There’s something to love in every panel, but this, for me, is the unexpected delight.

Swan Boy’s beautiful dream cloud of meeting Elvis as a waiter broken apart by the real waiter’s appearance. The despair, the desperation of Elvis shown as he tries to return across the dissipating smaller clouds.

Hi! I just got mine and while I love what I can read of it, it came seriously busted. I know this is a limited run, but is there a way I can get a replacement?

Looks rad as hell to me

Same image as root post, crudely overlayed with black boxes to only show the 666 price for gas and 69 price for diesel

I just… I could have sworn

Another cropped photo of the same house, but of a similar room without the doll.

It’s got great bones (in the walls (because the spirit inhabiting the doll puts the bodies in there))

A doll leaned standing against the corner of a dilapidated room, walls yellowed and peeling with age and neglect. Not creepy at all. Great vibes.

Love the coloration on this bit right here

cropped bit of the root illustration of lemons, focused on wheee there’s a little darker bit of fruit that a brown-with-purple-hue almost-caramelized, oxidized sugar kinda look to it. Well conveyed without overdoing it.

My partner and I are celebrating our 20th anniversary and tbh this is our secret. She’s gotten into pottery this past year and is now making little ceramic cats for friends and as purchasable items for local abortion provider fundathons.

I think the part that gets me the most is corporate mandating the term sol instead of day. Have a nice sol? gtfo with that noise.

Re-watching Tales from the Crypt from the first time in decades (thanks, @shudder.com!) and it’s still so, so good. So glad I got to experience the good news at @overlookfilmfest.bsky.social this year.

The end of the Overlook Film Festival line parade in New Orleans, with grand marshal John Kassir (voice of the Cryptkeeper). He is in a red convertible sitting beside the Crypt Keeper model, surrounded on all sides by parade goers. I’m in the crowd.

A still from an episode of Tales from the Crypt season 1, where a child is telling their stepfather goodnight from stairs in the background of the scene. In the foreground is the stepfather’s face, comically dead as a result of having a poker skewer his skull. This is not visible to the child.

Lea Thompson in S1 of Tales from the Crypt playing a sex worker. She’s telling a prospective pimp “You touch me again, I’ll shoot your dick off.”

This threat becomes real like five minutes later in the episode because subtlety is for cowards.

The episode immediately after a baby Demi Moore, Arnold Schwarzenegger in S2 of Tales from the Crypt. His arm is around an exercising Crypt Keeper as he introduces this week’s episode, “The Switch.” In addition to being a banger, it was also his directorial debut (Arnold’s, not the Crypt Keeper’s).

He’s wearing a Tales from the Crypt t-shirt I would live to find for sale but cannot. If you find this and like me I will venmo you a finder’s fee.

Every moderate Democrat, thinking they can outplay their ideological enemies through appeasement.

The Arrested Development meme of

“did it work for those people?”
“no, it never does…but it might work for us.”

Thinking of @socialistdogmom.bsky.social ‘s comments about cardinal families as one of our own came up to say hi

Two cardinals, a courting pair, sitting right outside our sliding glass doors onto the deck (littered with treestuff). The male cardinal has been scrounging the treestuff for seeds to offer to the female as part of courtship feeding.

1. For some reason the character design from the game Haze got stuck in my head despite never playing it. 2. Innsmouth Priest, only fit to justify those legs. 3. BBEG’s too-cool lieutenant in a martial arts film, default fit anytime I could justify it. 4. Most realistic hunter kit.
