I loved The Odyssey, but there was one unintentionally funny thing to me...by about the third time Odysseus and his crew are being chased back to the boat by Something Horrible, I couldn't help but hear King Arthur from Holy Grail, yelling, "RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!!"

When the definitive book about the Trump Era finally comes out, what should it be called? I'll go first: "A Song of Vice and Liars"

You know when Wile E. Coyote crawls out from under a boulder and he's an accordion, or he's blown himself up and he's just a pile of ash with eyeballs on top? And then in the next scene he's fine? You never see the part where reconstitutes himself and gets back to normal. That's where I'm at today.

As a GenXer, I want to take a moment to applaud Gen Alpha for driving everybody crazy with this "6-7" shit. Don't know what it means. Don't care. But it's really bugging a lot of people way too much, and as a member of one of the original disruptive generations, I am here for that. Nice work.

Been thinking a lot lately about things that made us happy when we were kids, and I thought about how, while I'm technically a child of the 70s, I feel like I'm also a child of the 80s and 90s. And I realized that one of GenX's greatest acts of rebellion was...

I want a Star Trek series that follows a group of people who believe in Starfleet's underlying ideals, but the more militaristic post-Dominion-War Starfleet has turned its back on them. Fate makes them a crew, and they make their way in a darker galaxy while trying to do good and uphold their ideals

#writing Bluesky can't do polls, so I'll just ask: Do you work on only one project at a time? 1. One at a time. Any other projects get locked in a drawer until the current one is finished. 2. Mostly one project, occasionally dipping into others. 3. I never know which project I'm going to work on!

#DeathofSuperman #DC Another thing I forgot is that in the final issue, no pages are divided into panels - every page is a single panel, which is an amazingly cinematic effect. And then of course, that final gatefold:

The two-page spread of Lois holding Superman, telling him he's done it, he's saved everyone...

The final, three-page foldout spread, where Superman finally perishes.

#DeathofSuperman #DC Oh, man, when I saw this frame, it all came flooding into my head like Neo learning Kung Fu: Lex has red hear and a beard because he was dying of kryptonite poisoning and he transplanted his brain into a young clone who pretended to be good, and that Supergirl is actually a...

Red-headed and red-bearded Lex Luthor II, actually Lex's brain in a young clone body pretending to be Lex's son, and also pretending to be good, and Supergirl from another universe that was destroyed in Crisis on Infinite Earths, who is not Kryptonian, but a protoplasmic shapeshifting artificial life form created by the good Lex Luthor of her home universe.

Guardian has the nerve to show up after a big battle and shame Superman about all the violence and destruction. Like, where were YOU? Supes does get him back next issue though, when Guardian apologies for being late: "That's okay. You would have been totally worthless anyways."

Guardian comes to the aid of Superman and Maxim, and is pretty judgy.

"Sorry I didnt get here sooner, Superman." "I doubt that you could have helped us avoid this, Guardian."
