The worst thing in the world is getting excited about someone and thinking they match that energy back in your direction only to have them fade away. That’s when the questions start in your head… Were they ever really that into you? Did you do something that turned them off?

You ain’t wrong but I was just talking about the quality of the actual service.

Does anyone still make/use microfiche? Or has that shit all been digitized now? How many people do I know who are too young to even know what microfiche is/was?

And I think the copies of Last Mammal are good enough to get 9.9s. I wonder if anyone would be interested in buying a slabbed copy of one of my books. I think that I’ll offer up a CGC graded copy of my next project as a reward tier when I Kickstarter it.

The Wonder Woman, featuring that iconic Brian Bolland cover, was Lee Moder’s first issue as penciller on the series. I found a copy, last year, that Lee had signed at a con back in 1994. Regardless of the grade it gets, it’ll be cool to have it slabbed and certified.

I submitted a handful of comics to Be graded by CGC last weekend and I’m already ridiculously eager to get them back. Wonder Woman Vol.2, Iss.72 Absolute Batman 1 Star Wars (Marvel 1977) 1 Amazing Spider-Man 601 Ghost Rider Vol.1, Iss.1 and three copies of my own book, Last Mammal on Earth.

If there’s a god, then how come there’s not zero sugar rhubarb soda on this crappy planet? Dry Soda Co used to have a really excellent rhubarb soda but not sugar free and the whole company shut down back in January.

Ted Lasso Season 4 is growing on me but I still think it was unnecessary. Luckily, “cash grab” and “good” aren’t always mutually exclusive.

I don’t wish harm on my enemies. I wish them well as long as it happens far away from me. But I will twirl myself dizzy doing a merry f@#$ing dance the day that orange nightmare finally shuffles off this mortal coil. I hate that this is the world we live in. abcnews.com/video/135852...

Tonight, a child at a wrestling show I was on booed me. I got real close to him and said “nobody likes you and Santa told me he’s never bringing you presents ever again.” WHY WOULD I EVER RETIRE FROM WRESTLING? I’m not allowed to say that kind of poop at comic cons. My evil needs an outlet!!!

I watched a trailer for what I already guessed was going to be a shitty movie and it outdid itself by having Matt Rife as the second-billed star.

In my middle age, I struggle to care about pro sports. Occasionally watch and enjoy? Sure. But to study up on or invest emotion in them? Nope. And there’s a list of reasons: Gary Bettman Aaron Rodgers Sophie Cunningham FIFA Dana White Conor MacGregor The Tkachuk Bros and the list goes on and on.

The most Toronto boomer joke I can make is to say I’ve written a play about two guys getting drunk and talking while they wait in an empty bar for their favourite musician to come onstage. It’s called “Waiting for Goddo”. If you get this joke WITHOUT the help of Google, how bad is YOUR arthritis?

Sometimes you find out someone you don't like created some music or wrote a book or something... and you still don't like them and you think what they created is mid-tier garbage... put you gain just a little respect for them for actually making something.

Well, that’s a new one. Two young women stopped by my Artist Alley table and I told them about Heroes of Homeroom C. They leaf through the book and one of them says “that’s a lot of words”. Yeah… it’s a book. 🤣

Feeling like a big ol’ smarty pants right now because I’m taking the train to Montreal tomorrow and I’m packing myself a lunchbox. Large Cobb salad and little mason jar of pickles so far. Need to add a couple of bottles of water, possibly refill my flask. 🚂 🍽️ 🍸

Why are we still calling it a “ceasefire” when they keep launching missiles at each other? On a TOTALLY UNRELATED topic, Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution provides for the VP and Cabinet to go to Congress and declare the President unfit to discharge his duties. Just sayin’…

If I yell “Rabbit Season” on the crowded show floor of a busy comic convention, will my fellow nerds respond with “Duck Season”? I’m only asking because I’m bored of “Marco Polo”.

How did make it to my mid-frigging-fifties? It really feels like this was a longshot. I’m gonna chalk it up to dumb luck and good friends and family because it certainly wasn’t clean living and hard work.
