There are few authors for whom I will drop everything to get their new book on release day. Kate Beaton is one. And I was introduced to the gorgeous art of Sydney Smith. Good book day.

Old man take: I don't "get" video podcasts. Like, I hate Zoom meetings. Why would I want to watch someone else's Zoom meeting?

TFW you pass a comics creator you greatly admire just walking down the street by your house and don't say anything because you are too awestruck. Maybe next time.

This was not my favorite movie when I was 18, but it is definitely my favorite movie that came out that year.
Three men sitting in a jail cell looking at each other. The movie title is Down By Law, with Tom Waits, John Lurie, and Roberto Benigni. Directed by Jim Jarmusch

I don't understand time and missed the first half of the World Cup Final. Alas. But I also missed what was likely an interminable halftime show. So, I win.

Japan! You were my team! Good effort, boys. Wish you could have spent more time in the Brazil end in the second period. Do I pick a new team now, or just get on with my life?

Taking another run at Doom Patrol on HBO. Didn't get out of season one last time. Anyway, Robot Man blinks. There is no reason for him to blink but he blinks. It's dumb but it's the kind of dumb I love.

There are certain movies that, if I stumble across them on live TV, I will drop everything and watch them until the end. I think I even own this one on DVD, but something about finding it broadcasting feels like a treat.

Limited time/funds for ECCC this year, but managed to hit up two artists I really dig, @pamwishbow.bsky.social and @keezyyoung.bsky.social plus a third artist I only "discovered" today, Toma Vagner.
A small book titled Signs of the Zodiac, a sticker of an ornate skull, and a print of a mystical creature sitting atop a newspaper box. Apologies to the artist for my poor descriptions.A comic book titled Just Going for a Walk with a drawing of a girl walking through a neighborhood, and another one titled Hello Sunshine with four people and a dog looking at another person lying on the ground, partly covered by flowers.Art showing a Jenga tower collapsing onto a cartoon head with insets of a hand knocking over a different Jenga tower. Jenga!! is written at the bottom in Japanese.

2026 is the year of the horse. The horse:
A man with a horse head (or maybe a horse with a human body?) sits on a diving board over a swimming pool. He holds a glass in one hand and a bottle in the other. He is wearing an open bathrobe and boxer shorts. Over his head is written hus name, Bojack Horseman

I have never really watched a State of the Union address because even in the best of times they are a tiresome circle jerk. Tonight's, though, could be a flaming wreck visible from space and I am sorely tempted to get some snacks and dial in.

My kid is sweet. He saw this book in a store and sent me a pic of the page my name appears on. So far it is the closest I've come to working in comics. Plants vs. Zombies: Lawnmageddon by @paultobin.bsky.social and @rondanchan.bsky.social

Happy Valentine's Day from my favorite cover from one of my favorite series, that I somehow had signed 21 years ago. I pulped the rest of the series, but I can't let this one go.
The cover of a comic booked titled Gotham Central. It features a woman and Batman kissing. The woman's thought bubble reads, "I never thought he would love me, too... It-- it's like a dream come true!"
