In my modern remake, the thing that brought Charles Foster Kane joy in his youth wasn't a dumb sled, it was the DVD box set of The Simpsons season four.

I am probably the only person who wrote online about the Flash Foster story from Young Men #22 this month. I give you my personal guarantee that that is probably true: www.bookofpdr.com/2026/09/25/y...

A splash page from a comic titled "Flash Foster and his High-Gear Hot-Shots!" If shows a young teenager racing a yellow hot rod down a track with other cars coming up behind him as his friends watch from the sides. With a "BANG!" one of his tires is bursting.

What are your house rules for chess? Among my group, when you land on the danger square you have to roll to see if you can collect the bishop's treasure. Anyone else have rules like that?

This movie needed more Star Wars to justify the title. I count one Star War and one mention if a Clone War, which we could not at that time be certain was a Star War. Do not go in expecting many Star Wars.

My “1993” style pinup of the characters from the 1963 miniseries by Moore, Bissette, Veitch, Gibbons, Simpson, Brown, & Valentino, done for @cosmiclion.bsky.social’s GIANT-SIZE ‘63 jam project. 1963 is one of my all-time favourite comics, and I would love to draw all these guys again some time.

Does no one else find this an unforgivably stupid question? Emissions reductions won't make a heat wave NOW survivable. Likewise, more homes can have AC, heat pumps while overall cutting greenhouse emissions. This isn't an "either/or", both are needed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I've always had an interest in the comic books era between WW2 and the '60s, when superheroes were out of fashion and other genres had room to grow. It didn't always work out for the best. Here's a look at the first Flash Foster and his High-Gear Hot-Shots story. www.bookofpdr.com/2026/08/22/y...

"If you don't use AI you'll get left behind" Brother I've sent emails from a Super Nintendo, I fucking love getting left behind

Photo of a CRT monitor next to a Super Famicom console with an XBAND modem inserted. The monitor's screen shows the XBAND's email composing screen. The message being composed has the subject line "I'm writing from a snes :00" and is addressed at a user named "フフフ".

Screenshot of the email composing screen from the previous photo.

Screenshot of the bsnes-plus Super Nintendo emulator open on Ubuntu. The game loaded is identified as "X-Band Modem BIOS (J)" and the emulator window shows the XBAND email inbox screen. There are two emails: one from user "mrmxy" with the subject line "i'm writing from a snes :0" and one from "System" with the subject line "Welcome!!" Behind the emulator window is a terminal window showing the emulator's log (indicating emulated modem activity) and a file explorer window with some Super Nintendo ROMs and save files.
