I worked for the Geology Department at my university for one half day. I was expecting to do data stuff and they wanted me to move containers of rocks. I decided my time was better spent working as a waiter.

No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.

For a man whose work brought me so much joy, there's not much joy in his story. Still, I'm glad Reed Tucker and Dylan Mitchell created this graphic biography of E. Nelson Bridwell.

Alright, I guess I'm doing this. I HAVE RETURNED TO PATREON. Most of you are aware that I lost my day job and have been unceremoniously thrust into the role of a full-time Comic Person. While my lettering work is certainly robust, I still need more help than that. www.patreon.com/cw/longtallj...

I don't have many hills I will die on, but one of them is that comic book companies have to stop ceding publishing territory to third parties and letting them taking over that space WHEN YOU COULD CONTROL IT YOURSELF! Yes, this is about Marvel turning its digital comics stuff over to WebToons.

Boy, Marvel really wants to make us consider dropping their digital service altogether by forcing me to sign up for another service, doesn't it? Another chance to make me stop and think about whether I really do want to continue paying them a continuing fee.

Remembering Joe Kubert on his 100th birthday The first drawing I ever hung up in my room was a copy I made of Joe‘s cover for "Justice Inc." Looking at that cover now, it's easy to see why I was enthralled by it. It had a sense of danger that wasn't present in the other comics I was reading.

And of course, if you’re a try before you buy kinda person, the original drafts of all of this are free on the website. Chapter ten is my favorite, and Cuddled Little Vice is obviously the big hit, but if you want a chapter that’s both representative and firing on all cylinders, try this one.

eruditorumpress.com

Chapter Six: Hello From the Cracks (The Abyss Gazes Also)

The line, of course, belongs to Rorschach, the glamorous poison at the heart of Watchmen’s appeal. Moore is self-effacing about the character these days, joking that his popularity is down to the fact...

Found this passage I wrote in a blog post from 2020, and thought it was worth reposting here. This is in response to someone who felt guilty having bought the work of people that turned out to be bad.

Well…you really shouldn’t. How could you have known? It’s not your fault. I mean, you have to go through life and make your decisions based on the idea that folks whose work you’re supporting are operating in good faith. You can’t buy a CD thinking while you hand over the money “I sure hope this guy isn’t a child molester!” You’d drive yourself crazy second-guessing yourself like that. Don’t feel bad that you supported someone who turned out to not be a good person. Don’t even feel bad that you enjoyed the work in the past. Just think “I know better now” and stop supporting that creator. Maybe that creator will make amends, work to better himself, do proper penance, and someday be worthy of support again. Or maybe not. But it’s all on the person who did wrong. It’s certainly not on you, the consumer who didn’t know.

Wait, so Marvel is making an imitation Captain America character an imitation Miracleman (who is himself an iteration of a Captain Marvel imitation). I wonder what their endgame is, because I just don't see it. Can't see him catching lasting attention.

Mitch McConnell's reappearance today led me to pull out this coin Valery Jung Estabrook created as part of her Impeach Mint art project. Never forget his ownership of the terrible times in which we live. That will forever be his legacy.

Front of coin: Mitch McConnell in front of a Republican elephant, and around the rim of the coin the words Mitch McConnell Senate Majority Leader.

Back of coin: The iconic Ruth Bader Ginsberg lace, with the words: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed. Ruth Bader Ginsberg 9.18.2020 RIP." And then around the rim: McConnell, one hour after the death of RBG: "President Trump's nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate."

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜
