As noted, I'm bailing on social media for a while. I may shut down my website, too, as it's not doing me any goddamn good. Before I fuck off and shove my head full of LSD for a week, though, you can read this if you care to. Love to all you friends and comrades.

Fire alarm went off at three this morning. There was no fire, so we're assuming it's just a general alarm about everything right now.

It may get to the point where one could merely gesture upwards with a big stick.

Wait, supporters were on the tarmac at 2am doing the Cupid Shuffle? And I'm just hearing about it now??

Another one for @travisellisor.bsky.social, colored by @simongough2099.bsky.social, Karate Kid versus Bizarro Karate Kid. And to think, I started my career drawing martial arts comics.

There's dozens of Batman commissions out there that I have no memory of where they've ended up. Not one of them features a drawing of anything you might reasonably consider "Batman." Regardless. This one went out to Nicholas Doyle.

Looking back at some commissions I've done, @travisellisor.bsky.social always got the best ones out of me. This is a cutesy version of The Legion of Substitute Heroes, and I'm very proud how everyone's got their own little business to do. Ron-Karr (the flat one at the top) is a personal favorite...

Sure, Hieronymus Bosch's little guys were probably, in part, the result of ingesting moldy rye but you can't tell me this one isn't his OC. He's got a backstory and everything. If you spoke to Bosch's spirit, I'm positive he'd say "That's Sir Squeeks, he's my favorite. He's from Mouse Town."

We got two in our town -- one beige and one industrial appliance color -- and I'm always amazed at how it looks like it's running on its tiptoes.

Jamiroquai on the phone with the Make*A*Wish foundation because he doesn't think he's gonna last the weekend and his hat's always wanted to meet Nitro from American Gladiators.

I'm including a list of additional arguments at the end of the article, feel free to contribute in the comments. Ultimately we'll build a document which DC Comics will be legally obligated to adopt as official continuity, regardless of the consequences.

From the Berkshire Eagle (Pittsfield, Mass.) December 14, 1951. Article on American comics in Italian Communist paper l'Unità (est.1924), quotes likely out of context but good luck finding the source: Superman is "the oldest real symbol of Nazi ideology" and Donald Duck "has become a Marine"
