Wondering if anybody might have exhumed Timur’s body again recently

Photo of a sculpture of Timur Lenk. The text below reads: “Timur Lenk, known as Tamerlane. This sculpture was made from the Great Emir's skull by Professor M.M. Gerasimov, a pioneer in forensic reconstruction. The Soviet scientist braved the legend that if Timur's body were exhumed the worst disaster ever to befall the world would take place. Gerasimov performed the work in 1941.”

Only ever a casual Waterboys fan but disappointing to see them embrace AI art for their new releases

AI-generated image of a boat in a storm with a ladder in the distance. It is terrible

Ai-generated image of the dude from the Waterboys in a cowboy hat holding a film reel in an R. crumb cartoon style. It is terrible.

New Petunia! Your Party Is In Another Mountain. #comics #webcomic petuniacomics.com/your-party-i...

Sir Kyle informs Reggie that Petunia and a puzzleheaded boy entered the dragon's cave but never came out. Reggie is happy that the dragon will be fed and sleepy. Kyle asks if it was a smart idea to put even more commonfolk in harm's way and Reggie corrects him that these are not commoners but CHAMPIONS who VOLUNTEERED to fight the dragon. It's all kosher and by the book!

Reggie studies a map while a scout rides quickly over hill and dale. Sir Kyle reports that a dirty peasant girl was spotted at a nearby mountain. Sir Reggie circles a dragon on the map and remarks on their good fortune. Soon they will find the dragon

I won’t say I have the best understanding of the difference between “leftist/progressive/liberal” but it’s funny to me to see people across the spectrum apply whichever label they think is most offensive in the given context. Will Stancil in particular I have seen referred to as all three!

A Jonathan Chait post starting thusly “has anybody seen any self-reflection from the leftists like Stancil who ignored…”

I fell down a Shel Silverstein hole awhile back and wound up creating an account on academia.edu to access an article about him and now I get all of these emails asking if I am a different Georg Pedersen who is researching cool stuff like magnetic correlations in optical lattices

What's your #comicsdna? The comics and books that were formative to you.

Cover of Son of Ambush Bug #1. Cheeks 4eva

Cover of Wasteland #4, a very cool and weird horror anthology that also features lots of crazy autobiographical stories from Del Close

Bill Sienkiewicz-era New Mutants! Still the coolest a comic has looked

Cover of Batman Dark Knight Triumphant. Kinda scared to go back this mini-series and see how reactionary it is, but cool as hell when I was eleven

Owen stands in front of a surprisingly large dragon, backlit by an eerie glow. The dragon looms over him, hands on his hips and asks, "Now whey don't you tell me what else you found?"

I am devastated to learn that a pot of pour over a day is too much for my delicate tum-tum. Definitely the worst thing that will happen in 2025.

PANEL 1: A mysterious and attractive man who is definitely not feeling the effects of middle age grabs his tummy while standing next to a a freshly made bottle of pour over coffee. “AH! MY STOMACH HAS REALLY BEEN BUGGING ME LATELY”. PANEL 2: A close up of the delicious coffee, beckoning. The man thinks:” Pretty much since I started making pour over and drinking MORE COFFEE.” PANEL 3: The resolute man pounds his fist into his open palm. He declares, “I should stop drinking it so much!” PANEL 4: The man sips at a mug of delicious delicious pour over and walks away. “Starting tomorrow,” he decides. Because what harm can one more do?

Quote posting a page from an unfinished comic about dogs (more or less). Hoping to finish it in the new year!

A let’s say creatively cropped section of a comic page from Housebreaking. In the top panel a group of dogs and their owners patiently listen to a woman say, “I know it’s tough out there but we have to stick together.” Next panels show a pair if hands grasping a dog collar and then a woman with a bruised and bandaged face. “We’ve all made sacrifices. It’s time we escalate things.”

Petunia admits to Owen that he is staying with the Dragon to make smoothies. The Dragon tells Owen they'll get rich doing it, and to check in with Darrick (hey! remember Darrick?) to get set up. Owen is more than a little upset about this arrangement, but Petunia assures him it is temporary
