There's a lot of great TV out there, but only JUSTIFIED Season 4 Ep 11 gives us: ✅ The standoff at Raylan and Boyd's desiccated high school ✅ Constable Bob vs Yolo ✅ Johnny's pathetic, worthless love confession to Ava ✅ "Holy shit. They circled the wagons."

Cartoonist Rich Tommaso (dealing with his own tough health issues) and his sister are trying to raise funds to take better care of their mother, who is in assisted living in Georgia and going through a lot. If you can throw some dough their way, the GoFundMe can be found here: gofund.me/790b53e8

I talked with Comics Journal's William Schwartz about FLASH GORDON! Topics include: -My decision to bench Ming the Merciless -The origins of new characters like Bok the Dragonman and Bones Malock -The other comics I look to for day-to-day inspiration on this long, strange project
