I want to see everyone complicit in this administration crucified and lining Pennsylvania Avenue between the Capitol and White House. Horrible, horrible excuses for human beings. Disgusting and deplorable. When the Democrats win, we expect much from them.

We could’ve had a woman who prosecuted rapists as a president. Instead, we got a rapist as a president.

I heard my Afghan outside, howling. Figured the neighbors would not appreciate it, so I went to get him. He was sitting with his nose pointed at the moon, singing away. I’ve noted before, I have never had a dog who spends so much time staring at the sky.

I cannot support him for President. He’s selling people out left and right.

He is not a doctor and it is about time people start yelling that at him. Practicing medicine without a license is a criminal offense in most places. The world will be a better place when that stinking ambulatory sack of excrement dies.

Saw Hugh Jackman surprise duet with Sutton Foster tonight at the season opener at The Soraya tonight. The woman in front of me quickly checked her phone to see for sure that’s who it was. I got a tip there “might” be a surprise guest so I was glad I had a ticket.

It’s Batman Day.
Line drawing of Batman’s head in the bat cowl, drawn by some-times Batman writer and editor Len Wein in 2008. Most likely a sketch done for a fan at SDCC.

I watched Harlan Ellison sit at the feet of Jerry Robinson, totally geeking out, in my living room on Twelfth Night.

As I listen to the attacks 🍊🐖 makes on reporters, I know he is so stupid he is just repeating things his parents said to him “ You are so stupid. You never listen. That’s why you are stupid: you never listen. Piggy.” I look forward to his painful death. Preferably sooner rather than later.

It wasn’t Marvel that had Cap’s shield made, it was Mark Gruenwald. Fabian and others are trying to get credit for Mark out there. And maybe his widow would like the shield returned to her. I know I would.

In memory of my first editor & other mentor, Len Wein & my first time drawing one of my childhood favs, GREEN LANTERN HAL JORDAN. While waiting to take over JLA, Len had me pencil a few GL short pieces & this was the first. Wished I'd gotten to draw JOHN STEWART too but that wasn't in the plans.

We started a trade war with these people because the president, who has some sort of degenerative brain disease with visible bruises on his hand's injection site that the press doesn't talk about, was bored.

Today, September 10, is the 9th anniversary of Len Wein’s death. It is gratifying to me to see that many fans and friends have kindly noted the day with good stories. Len would have preferred to live on in our house, but it is nice that he lives on in his work.

Saw two more idiots decide they were mire important than red lights and ducked around a stopped vehicle to barrel through an intersection. Once was across Wilshire at Beverly Glen and the other was on Sepulveda heading north. Where the hell are cops when you need them?

Back from LAcon V. Very disappointed the convention pulled the rug out from Go Fact Yourself over some fucking last-minute rule against using Zoom (our surprise experts could not be there in person, as sometimes happens) & even though we were bringing in our own tech and equipment, logic lost.

I will be interviewing LAconV GOH Barbara Hambly at NOON today in ACC North 255. I know there’s a lot of counter programing, but please come fill up the room for Barbara.

My favorite Dolly moment and quote was the night she arrived on stage at an awards stage, delayed because she split her dress. “My daddy always said ‘that’s what happens when you put 10 pounds of potatoes in a 5 pound sack.’” She could laugh at herself.

In two weeks, I will be at LAConV. I have several panels. The big one for the convention is Friday at noon, when I will interview Guest of Honor Barbara Hambly. Spent lunch doing some research about my friend of almost 40 years, and I’ve got a rough outline of ground to cover. Should be fun.

These ignoramuses are NOT DOCTORS. They are IGNORING real doctors. They want to decrease the surplus population, in Dickens’ words, so there is more for them. Just when I think I can’t be more outraged, here we are. Got my kid all the vaccines that did not exist for me. He never got those diseases.

This is about controlling girls and women. They should defeat this overwhelmingly. Also, who gets to pay for this? It’s probably also designed to keep the poors from participating. God forbid they have a potential path out of poverty.

Oh, such sad news for the horse world. I visited his ranch twice, once with a large group from LA Pierce College, so I got to meet him and watch him do a demonstration. I have photos somewhere, but the memory of watching Monte gentle a horse is what is important. RIP Monte Roberts.

Abusers are cleaver. They’re manipulation & bullying experts while hiding behind face-charm to gaslight those outside their prefered targets. There is a perfect example of a convicted abuser living in the White House. How many more will be put in powerful position? Stop the Scammers. #VOTE🇺🇸 #Truth

If you are at SDCC, I will be on the Gerry Conway Memorial Panel at 8 tonight (Saturday) in room 3 of the convention center. That’s on the second floor, the Marriott end of things. Come listen yo stories about Gerry, share a few laughs and tears.

$75/night to park my car in the hotel I’m paying around $500/night with fees to stay is an outrage. I do prefer the train to San Diego, which was not an option this year. Next year, absolutely, if I come back. Had lunch at a recently-opened Gaslamp place that did not know it could fleece SDCC folks.

Quite honored that Barbara Hambly asked me to interview her in lieu of a Guest of Honor speech at LAcon next month. It is tentatively scheduled for Friday afternoon at 3. I’ve known Barbara for 38 years, so this should be fun.

This is so laughable: gender affirming care for me, not for thee. Hegseth is practicing medicine without a license. He’s a scared little transphobe who thinks testosterone is more important than skill and competence in military jobs. I guess he’s hot performance issues from his excessive drinking.

Anyone else notice how quickly Lindsey Graham’s sister got sworn into his seat? Look what happens when it’s a new Dem Senator. We saw what that prick Johnson did in the House. The news also mentioned that he adopted her so she could get his military benefits. Nice grift.

So sad to read Sam Neill has died. My favorite film of his is The Dish, a delightful movie about Australia’s part in Apollo 11. We saw it at a film festival for distribution rights before it was released. He was a wonderful actor and I loved his social media posts about his farm and animals.

I’m using my Instant Pot Rio for only the third or fourth time. It has a wider cooking surface than my first generation Instant Pot duo (a gift from my spouse that gave up the ghost—broken handles—a while ago) and the control panel is NOT intuitive. But it seems to be working tonight. Smells good.

Long-ago friends of mine were driving their van w/U-Haul west thru Yellowstone and a buffalo they had seen far off in a field shortly before ran into them around a corner, leaving a body print on the side of the Dodge 1000. I always think of a hypothetical conversation with insurance about that.

It’s nice that a qualified woman candidate won’t be going against an entrenched incumbent for Senator in SC.
