Fun fact: The original Hamburglar was played by “Bob” from Twin Peaks? Not the actor who played Bob, the character.

Don’t forget about the fact that sometimes they dress one of their teen employees up like Abraham Lincoln and have him wander around the Old West town. Or the Drunken Saloon walkway that lets children simulate the joy of an alcoholic stumble. Or the genuinely delightful water show!

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.

What was really cool was that in a span of 4 or five issues on that Defenders run, he went from working with my favorite 70s Kirby inker (Mike Royer) to one of my favorite 60s Kirby inkers (Chic Stone), and you could really see the impact the inks had on his homage.

Sorry about that! Been playing some episodes for the dog when I’m out of the house for a while. Sometimes I leave them on for a bit when I get home, and I’ve noticed some of the music stings come in pretty hot.

My mom had to plan a conference in Texas in the late 90s. When she insisted the meals have a vegetarian option, she was told, “I think you’ll find that most vegetarians eat chicken.”

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?!

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.

For years, my pat answer to the question, “What 4 people, alive or dead, would you want to have dinner with?” was, “Dorothy Parker and 3 boring people we could talk shit about over drinks afterward.”

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.

Yes! I hate it how often she is pointed to as a tragic story of unrealized potential! She was a brilliant professional writer who wrote a lot and it was all great! No, she didn’t write novels; but poems, reviews, short stories, plays, and screenplays still count as writing!

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
