Guess what - the third Saturday in September is Batman Day! That said, here's a Batman drawing inspired from those early Bob Kane and Bill Finger stories from the 1930s and 40s.

When someone comes up to me with their great idea, it's hard for me to really show any enthusiasm. It's the artist involved and the execution of the idea that gets me excited - the skill, draftsmanship, blood, sweat and tears that the writer/illustrator puts down on the page. That's what I enjoy.

Joe Kubert’s 1st Act was Tor, Hawkman, Sgt. Rock, Enemy Ace, etcetera all. His 2nd Act was the iconic Joe Kubert School. His 3rd Act, at age 65, was Graphic Novels. Link in the comments for more. And a thanks to marvelous Mark McMurray for the assist on this list.

Just came back from seeing jovial Jason Walz at Dreamhaven. You say you weren’t able to make it? First, you should be ashamed of yourself - but secondly, Dreamhaven has SIGNED COPIES of THE FLIP SIDE on sale NOW! A great book - a fantastic bookstore - it’s a win/win no matter how you look at it.

Popped into a random supermarket while waiting for bus in rural France and THIS was the comic book selection (and only part of it), the majority of titles I'd never even seen before. Magnifique.

Shelves full of french language comic books of all kinds.

I cannot stress enough: the AI bubble has already popped it is just being kept on life support by corporations trying to squeeze even a dollar more out of their shit investment, and tech bros doing the same before abandoning their shit company startups. keep hating on AI, you're winning

Tired of seeing people using AI to mimic (i.e. rip off) a popular artist's style for their book cover/advertisement/whatever. Can't draw or design yourself? Hire someone. And if you don't have the money to hire someone, using a program that steals from, then devalues an artist, is not the answer.

It’s official, Francesco’s inspiration for the “Dinosaurs in Upside-Down Cadillac Ranch” was a combination of the Cadillac Ranch in Texas and The Cabazon Dinosaurs in California (and their cameo in “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure”) – NOT the cadillacs and dinosaurs in Mark Schultz’s Xenozoic Tales. 😁

This is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*? From the press? From civic leaders? Pols?

FEMA said yes to Democratic disaster requests. Trump killed them anyway.

President Donald Trump cast aside bipartisan precedent when he rejected eligible disaster requests from four blue states.
