I'm a few hours into Control Resonant, and I think my favorite aspect are the low stakes little side missions, where Dylan has to tidy up a setting that then inspires him to draw in his sketchbook. Taking a break from the horrors of the ongoing apocalypse to get some lighthearted sketching done.

We're screening HIGHLANDER for free at 7pm at the Ojai Playhouse tomorrow night in honor of my dad, one of the original film's co-writers. I have no sense of whether any Bluesky people are actually In My Area, but you're invited! ojaiplayhouse.com/event/highla...

A poster showing deep blue and black art from the 40th anniversary release of Highlander. Text reads "Free screening in memory of Peter Bellwood: Highlander, Ojai Playhouse, Tuesday, 9/29, 7pm. Reserve seats at ojaiplayhouse.com"

A film photograph of a cinema marquee showing Bronson Murphy's Law, Walt Disney Cinderella, and Highlander: there can be only one. On the sidewalk in front of the cinema, Peter Bellwood leans against a lamppost. He has a shock of white hair and looks uncharacteristically cool.

Hobbit Day (the shared birthday of the intergenerational Baggins boys) was yesterday, but I didn't post any hobbits! So here are some of the ones drawn up as part of the absurdly big LOTR set I've been doing this year, plus honorary hobbit Gandalf.

Watercolored drawings, with named bases, for the story-consequential hobbits present in the first half of FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, and also Gandalf.

I've been tinkering with a plot for the last few days, heading way too far in the wrong direction again and again before scrapping it all and starting over, only for the whole thing to fall out of my head fully formed while I was in the shower this morning. Cut to me in a towel scribbling furiously.

FYI, from Toocheke. They added a Tapas migration feature.

A screenshot of an email that says

Import Your Tapas.io Comics Into WordPress
You may have seen the news about Tapas shutting down. If you or anyone you know publish there, you’re probably wondering what happens to all of your comics and years of work.

We’ve just added a new import feature to Toocheke Companion (available in version 2.23+) that can move an entire Tapas series into WordPress for you — including episodes, images, thumbnails, and original publish dates.

It keeps everything in order, so you don’t have to manually copy and paste hundreds of pages.

Sure, I've taken a couple of breaks since this morning to play a bit of Control Resonant here and there, but the fact that I'm getting any work done today with it installed on my PS5 means I deserve some kind of gold star for professionalism.

And I'm willing to lay odds that these same ghouls are in favor of returning to the age of "pre-existing conditions," in which filing a claim on your insurance meant that you could be DENIED future coverage if you ever had to switch providers.

Chris Roberson @chrisroberson.net · 22/09/2026

I don't want to spend any more time wondering about the thought processes of these soulless ghouls than I have to, but if you have health insurance and never file a claim, what exactly is the "fraud" that you potentially could be committing?
