Emily was so excited to see that the Legend John Jennings (she asked us to say it that way) had a short window for character commissions, she felt we all needed some joy. Her request: GHOST LIGHT does whatever he and the artist most want. She hopes you'll enjoy the result. @jijennings.bsky.social

Character GHOST LIGHT over a gorgeous abstract background of anger and a starry sky is making two fists, one of which is punching into a little teal light starlight of its own situation.

I’m teaching with the #graphicnovel adaptation of Parable of the Sower. So frightening to see all of what @jijennings.bsky.social Damian Duffy & @oebsociety.bsky.social shows in real time. The impotence of Schumer & other geriatric dem leadership is exhausting

If you’ve read EC Comics, you know about the importance of “Judgment Day,” but do you also know that they dealt with issues of race even in stories such as “The Green Thing”? @cbccpodcast.bsky.social @jijennings.bsky.social interminablerambling.medium.com/contaminated...

I reviewed OPUS, which I liked quite a bit. Not a perfect movie, in fact it has some pretty pronounced and serious flaws, but Malkovich is a delight and the stuff about the parasitic/symbiotic relationship between criticism and art is surprisingly nuanced. www.patreon.com/posts/134036...
