Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I'd thought I'd never lost any purchased content to license revocations and the like.. Then I remembered Dark Horse nuked their entire store at some point 🫠 (I'd bought the full run of BPRD and some other random stuff) 010
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The fact that I just found out one of my Comitia buddies passed away from @davidharper.bsky.social's newsletter is absolutely wild. I'm honestly in shock, Kezuka was always fun to talk to. Started reading this excited that he got an overseas deal, ended up in shock. RIP... 100
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Didn't expect to full on cry today but they put Mike Wieringo in the Brand New Day Special Thanks so here we are. 110
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 04/05/2026I think this is the longest I've ever seen the line for security at Haneda.. I'm about ready for the tourism boom to settle down a bit. 010
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Every time I walk by Saitama Shintoshin I am reminded of @mikemignola.bsky.social @johnarcudi.bsky.social having Kaiju destroy it in BPRD. It was like two panels but left a lasting impact! 000
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 01/02/2026A few shots from NYC in the snow. Shot on the Lomo MC-A and digitized with my Valoi Easy120. #filmphotography #believeinfilm 180

Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 21/12/2025First batch of cookies with the 4yos is done! Pretty they ain't but tasty all the same! 020
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 10/12/2025Finally went back and finished Die so I can start Loaded. It was great. I'm feeling slightly defeated by the fact that every comic I read these days seems to be written by Kieron 😅 000
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 03/11/2025I'm gonna be so bummed when this mug eventually breaks. It's not only cute, its the perfect size for my morning coffee too. #merchtodon 020
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 04/10/2025The kids were playing with my genbakantoku today, gleefully snapping and flashing in each others faces... Didn't realize there was film in there til I heard the rewind motor 😂 lets see if there's anything worthwhile on this one. I have no idea when I loaded it. 020
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 25/09/2025Had to bring a few extra things for the office today, and when we prepared to leave our son asks "are you going on an airplane?" Dang, they're catching on! 020
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 25/09/2025Wow the trains are messed up something fierce today. Even standing room in the Shona Shinjuku green car is maxed out.. 000
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Oh fun, guess I caught the daughter's bug. Just in time for today's public holiday! 000
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Had a few hours to ourselves so we stopped by one of my old favourites in Shinjuku, Sangokuichi. The area was super crowded so I was really surprised they didn't have a line! The salad Udon still hits the spot. 020
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 17/08/2025Japanese burger king finally got caramel sauce sundaes - and its not a limited thing!! I'm unreasonably happy about this lol 010
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 12/08/2025So since they pulled paw patrol off of Netflix and put it on @paramountplus.com where it doesn't have German audio anymore, we picked up some DVDs while back in Austria. At least Japan has the same region code right? Well guess how many of these disks my player will read. 100
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 11/08/2025Just randomly found a category that I never thought about but makes a lot of sense - CD drives that connect to a smartphone via WiFi and convert CDs without a PC (which a lot of Japanese people don't own). Would've loved to own one of these when I was going to indie shows frequently! 020
Reposted by Phil Knall Matt 'Wib' Ward @wib.bsky.social · 24/07/2025I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025. 84143506821

Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 06/07/2025I get the people snapping pictures of trains. The ones recording the announcements i will probably neber understand... 010
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 26/06/2025I'm this close to ditching OneDrive and moving my photos to Google Drive... I like how OD displays them the best, but the android app is garbage and just pretends the most recent folder doesn't exist even if you refresh. 100
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 28/05/2025Randomly remembered I had a black panther Lego set my best friend gifted me when I was in Vienna, so we started building it (the kids know BP from the Spidey cartoon). 100
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 26/05/2025Man listening to off panel is so hard, I always want to tweet right back at @davidharper.bsky.social with my own takes 😅 congrats on 500! 110

Reposted by Phil Knall Rori! @roricomics.bsky.social · 21/05/2025LOL at anyone in comics thinking they have a ReSpOnSiBiLiTy to call out "bad comics," my good bitches: we are in comics, where probably 85% of us need a second or third job to get by, where many still have to be their own PR even when they get a deal; not one fuck is needed, not one should be given. 217145

Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 11/05/2025Off to the airport we go. Shanghai has been swell. I'm so thankful for translation apps, the level of basic English among service staff here remains incredibly low. Thought I might pop by Yu garden yesterday but opted for dinner with friends instead. Can't complain. 010
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 30/04/2025Found our daughter playing with this today, and wondered when she will understand what it is... It belonged to her great-grandmother, and once housed needles, in a darker time long long ago. Maybe I'll try to get rid of the rust and paint it a color she likes. 020
Phil Knall @philknall.bsky.social · 30/04/2025Got myself cocoichi because I thought the kids would be least likely to steal it but they still ate like a third?? I guess spicy doesn't work as a deterrent anymore?? 000
