Please make sure he is eating a ton of the greasiest, fattest bacon you can find every day. Don't let him miss that bigly serving of bacon. Most importantly, don't drain the grease so he gets ALL the flavor.

Tell that to the bacon, egg and cheese biscuit I had for breakfast this morning. OK. I had two.

This month's comic order will contain: 22 new releases. 4 back issues. 1 trade. All indie. Is that a lot?

If that was him being tame, I hate to see what he would have done if he was fired up.

The cover to this week's issue of Vampirella Dark Reflections. I'm sharing because it's a gorgeous piece of art and also because issue 1 was an excellent read and set up to what looks like another great Vampi series from @tomsnig.bsky.social and his friends.

Is it too much to ask that just one male author I'm a fan of not be a total pos?

I hope her story from the Marvels continues because the end of that movie left her in a very interesting place.

It's full of bots programmed by Nazis. I'm not amazed at any of the atrocities that go on over there now and I am thrilled I am no longer part of it.

Getting a little flustered with this online shop I use to get my comics. Not having a local store sucks.

There's a seller on Ebay called More Than Words Bookstore, their abbreviation is 'mtwyouth.' Avoid these fucks like the plague is in town because they will rip you off.

Distributing counterfeit money is a felony. The FBI should really get involved.

I got lucky. It has been storming here all day so the troglodytes haven't been able to come out of their hovels and disturb the peace.

Just sitting here and reading a random Vampirella issue, as I'm wont to do, and the thought just snuck up on me. It's nothing mind boggling or anything new but it defines a big part of who I am. The thought? Damn, I love comics.

I was ready to give him the benefit of the doubt and I'm still not trying to judge harshly but it is just creepy to want to be involved with someone that young at his age.

No pride in my country to speak of today so I'm doing what I would on any other day: I'm watching some Classic Doctor Who (Tomb of the Cybermen to start) while continuing my re-read of a favorite urban fantasy series.

I have a 16 year old shih tzu. I wasn't a dog person at all. I didn't even really want a pet at the time but I've always preferred cats. He found me, though. A stray way back in 2010. He just chose me and I didn't argue.

Depressing that I have to wait another week. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the Dragons leaving Canada but it has injected new life into the book and I am enjoying it immensely.

Mississippi truly is the hell pit of the country. The root of all its evil. I know, I have the unfortunate status of being born and raised here. I've seen all this bullshit in action. And fuck the supreme court, too.

I finally got a copy of Vengeance of Vampirella Volume 4 from Dynamite. As it travels to my house, I have assigned myself the homework of re-reading Volumes 1-3 tonight.

I'm surprised Roy Thomas hasn't tried to claim co creating Conan. Has anyone ever just completely tarnished what would have been a great legacy faster than this idiot?
