And that’s that! Now to sit back and enjoy @danschkade.bsky.social’s strip while he does ALL of the work. Dan’s a force of nature, I have no idea how he sustains the output by himself, and keep it consistently great at the same time

I've been reading a lot of Golden Age superhero stories recently & thinking about how the good guys used to fight the real ills of society but now so many stories involve nonsense cosmic threats with no meaningful stakes. Lavender Jack feels like a return to the roots of superhero comics (& pulps).

Lavender Jack confronts the corrupt ruling elite and warns them he's watching them.

Batman confronts the corrupt ruling elite and warns them he's watching them.

(I know it's not from the Golden Age but it's telling that Batman Year One is one of the most fondly remembered and critically acclaimed Batman stories and it essentially boils down to Batman fighting corrupt cops and politicians with (almost) no supervillains.)

It’s absolutely bonkers how often they set him up with a complete softball and he’s like, “Yeah, the thing is, I don’t care about other people. Like, at all. LOL.’

Rereading Flash Gordon by @danschkade.bsky.social from the start and I am yet again struck by the perfection of the comic strip form, the combination of art, color and text. The dialogue is flawless. Here is the first strip, bookmark and read later. Trust me. comicskingdom.com/flash-gordon...

If you’re having trouble telling them apart, Geese sounds like the members of the Strokes were drafted into Pavement against their will, and Goose sounds like 4 CPAs were hired to form a jam band sponsored by Whole Foods.

WEDNESDAY EVENING BONUS: My designs for the dragonman uniforms. At first I played around with a more 70s American GI look (green clothes and gear, etc) but that almost immediately turned into Rogue Trooper, so I pivoted into the dark fantasy Kira vibe instead. It's where they're from, after all.

My costume designs for the Dragonmen uniforms in the current FLASH GORDON storyline, one for the older, higher-ranking guards and one for the rookies.

Whole Mar-a-Lago set up and ambience is so desperately dated, and trying to resurrect the cocaine 70s/80s. A scream of petulance as these rich boomers claw at the lives they lost decades ago.

Remember, Christians, The Rapture is not in the Bible. It’s a concept from New York City and It dates back only to 1998, when Mattie Safer and Luke Jenner formed a dance/punk band and became popular during the “electro” craze with songs like “No Sex For Ben” youtu.be/m0CAJqCT5ds?...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Small Town MAGAs hate cities not because of “crime” but because cities take all their sons and daughters the moment they graduate from college - just like if they had to send them off to get eaten by the Minotaur. Becuase of its opportunities, the city is the rural child-gobbler they can’t defeat.

This is one of the best pulp crime fighter style comics I’ve ever read and it’s a pretty cool alternate history story too. Read it now for free on webtoona and then pick up the book. And if you’re not reading his Edgar Rice Burroughs meets Raymond Chandler take on Flash Gordon you’re missing out

I see you, Flash Gordon.

"Before they can leave, somehow the Ice Rangers are informed of Bok's presence."

"They claim he's an enemy of the queen."

"But the house of Loznich does not give up its guests to men in masks."

"Perhaps there will be consequences to our actions here. No matter."

"Frigia does not forget its heroes."

The unitary executive can set the curriculum at Harvard, order the owners to change the names of professional sports teams, throw his enemies in prison, close a Cabinet-level Department, but he is powerless to ask the sycophants he put in place in the FBI and DOJ to release the Epstein files.
