Wait - this is #LaborDay weekend? Right NOW??!! Damn. When you’re an adult with no kids, holidays are either utterly meaningless or an absolute annoyance. No middle ground. Well, Happy Whatever to all who celebrate, I guess.

3 nights eating hospital food, sleeping in an adjustible bed, getting my blood taken at dawn and watching a WHOLE LOTTA #SOUTHPARK. A mild #stroke could be worse, but maybe not by too much. Still, I'm alive & my brain's not much glitchier than it was before, so... YAY, I'M OLD AND FUCKIN' BROKEN!

Not as deep into Big Two #superhero comics as I used to be. I pop my head in once in a while. When I have, over the last 4 years or so, I find that #Marvel's getting boring (MCU influence), but #DCcomics is getting weird. And WRONG. Not even in an interesting way, more like a #WTF kinda way.

Have ya heard?! It's #JennyEverywhereDay!! Celebrating the Open Source character known as The Shifter, here's two of my entries that have already gone up over at jennyeverywhereday.com SD versions of my "usual" Jenny and fledgling Shifter, Jennifer Ba Bei, from my webcomic #ZedVsTheWorld.
My original version of Jenny Everywhere:
A lovely lass of Chinese descent carrying the umbrella that I'd startd equipping her with about 6 years or so ago. Her customary white scarf with green fringe, plug earrings and tattoos adorning her upper arms and navel.Jennifer Ba Bei, a younger, Afro-Asian version of The Shifter from my webcomic, "Zed Vs The World". A dark-skinned cutie with curly afro-puffs held by pink scrunchies, wearing overalls an a pink neckerchief in lieu of a Jenny's usual scarf. The goggles remain, though. She also has faux ivory ear piercings and an "infinity symbol"-ish white tattoo on her upper arms.

One never realizes the sheer amount of rage, misanthropy, violence and tits one's comics contain until an art-curious mom & her preteen ask where they can find your work online. I may have to make a PG/SFW account or something. IF I even HAVE PG/SFW comics! (I honestly don't know if I DO or not!)

The next page of #SolidCitizens. (page 16). The Terwilliger cousins - Tommy, Reego and Bethany are doing what #vampires do. ... No, the OTHER thing. #Xailenrath #ComicFury #webcomics
Meet the Terwilligers - Tommy (in the white hat) - the impromptu "leader" because he's the oldest by about 7 months.
His cousin, Reego (the taller bald one) and their mutual cousin Bethany, nicknamed Bee.
Vampires all. Each one tough, even before being turned, if none too bright.
Now they're out in the pre-dawn streets of Saint Murphy, looking for new people to turn in order to bolster the ranks of their organization.
The question is - who do they work for?

The FBI agent stared into the beady brown eyes of his quarry and continued the interrogation. “Are you gearing for an uprising?! TALK!”, he barked. “I ain’t talking!”, flippantly spat the Talking Dog, his eyes cast skyward, twiddling his opposable thumbs.

My deep dark #PopCulture secrets that’ll get my Nerd Card revoked pt.2: I HATE the concept of the timestream regulated by bureaucracy and/or the idea of immutable fate. Fixed points in time that can't be altered are just a result of fake "because science" narratives & lazy writing via stunted minds.

Supervillains Lioness and Sidewinder run from their botched hit on the mayor at super-speed.
On their way out and around the building, they spot the mayor after she was rescued by Spectral of the Chicago Ultras and decide to take a second shot. Spectral uses her density-shifting power to stop Sidewinder with a clothesline maneuver, which sends Lioness flying face-first into a light post.
