Co-sign on The Purge. As I've written about extensively, spectacle dystopias are often woefully misunderstood.

A ton of reporting has come out in the last week detailing Biden's decline, how those close to him are worried, and how it was withheld from the public. There is no ulterior goal of diverting attention away from the supreme court.

Silly, frankly. This is a panel from a comic four years ago noting how dotty Biden is, which is now even more obvious and a widely held concern, it’s actually been the longstanding concern of a majority of democrats, not an enemy idea from Russia.

I missed the debate and have been totally offline. I assume Trump is toast and confidence in Biden was fully restored.

I have consequently moved Elfquest up seven positions in my reading pile. The fabled day of me becoming a Pini-pilled elf-binger grows closer.

I've recently encountered numerous people who are unaware of Black Thought's multiple solo albums released over the last few years and, consequently, the bars contained therein. Troubling.

We're getting ever closer to the date in this comic, which I drew in 2012. Very cool.

Slowly watching the Ripley series and really appreciating its meticulous recreation of midcentury Italy as well as devoting hour long episodes to the drudgery and logistics of dead body disposal.

BEHOLD: the first cover for the new Toxic Avenger series I'm writing. @deadredfred.bsky.social's been killing it on the art! It all drops in October.

Another bitter disaster for the indie comics world. I'd imagine this terrible decision runs up against rules for their provincial and national arts council funding.

I find what happened at VanCaf pretty disgraceful and counterproductive.

If ghost exist they absolutely talk like modern people instead of the era they died in. They’ve been listening to us the whole time. Napoleon is saying “deadass”

Erika Moen and Matthew Nolan’s sex-ed graphic novel has become one of the most banned books in the nation, getting coverage from the likes of John Oliver, while garnering almost no mention at all within comics.

This Saturday and Sunday I'm tabling at TCAF at the Toronto Reference Library, Table 2063. It's free—if you're in the city come say what's up and buy some comics.

I lament that you are not eating a bowl of this pork chile verde stew with me. Squeezing a little lime on it with me. Waiting for it to cool down with me.

When you manage a large email list for over a decade (in my case The Nib) something that happens not infrequently is a family member writing you to say a person is dead and can't read your emails anymore.

Macklemore saying fuck voting for Biden could activate a very serious contingent of white people. The visions in my scrying stone have clouded over; pollsters are racing to capture the dynamic. We are in uncharted waters.
