How in the hell are there two major league baseball players on two different teams named Max Muncy?! And how were they born on the same day, twelve years apart?! Twilight Zone shit.

Having to label a shirt so readers know it’s Jesus isn’t exactly a high point in the pantheon of editorial cartoons, too.

There are a few from back then that I choose not to re-read specifically because I liked them and I know they won’t hold up. It’s OK to preserve a memory of a book as you remember it. Lately I’ve wanted to re-read certain books from high school to give them proper attention, though.

Apparently I’ve already blocked that account, and I’m not even a diehard Bluesky dude. Must be a real asshole.

I have nearly every Hellboy title in the digital format. And I could buy the Monster-Sized Hellboy for $60. I also have them in floppies (at least a lot of them early on). So much overlap across formats.

Hi! Would any of the people who used to follow me on Twitter care to follow me here, too? My feed is 79% posts from @patrickzircher.bsky.social—which is fine most of the time. But a little variety is also nice.

I hated when DC did this years ago, too. Metropolis and Gotham aren’t analogues of L.A., and nobody remembers Spider-Man swinging around Burbank, or Daredevil being the savior of Laurel Canyon.

I…may have taken this figure (from SPEEDING BULLETS, where Kal-El lands in Gotham, not Kansas, and is adopted by the Waynes) that my kid left laying around and made him perform some Shakespeare in the park. Er, dinner table theater? Yeah, that.

Victoria read with him a year or two before that book came out, after his collection debuted. We had dinner. Nice dude, but seemed perplexed that I was not an avid fisherman.

Hey, NYC and MSG— Great job during tonight’s national anthem of making it clear that your boos were for the Orange Stain, and not for the anthem, the country, or the wonderful Broadway singer. Well done. Your friend, A Pacers fan

I do see now that they made some apologies in previous updates. So there's that, at least. But this is update #87. Eighty-fucking-seven! That alone says it all. Guess they got tired of saying they're sorry.

Some artists can make a living just from Kickstarter and conventions and selling sketches, but...who would ever back a project by any of these creators again?

Andrew Scott @naptown.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

I have been more than forgiving and agreeable about this. Two years late? Three? Even four? OK, shit happens. I'm patient. But come the fuck on. Also, why not just send an email to every comics editor/publisher that says, "Hey, you can't even count on me. Please don't hire me."

Andrew Scott @naptown.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

The artist hasn't posted an update in a few years. Now it's just the writer (or one of them). But I backed it for the artist. He owes me a 6" x 9" sketch. Honestly, I don't even want the book, at this point. I can't read it on its own terms. It will always be the book that was eight years late.

Andrew Scott @naptown.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

I received an update on a Kickstarter comics project I backed a long time ago. The update does not contain an apology. So I logged in to check; this was "successfully funded on Dec. 14, 2018." That was my son's 4th birthday. He's 11 now. For fuck's sake, get your shit together, comics people.

A clarification I could have made, and should still make—and I do have an “edit” button. 🙂 Thanks for reading and sharing, Patch.

I’ve always been interested in the concept of swiping. And I agree that this is not an example of it. I wrote about swiping and more in this post about using Nana Banana to learn about its limits in stealing from others artists to “generate” images. naptownbooks.substack.com/p/the-machin...

I preferred B&N to Borders, but I still miss the massive, two-part Borders in downtown Indianapolis. Waldenbooks > Books-a-Million. In NYC, my favorite is Three Lives. But I like almost all of the major bookstores there. City Lights is cool. Elliott Bay Books is cool. Never been to Powell’s.

Finally ordered some comics for the first time in many, many months. A year? Anyway, these are on the way.

This was one my brother and I loved as kids. Recently gave it to my son, and he loves it, too.

I’m generally a city mouse, but overbearing neighbors and 40-ft wide plots of land have me feeling like this might actually be my ideal property to call home.
