The spot in my office where my green screen and throne used to be.

Physically weighing my comic collection in 2014, a year after I started reading comics because I needed to make sure my new bookcase could handle it.

First video filmed at the new studio. I wonder what comic could warrant busting out the chains, spikes, skulls, and Canadian tuxedo.

Good god. Not sponsored, but @sweetshop.app kicking off its launch with a Massive-Verse bundle at this price is insane!

As a comic book historian, I've been noticing old comic interviews being erased from websites and because @archive.org is under constant threat of being defunded, I decided to start locally archiving any interviews that I use for research in my videos.

Taking a moment to shout out @pirateprincessjess.bsky.social. She's been invaluable in helping keep Comic Drake going as I balance working two jobs and has co-written plenty of my recent videos. Most of the best lines and my videos are 100% her doing.

Todd McFarlane on treating comic books solely as an investment opportunity. Source: The Comics Journal #152 (1992)

"Spider-Man is such an ongoing title that a lot of people have been collecting it for years. They’re going to buy it no matter who draws it, my mom could draw it and still sell 250,000 copies. So, the only goal that I had was, “I hope they read it before they shove it in their plastic bags"

Todd McFarlane on comic publishers refusing to actually advertise new books anywhere other than inside of other comic books. Source: The Comics Journal #152 (1992)

"In an Army base or one of the military bases. If you did an aerodynamic or aviation book, God forbid they’d actually put that into the Air Force. If you did a rock ‘n’ roll comic book, God forbid they’d advertise that in Rolling Stone. If they did a kiddie magazine, whew! You wouldn’t want to make a commercial of that. Kids are supposed to telepathically know that there’s a kiddie comic book out there and stop playing Nintendo and rush to their comic shop."

Re-reading the Archie Mega Man comic ahead of my interview with @ianflynnbkc.bsky.social and this book is STILL so damn good! I am curious as to what the continuation is going to look like in a post-generative AI world.

Happy to add Green Arrow and Mister Miracle to my signed comic collection after meeting Benjamin Percy and Mitch Gerads at Fan Expo. I think I might start having a dedicated signed wall.

My wife's office is next to our living room so I can't play records while she works. So she went and bought me my own turntable for my office. 🥺

Finally started reading Assorted Crisis Events and I think between it, Absolute Martian Manhunter, 20th Century Men, and The Ultimates, it's safe to say that @denizcamp.bsky.social is going to be rememembered as one of the greatest comic writer of the 2020s.

My comic collection has gotten big enough that I bought a scanner to track my library and what I'm lending out to people.

This Thai restaurant goes to level 10 spice. Guess which one is level 3 and which one is 10.

Feeling bummed because I put a lot of myself into today's video and it's bombing. Fingers crossed that this new thumbnail intrigues people better. 🤞 Guess I'll pander and do some Batman next week.

The fun part of game board design where you haven't commissioned custom art yet so you can kind of just put whatever on a generic template. Not sarcasm. I think this is one of the most charming parts of the process besides writing on scrap paper.

This dedicated Marvel background has legitimately taken me a full work day to assemble and it's still not done. Digging through my knowledge of obscure characters and making my own transparencies has taken a stupid amount of time.

My hostel is right in the middle of one of the biggest tourist destinations in the city, so I was subject to many confused looks when I was having a casual stroll in my PJs.

Every time I stay at a hostel, I leave a comic or two behind. This copy of Radiant Black is still here over a year and a half later! I added a couple more to the shelf this time around.
