Had a fun night, went to see Dead Lover, a film by Grace Glowicki, presented in STINK-O-VISION!

Photo of a rectangular card with a goth looking woman lounging moodily and a creepy long finger pointing at her. It is for the film Dead Lover by Grace Glowicki. Text reads: Only scratch your itch when the numbers switch!

Photo of the reverse side of the rectangular scratch and sniff card with 10 numbered white hearts on a black background with large text in the center that reads: Stink-O-Vision

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it. Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

long stretch of worked roman stone on Hadrian's Wall.

Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.

An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that."

Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.

Comics in the Spooky Age 🧛‍♂️🧟‍♀️🎃 @comicsinthega.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Cartoonist & fashion designer Gladys Parker. She created the comic strip Mopsy that ran for nearly three decades, and in WWII, she created the strip Betty G.I. for the Women’s Army Corps. #InternationalWomensDay #InternationalWomensDay2026

A black and white photo of her holding what is both a self portrait and also a drawing of Mopsy, since they looked the same.

A sample Sunday strip of Mopsy. She is trying to hit a target with a bow and arrow, but gets frustrated and breaks the bow. Then she pulls out a gun and hits the target.

A bio of her from the National Cartoonists Society. It says "born in Tonawanda, NY. Sold cartoons to magazines while in high school. Started newspaper career on NY Graphic. Proceeded to United Features, NEA, and finally Associates Newsp. Created "Betty GI" for WAC during World War II. Designed for Wholesale Retail and movies. Now producing "Mopsy" daily panel and Sunday page, and writing daily column "Dear Gals and Guys." Lives in Hollywood with two black cats.

BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA was a new type of personal project for me that I'm still very fond of. You can read it for free in this thread: bsky.app/profile/oliv... or pick up the PDF here: oliveoilcorp.itch.io/ballad-for-b...

Page 1 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA.
A Black woman stands in the middle of towering trees with large holes in their trunks. She wears a sheer slip dress and looks up at the orange sky.

Caption: THE SKY HAS A CRACK IN IT.

Page 2 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA.

Following the woman's line of sight, we're looking up at an angry-looking sky that almost looks split down the middle. The shot is framed by a pair of damaged trees.

CAPTION:
"A big gaping wound right there, in the middle."

In the next panel, thick droplets of moisture run down a harsh cloudy-looking texture.

CAPTION: "It leaks."

$Page 5 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA. Panel 1: Sweat drips down the woman's face as she exerts herself. Panel 2: The woman is small against the backdrop of the fracturing sky as she climbs the steep cliffside. Panel 3: The woman has climbed to the top. She holds on for dear life at the edge of the cliff, trying to address a person standing there in front of her. The person shares the same exact shape as the woman, but their features are obscured by the same swampy textures that can be seen inside the crack of the sky. They are You. Caption: "I came to tell You about the crack." Panel 4: You turns their head up to gaze at the cracked sky. Page 5 of the comic poem BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA.
