a bossy bottom and always has been. The world is on fire largely because Vladimir Putin figured that out long before any American politician did.

It's been said by many already, but I will say it again: @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social is not just a store, it's a community and an inspiration and some of the best people you'll ever meet. And right now, they need our help: www.gofundme.com/f/keep-books...

Surprisingly enough, the horse’s name was Bubba.

Choose your bubba

“BUBBA!”

Gonna have to side with Captain James T. Kirk on this one.
