EXPL0IT (4 issues) by @timleong.bsky.social, @laurahudson.bsky.social, @emilianapinna.bsky.social, @purpledraws.bsky.social and @gofrankgo.bsky.social was pretty darn fantastic. Gorgeous art and colors, a couple fun protagonists, and all of the billionaires are depicted realistically (as assholes)

Our heroine Kirby points a finger gun at the camera on the cover of EXPL0IT #1 from @madcavestudios.com.

#MyComicBooks2026 246 Exploit #4. @timleong.bsky.social and co have nailed this! Tense and well paced throughout, and well worth a look in trade if you missed the floppies...

So, I was laid off by my job this week after 13 years. Not only that, but it happened as bills from my recent heart attack-related medical visits come due. Because of that, I'm doing a big sale for SKTCHD/Off Panel related things, so now's a good time to subscribe if you can...because I need it!

I went to the Skirball Cultural Center to see the amazing Jack Kirby exhibit. I’ve never seen so much of his original art, and is absolutely worth seeing. Bonus: the first piece in the exhibit is the debut of Captain America—punching out Hitler.

Show us the way, teenage girl in New Jersey.

A 16-year-old Oradell high school student pointed out the double standard in objecting to a book “because a boy dresses up in a girl costume,” but not, for example, “‘Captain Underpants,’ a book where a man dresses up in underwear at a school.”

Her question drew clapping and appreciative cheers.

“This may seem like mockery,” the teenager went on, “but in reality, it exposes the true intention of banning this author from coming: discrimination and censorship.”
