Various commissions from yesterday's GI Joe convention in Des Moines. Some familiar faces, but mostly a new audience for my work. Fun times with Ron Wagner. Plus, I randomly ran into my brother at an EMT convention on another level of the facility.

I'm hearing that The End Times (a short novel told in the form of a newspaper delivered over the course of a year) is printing its first edition today. You've still got a chance to sign yourself or a friend up with @badhandbooks.bsky.social right here : badhandbooks.com/preorders/th...

I did manage to snag this gorgeous Koi Pham Teen Titans penciled page. I thumbnailed it for DC way back when. I guess I prefer to see my storytelling handled by a better artist!

If the original art market bubble is going to burst, it will need to stop beating my ass first.

I just backed Sword of the War-Monster on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

I greet you with the news that I'll be attending CODENAME IOWA, a GI Joe convention in Des Moines this weekend. Not a Comicon per se, but it has comic makers like me, Larry Hama, and Ron Wagner as guests. Admission is free as heck!

A Kirby-tier creative designer and franchise midwife. And like Kirby, he should have been able to retire as a multimillionaire.

I can't say enough about the organizers and attendees of Twin Cities Con. Love downtown MPLS, the programming, the readers. A+

That Minnesota Luchador was a freebie!

THIS WEEKEND, you Lutefisk eating devils!

Here’s a preview of The Adventures of Lumen N. #3 (of 4) by James Robinson, @philhester.bsky.social, @marcdeering.bsky.social, Bill Crabtree from @darkhorse.com #DarkHorseComics #Comics #TheAdventuresOfLumenN www.buzzcomics.net/showpost.php...

You're telling me I will be in Minneapolis this time tomorrow? And that I'm already behind on commissions for a show that hasn't started yet? What a world!

Sometimes you draw for 10 hours and get 2 pages, and sometimes you get 2 panels.

My comics career and my marriage to a union woman both being 40 years long is not a coincidence.

My wife, watching Bride of Frankenstein for the first time, reaching the moment the bride sees the creature: "So it doesn't work out?"

Baseball rewards.

Gave out 120 full-size bars this year, but had to resort to Goldfish packs for the 10 after-hours stragglers, one of whom could be heard saying, "Full size candy bars, right," to her friend as they walked away. Full-size for the kids who come on time, Tragydeigh!

I hype this every year because it's actually the scariest pseudo-news broadcast ever, and a cool time capsule from 1972. One of the most viscerally unsettling things about it is the warped, underwater speaker sound of the easy listening muzak tracks. youtu.be/hXt0GEave-s?...

The theater I saw Frankenstein in (Film Scene, Iowa City) is fixing to screen two episodes of Twin Peaks back-to-back every week from the pilot through The Return. Ah, to have no responsibilities.

These are good, folks.

Many heartfelt moments in @realgdt.bsky.social masterful Frankenstein, but the moment I welled up was (no spoilers) when I saw the slatted light in the grist mill and wanted so badly for Bernie Wrightson to have lived to see it, too.

So soon!

Can you imagine studying for the bar exam knowing the country you’re in has absolutely zero laws?

Let me level with you all. Having a real job is the worst. Whatever keeps me out of that meat grinder is my idea of success.

If you are a weirdo like me, this will be right up your alley. Imagine the vibe of the classic story The Night Wire, but as a small town newspaper. badhandbooks.com/preorders/th...

It happened again! An artist 10x better than me is drawing a book I turned down. I might have one of those broken brains.

Found this buried in my collection the other day. I just think it's neat.

I'm a grown man. I swear.

The only use of Ai slop that I might countenance would be a feature that drops a personalized version of Ray Liotta's "Why did you do that, Karen?" rant from Goodfellas into your feed every time you pull a boner.

Pretty excited about Frankenstein. Been doing a good job avoiding trailers, etc.

Hey folks—late notice, but here’s a chance to grab an original #FantasticFour inkwash by me in a special #ComicsCuringCancer auction later today. Hop on it! You might score a deal! m.youtube.com/watch?v=9zli...

If you are in or near Fairfield, Iowa, I will be appearing at Wanderer's Haul this evening 4-?. Should be fun!

Getting closer! Desiree has been helping out HERO for some time now, so turnabout is fair play! gofund.me/af68c3e33

Every morning you have to check your status on the "Law binds, but does not protect/Protects, but does not bind" register.

Cruising through my recent dollar box Charlton haul and found a piece of art I own! I always thought this Pete Morisi Mr. Bones piece was a lettercol header or ad piece, but it was the splash of Ghost Manor #3! Fun to finally know its publication history.

My pal is selling off some stuff because... USA. Among them is this awesome Sakai commission! www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?i...

Cal Raleigh is one off-season of eating a pack of hot dog buns a day from becoming my favorite player.

Ol' @therightram.bsky.social spoiled it at the bad place, so have a peek. We dragged poor @andeparks.bsky.social out of ink-retirement to do a little New Gods vignette. Orion & Young Scott Free!

Just three days left in the Asner Family Center auctions. Some amazing stuff! Also, this Batman by @philhester.bsky.social and myself! comics.ha.com/c/search/res...

Couldn't use a Caterpillar at least?

A steal at twice the price!

Alex Toth cameo in Ghostly Tales. Art by Pete Morisi (PAM).

I'm a simple man.

Every Halloween time I have to be re-convinced the cinematic Dark Universe isn't a foolproof idea.

While I was shamelessly participating in the capitalist orgy of a Comicon, my Mom was No Kingsing it.
