I ate way too much Kung Pao Ho Fun and then saw It’s a Wonderful Life on the big screen today. Not bad!

This Christmas, Cleveland parents Alex and Rachel Shaver are raising funds to help their sweet son J. move more independently at home. One act of kindness can change a child’s daily life. Learn more or donate here: helphopelive.org/campaign/265...

Metalhead Werewolf out here, hang a shining pentagram on the highest bough.

Finally pulled the trigger on subscribing to the PBS streaming app and it’s the best. Do many mysteries. I’m up to my eyes in Endeavour with 6 seasons of Lovejoy on deck.

Ran outta Gritmas cards so someone is getting a self portrait drawing instead.

Had to do some rugged wheelchair maintenance today and now I'll smell like PB Blaster for the rest of my life. The good news is I fixed my wheelchair.

I’ll post about this on Friday but I couldn’t NOT include @neorsd.org on this one.

I love this shit!

Gritmas 2025.

This time of year, my brain is always about 10% thinking about "Christmas Wrapping." I haven't heard the song yet in the wild, but it always excites me when I do. A few years ago, I wrote about the song's greatness! anniezaleski.substack.com/p/the-greatn...

Smell ya later Bloomington, Indiana!

Genghis Con was so good yesterday. I know I’m biased but I came home feeling so optimistic about comics in general and in Cleveland in particular.

Genghis Con Cleveland is tomorrow!! Brave the elements and come warm up with some comics and zines!

I did a poster for Heart Attack Man's NYE show and this band Pet Symmetry was on it. Their website has a super fun 8 bit video game on it called Earth is Fucked: www.petsymmetryband.com/earth-is-fuc...

My favorite excuse a client gives for not paying an invoice is "our computers are down".

Sometimes my Bluesky feed is 90% gibberish and I wonder if I’ve had a stroke.

Sometimes I wish I had a job so I could go on strike.

I think I’m gonna get into doing mad puzzles this winter.

One of my favorite themes is “making friends having adventures” and that’s what Predator Badlands is all about.

Just saw @realgdt.bsky.social’s Frankenstein in the theater for the fourth time. It just gets deeper and more beautiful, every time. My heart, it’s so full.

This is exceptional. @sarahkendzior.bsky.social is a must read.
