For Dr. John’s birthday: a picture I took in 2013 of me, my buddy Walt (aka Lonesome Leash) and Mac while we were taking a white-knuckle car ride down the Westside Highway. It was scary as hell, but we survived and I miss my friend Mac and his crazy phone calls every day. Dude was HILARIOUS.

Ma'am, you have nailed this whole shitshow in a single sentence. Bravo! h/t @bruceadams.bsky.social

This is going to be a fun announcement when it’s actually announced, I promise!

Thanksgiving conversation gonna be real quiet this year.

It was an open-face and shut case.

Sandwich guy isn’t a po’ boy, he’s actually a hero.

Once more, for old times’ sake

Tonight in a bar New Orleans, a virulently anti-Mamdani Trumper spouted some seriously racist shit and invited me to debate him and it was a pleasure to tell him to shut the fuck up and take his drunk ass home.

Simply one of the most haunting and beautiful songs I've ever heard.

In honor of Halloween and @realgdt.bsky.social’s masterpiece, here’s a film that doesn’t exist, but SHOULD.

Making comics a great and all, but it's not an easy business to exist in. We are all fighting all kinds of battles. It can be the grueling marketplace, health issues, creative hurdles, and the bad actors in the industry. Some people hold the keys to some lucrative and consistent work.

In honor of Halloween and @realgdt.bsky.social’s masterpiece, here’s a film that doesn’t exist, but SHOULD.

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit "We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

Wait ‘til they find out that Carmy and Richie aren’t really blood cousins.

Shamelessly sold as Poe, a magnificent adaption of H.P Lovecrafts The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Cracking cast but Cthulhu's cameo steals it. 1963 #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #vincentprice

Took my 12 year-old aspiring writer-director to see @realgdt.bsky.social’s Frankenstein last night, and as the credits rolled, his review was this: “It made me excited about making films.” Boy howdy did that give me hope for the world.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

More from the scene

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."

Vile, Wrecked & Rotten has been announced! I wrote this musical graphic novel with Steve Burns, aka “Steve from Blue’s Clues,” aka one of my best friends, and it’s being illustrated by my dude @jimcampbellart.bsky.social, whose work you might know from an obscure tv show called Over the Garden Wall.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

"Pity the nation whose leaders are liars."

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Marvel should resurrect Star Comics and DC should do the equivalent. Seriously. Have an entire line of comics expressly for kids but not pandering, easily identifiable by the branding (oh, how I hate that word), and supported by actual, you know, support and marketing and such.

I can’t find the video but in Feb a man named Joe Stutler was at an Iowa Legislature session and spoke to defend trans rights. He has a funny delivery—a little nasal—and kept saying, “You’re doing the Nazi stuff again!” I keep hearing his voice echo in my head. www.legis.iowa.gov/committees/p...

For the evening/west coast crowd: AVAILABLE NOW! THE OCTOBER GIRL Book One! From me and @maverickogn.bsky.social #YAGraphicNovels #TheOctoberGirl #MadCaveStudios

The details in this article are depressingly accurate.

Bring back stylised exteriors created and shot on sound stages, I say...

Sorry, but “history” proves mass nonviolent community protests NEVER work. The ONLY thing that can bring people together is reading my miserable posts. Smiling people hugging in the sunshine accomplishes NOTHING. Reading my punishing content, indoors and alone, is the only path forward.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

Tomorrow, a story that’s been living in my head for 35 years will finally be out in the world. And it’s just the beginning. THE OCTOBER GIRL Book One. October 21st, 2025. From me and @maverickogn.bsky.social #YAGraphicNovels #TheOctoberGirl #MadCaveStudios

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Jimmy Olsen’s Supercyclopedia by Gabe Soria and Sandy Jarrel. A super-powerful book is central as the sinister Toy Boy creates an army of super-villains. Multiverse-spanning fun and action as Superman’s pal fights the good fight. 8-24-25.

Going to make a thread of free software that's useful for making zines (writing, illustrating, image processing, laying out, publishing...) Different operating systems. Let's go...

New Orleans No Kings rally is big as hell AND has beer. Fuck yeah.

Peak dialogue. Modern writers would never dare...

Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are steps you can take to evade it.

Might be getting this slightly fuzzy, but an editor at DC told me that next to the Legion, the book that almost every creative seemed to ask about doing was Atari Force. This was after I asked if I could do an Atari Force book. Yeah, it was GOOD.

I truly hate the pessimism and negativity around the No Kings protests that I’ve seen on other social media sites. Like do you think you get people to go from politically disengaged to radicals overnight? Does it mean nothing that these protests are happening in red areas too?

Three reasons for hope from @vermontgmg.bsky.social: 1. People — There are more of us than there are of them. 2. History — America’s progress has always been imperfect. 3. Actuarial — Trump won’t last forever, which means “Trumpism” will fall. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/why-i-have...

Looks like the Internet has come up with a name for my one of my favourite film categories: dreamcore.
