Got some custom Thundercats for the LEGO display case, so obviously my day is going great.

A pic of my LEGO minifigure display case with custom Mumm-ra and the Thundercats centered in frame. On the row above them are several MASK agents while, while below is the cast of TMNT.

All this multiverse stuff was just a distraction as part of Doom's plan to rob a casino.

In a world where Rambo, Robocop, and Karate Kid all got cartoons, how did we miss out on the Saturday morning adventures of Maverick and Goose fighting crime with a talking jet?

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

The vast majority of creatives are struggling. Writers are leaving LA in droves. Directors are driving Uber when they aren't lucky enough to get gigs directing dubs or subs for foreign films. Recognizable actors are finding jobs they won't be recognized in. The whole industry is shitty right now.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

In the early '80s Peter Cullen told his brother Larry that he was using their shared car to go to an audition for “the voice of a hero truck.” Larry, a decorated Marine officer, gave Peter some advice on how to play an effective leader, “Be strong enough to be gentle.” And an icon was created. RIP

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

And while I have my Comic Book Dad hat on -- In all the chaos and struggle of surviving making comics, don't ever forget your accomplishments. You are doing things that other people can only dream of, and you should be pretty damn proud of that.

If I can be real for a moment: In the never-ending scramble to financially survive as a comic book creator, it is extremely easy to lose sight of the fact that the things we can do are incredibly cool. Try not to forget that. It sure ain't easy, but it's really important to remember that.
