"In The Killing Joke, the Joker says to Batman: 'You had a bad day, and it drove you as crazy as everyone else! Only you won’t admit it! You have to keep pretending that life makes sense…' In essence, then, the Joker is telling you to stop taking your meds."

There’s an old joke, forever circulating, that the story of Batman is one of a billionaire beating up the mentally ill.

I can't describe how much I love this page. Ranson's work on BUTTON MAN was one of the first of a handful things that made me curious about comics outside the mainstream. Just amazing stuff.

F***ing hell.
Superman villain Bizarro in a rumpled top hat, smashing a podium while addressing a crowd of Bizarros, declaring “AND IF YOU VOTE FOR ME, ME PROMISE TO RAISE TAXES, ROB THE GOVERNMENT TREASURY AND GIVE ALL MY RELATIVES PLENTY GRAFT.” with the audience responding “HOORAY! THIS CANDIDATE SO DISHONEST ME VOTE FOR HIM SIX TIMES!”

I stumbled onto Keiichi Koike's ULTRA HEAVEN randomly in Japan nine years ago. Blew my mind. Finally, someone has translated it. Thanks, @lastgaspbooks.bsky.social ! Your oversized replica of the original is beautiful. Can't wait for the next two. Totally worth the long, long wait 🖤

Ukraine is sending aid to Syria in order to help prevent a food crisis. Zelensky called on global partners to assist in ensuring a stable peace in Syria. Kyiv launched the Grain From Ukraine initiative in fall 2022 - since then, the program has saved 20 million people from hunger.

Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McCay from December 13, 1908.
In this installment, Nemo puts on his hat and coat and goes to the roof to wait for Santa. He slips on the snow and almost falls off but ends up dangling off the side of the house. As he hangs there, we can seen Santa and his reindeer land on the roof and then Santa goes in to deliver presents. Nemo slowly gets covered in snow and ice until we can’t see him. He finally falls, and the ice is shattered when he hits the ground. The story ends with Nemo waking up on the floor next to his bed.

A Christmas card by Milton Caniff, which is a slightly modified take on a panel from the Terry & the Pirates comic strip.
On a darky, snowy evening, a Christmas celebration can be scene through a lighted window. Outside, someone holding a Christmas present is about to arrive and join the gathering.

The thing I like about comics is that they are the greatest visual story telling form ever invented and nothing comes even close to level of pure human communication and they are used to make some of the dumbest shit you ever set eyes on.

There's so much talk about the importance of a knock-out first issue, and that's true. But I'd argue if you tank a second issue, you're likely just as stuffed. What an incredible example ABSOLUTE BATMAN is for a #2. Synder, Dragotta and Martin are just killing it. Palpable energy and care.

Watch The Hitch-Hiker by Ida Lupino (the Only Female Director of a 1950s Noir Film)
In our enlightened times, film directing has become a reasonably open profession, admitting men, women, and — given the plummeting cost of production equipment — children alike.
