Yes. I thought it was a money grab at first, but now I really think it's all because Ellison wants people in Hollywood to kiss his ass.

When that doesn't work, he'll try the Sovereign Citizen defense.

I understand the thinking behind it. "Horror is hot! Let's do some!" Seems like it'll be short-lived, but creative people can do weird things.

Both ARROW & FLASH. Both had a few great seasons, then a couple that were ok, then just wandered. Oddly enough they still managed to do terrific cross-over events deep into their runs.

It's synergy. Efficiency. It's good economics. Put all the creative people in one place. Then fire half of them. Eliminate competitors who are now redundancies. Sell off the chaff. Then sell off the wheat. I get richer. See? Good economics. Plus people kiss my ass.

"It's been a great honor to be alongside all of you here at" -- checks stationery letterhead-- "Warner Brothers? Really? Anyhow, can I get somebody to help me carry this pile of cash to my car?"

Wonder if Doug Wildey channeled Baker for Jonny Quest's lizardmen.

It's been an "honor" for Zaslav to treat the studio that gave us Casablanca and Bugs Bunny as his wallet. Get lost.

So sad that the studio that gave us Casablanca and Bugs Bunny is nothing but a wallet for rich guys now

Is he going to call it "Russian Plague" like he referred to covid as the "Chinese flu"? I'm betting not.

I have to assume the GOP patriots will be scandalized that he isn't using the proper shades of red & blue from the flag, or that he didn't just slap a Punisher skull under the eagle.

Imagine a wide outbreak of pneumonic plague sourced in Russia. Now imagine a wide outbreak of pneumonic plague sourced in Russia with the Trump Administration as your protection. #blackdeath

Clay Griffith @claygriffith.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Totally agree. I still think the original Mangog story in Thor (154-157) is comparable to the Galactus trilogy in bringing all the character/setting threads together into a perfect distillation.

We're not far off. Our savior Jesus Christ will turn Islamic missiles to water to save all true Christians. If you get hit, you're a bad Christian and we don't want you anyway. We'll be sewing psalms into our fatigues as protective talismans (probably already doing that).

Sure, my grandparents kept acid for treating animal hides. I remember after my grandfather disappeared...oh wait

We are a few steps away from using magic to cover our inevitable defeat, like traditional societies facing technological organization/weaponry. We'll instruct our soldiers that prayer will protect them from enemy fire. If they die, it's because they failed God by not praying hard enough.

Ah. Then that's a whole other editor problem. I wonder if the project got canceled or the editor got fired. I've had both of those things happen too!

Clay Griffith @claygriffith.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Was it today? It's Friday. Editors cease to exist on Friday afternoons. I've had editors send notes on Friday, ask for quick turn around, and I reply back immediately with a question and they've got their "out of office" message on already.

I saw that it was going to be near 100 in San Diego. People in San Diego who are used to year-round 75-80 will go berserk.

This is the most the Atlanta Hawks have been discussed in the history of that franchise.

I'm listening to an audio book about Lewis & Clark and heard a reference to Lewis' "erotic chronometer." I guess those fellows were out west a loooooong time. Then I realized it was probably "erratic." Not nearly as interesting.

This is what you get when you hire the sons of donors who don't even want their sons working at their law firms back home.

Given the Admin's level of competence, I assume you can just ask "What is (insert name)'s Social Security number?" and it'll give it to you.

I don't want to say that Sen. Schmitt's office mail should be filled with Atlanta Hawks & Iowa Hawkeyes merch until the end of time, but I don't NOT want to say that.

Today is Fat Bear finals. 89 Backpack vs. 910. Both are first-time finalists & offspring of former champs. Both are large & could easily murder you. I'll vote 89 since my candidate, perennial also-ran 151 Walker, lost. explore.org/fat-bear-week

Exactly. Bobby Joe White Belt ain't writing that big booster check every year so some wide receiver can get paid. He's writing it so he can go to parties with the Athletic Director and have the ole ball coach shake his hand.

Loved Paul Smith! His punches had the dynamism of a good Gil Kane pow, but even the great Gil Kane sometimes had the punchee's head twisting the wrong way. Still, nothing better than the little Atom socking some goon and sending him flying.

That would be an interesting twist on Green Lantern's power, but it would lead to a lot of cosmic rule regulation. "That last thing was a green katana and this is a green machete. They're totally different!"

I wanted a machete for many years and when I finally bought one it was inferior. I was never so disappointed by a purchase in my life.

I thought his Ka-Zar work at the same time as early Conan was great too. Particularly when inked by Bill Everette and colored by whoever did this coloring.
