When I was a kid there was a rad video store/motorcycle repair shop in Portland. I once asked the owner if he had a copy of Where the Buffalo Roam, and he told me no, he wouldn’t carry it, because he once had to punch out Hunter S Thompson for calling him the N-word.

I cannot stop thinking about this picture I saw on the back of a HVAC repair van. Is the Christ figure carrying the cross shaped duct a clump of dirt? A filter? Is he going to allow himself to be crucified to save us from the sin of faulty air conditioning? What is the metaphor here?!

When I first saw this picture of Joe Walsh I got really excited because I thought they were making a movie where Patrick Stewart played John Cougar Mellencamp.

Did you know that the original Hamburglar was played by “Bob” from Twin Peaks? Not the actor who played Bob, the character.

Here is my Jane Yolen story, which I suspect is a pretty common one, or at least a variation thereon. I grew up on her books. One of my earliest memories is my dad reading Commander Toad books to me at the South Bend public library. Then I grew up and got a job in comics publishing. (1/)

I grew up reading Jane Yolen books and loving them. The first FAVORITE book I remember having was Commander Toad and the Planet of the Grapes. Lately, I’ve been reading How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You to my four month old baby. The world is a richer and more wonderful place thanks to her work.

My 4th grade teacher Mr. Wheeler told us that if Nicaragua went communist, they were probably going to send their army across the border at night to murder our parents. We lived in New Hampshire. A few years later he was fired for throwing a desk at a kid.

This is an esoteric beef but someone should hire me to write an actual tribute to the impact of Dorothy Parker this year. Lots of essays say she could have been one of the great writers, but check out this hot take: she literally is one of the great writers.

It turns out that babies are a lot like men in the 1950’s: -they don’t know how to cook or clean anything -they drink a surprising amount of milk -they have to wear a hat if they’re going outside

Can’t believe old timey folks invented canopy beds just so God couldn’t watch them have sex. Like, they really thought God didn’t have anything better to do than watch their silly, lice ridden, medieval butts bone down? C’mon! He’s God! He’s got cable!

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians. We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Sal Buscema was one of my favorite artists. Between his epic runs on The Defenders and Rom, he drew some of the greatest comics of all time. When you saw a villain’s face contorted into a black trapezoid of a grimace, interrupted by a stalactite of spittle, you knew you were in good hands. RIP Sal.

Seattle and Portland area folks: These two sweeties need a new foster home by December 12th. One boy, one girl, both fixed. They’ll come with food, toys, and litter (also a cat playpen if you want it). Would really appreciate any shares to cast a wider net.

Is there already a thing called “Cargoyles” about rockabilly gargoyles who are really into hot-rod culture? If so, can I still take credit for it and get some of the money? Please? Oh, also they are probably from space and in a band.

I read a book where a character was described as having a head shaped “like an upside down potato.” I got so mad I threw the book across the street. After a minute I went and retrieved it, but I’m still mad at the idea that potatoes have a uniform shape OR a right side up.
