FLUKE Small Press Explosion @flukeathens.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Tell everyone you know.
A poster for FLUKE 2027, a small press festival happening on March 27, 2027. The poster says that the lottery for exhibitor spaces will open in January 2027 and that more information is available at flukeathens.com. The design is 100% ripped off from the cover of a book found in a Czech train station in one of those “little free library” boxes.

R.I.P. Bizarro-Wuxtry, the great indy-supporting comic shop in Athens, GA. I have fond memories of my early signing there and hanging out with manager Devlin Thompson and folks afterward. A loss to the industry and the Athens community. A vital LCS, sad to see it go.

i used inkscape for the first time today, and was so thrilled at how easy it was to find, download, and learn to use inside of like 15 mins for a quick vector graphic need. why would i even bother with everyone's least favorite bloated ass subscription suite at this point

really and truly sold out this time. my head is still spinning as i try to edit our fascinating, funny 1h13m q&a to 20m. the m sisters are just wildly funny and charming and so is their debut film, divine hammer. screening this thing is one of my favorite things i’ve ever contributed to.

HAHAHA i had the exact same thought! it’s a great comic - one of my all time favorites. i read it first online years ago and recently picked up the first few issues of the kitchen sink press run! the “dear omaha” column is such a sweet a little piece of comics history. 💕🐱💃

one of my favorite parts is where he recounts smoking a cigarette with kate worley (omaha the cat dancer). gave me goosebumps! she deserved her flowers then and deserves them today still!
…[Rooms in] California are strictly non-smoking (a rule I do support), meaning that there were always a few people standing around outside for a cigarette. Even this generated a sort of social atmosphere;
I had enjoyable ten-minute chats there with Bob Burden, who only seems normal and well-balanced at first, and Kate Worley, with whom I talked about the recent letters in FA concerning the sex in Omaha (which she writes). She reckons there are two basic types who complain about this; one says "Sex is beautiful; don't show it!" while the other says "Sex is dirty; save it for the one you love!" At a later time (the party on the Sunday night - see later) she was saying that all through the week, as well as at previous cons, various Marvel and DC editors told her how much they enjoyed Omaha, but none of them would give her any well-paid work.
This prompted an interesting discussion about the possible nature of a Worley-scripted Tigra/Hellcat/Black Panther team-up, but unfortunately there weren't any Marvel editors about at the time...

morning reading! thrifted this british comics fanzine last week. i had never heard of FA, neptune, or martin skidmore, but i fell in love with his essay about his trip to a comic convention in the US- the way he recounts all the little details is so nerdy and charming and earnest.
FA 106, Britain’s premiere comics fanzine, Sept 88. Cost 65p ($2.25 us, $3.00 ca). the hellblazer tapes, jamie delano, richard piers rayner, mark buckingham. published by neptune comics. cover illustration features a white blonde guy in a black vest hitchhiking out of newcastle. the illustration is signed “rayner 88.”
report: my trip to san diego, by martin skidmore. a two-page magazine layout densely packed with three-column set text.

"You're consumed by an obsession, lured to the macabre struggle of man versus nature. Man battles for domination. Fish battles for freedom. You can't stop. You don't want to stop. It's an irrational desire... a primitive urge to become the Top Angler." Source: Tips & Tricks, May 2003.
The image is an advertisement for the game "Top Angler" on PlayStation 2 and GameCube. The main visual is a black-and-white close-up of a muscular male torso with a brightly colored fishing lure hooked into the skin near the right nipple. The text "Fish Fetish." is prominently displayed to the right of the torso. Below the main image are three small screenshots from the game showing fishing scenes. The bottom section contains descriptive text about the game, the game's logo, and the logos for PlayStation 2, GameCube, Sims, and XICAT Interactive. The text also includes the ESRB rating of "E for Everyone" and a website URL.

To my friends from LiveJournal

I still think about you Wonder if you finally quit, Do you still speak to your mom?

I remember when you went to Japan How you swore you'd never forgive him.

I can't remember to take my meds but I remember you wanted to live on a houseboat. It's a strange intimacy, all of us unspooling across decades of internet space Like balls of yarn leaving a trail behind us of everywhere and everyone we've ever been

I hope you got your houseboat.

I hope you got everything.
