I went to the NO KINGS protest in Santa Cruz. For those friends & family members who didn't go, no worries, there were thousands of us there on your behalf fighting for a better future for you and everyone you love. NO to Kings. NO to fascism. And YES to an America we can once again be proud of. ✊🏼

Thanks to the legendary Ramon Fradon, I have my sign for tomorrow's "No Kings Day". It is much nicer than my original "The line starts HERE to spit on Trump's grave" idea.

Hands down, STARMAN was the BEST superhero series of the 90s and early 00s. ❀️ I will fight those who don't agree. Yes, I'm old and I will lose... badly, but I'll still fight!! πŸ‘ŠπŸΌπŸ€¬πŸ€œπŸΌ

OMG! If I learn her abuelita was from Guerrero or Michoacan I'm going to freak the FUCK out! #mipaisana

I see people who I am politically intune with say, "I would never vote for Newsome because of his views on criminalizing homelessness." Get your head out of your ASS! These people said the same about Kamala and her refusal to denounce Israel. Uh, how is THAT going, Sparky? Trump is our enemy!

We know this. Too bad half the country refuses to believe it. I hope the Pope says something. πŸ™πŸΌ

It was supposed to be a snack, but I ended up eating the whole almond-crusted, bacon cheddar cheese ball with crackers for dinner. I guess my second choice for dinner; a pint of lactose free, keto, cherry chip ice cream, can wait for another time. ...like, maybe breakfast. πŸ€”

My comic Holy Grails are modest. Got a decent Adventure Comics #300 (Legion begins) years ago. Also found unslabbed mint copies of Saga of the Swamp Thing #20 & 21 (1st Alan Moore). Then there's this one. Warrior #1 has the first appearance of V For Vendetta & Marvelman (Miracleman).

A novel that still resonates for all Americans in these messed up times. Please read. Do not let this happen again. Please. πŸ™πŸΌ

Like and share this and I’ll pick 5 of you to get free copies of WE ARE THE BEATLES. Buy it here: bit.ly/WeAreTheBeat.... If we ever needed a book to remind us to β€œCome Together,” this is it. Art by the Fab @ChrisEliopoulos . #beatles #thebeatles #bookstagram

Been under the weather for over a week now. I'm better, but still don't want to push it. Having a lazy #caturday with music and the princess Karkitty (Streaky is outside making his rounds). #Vinyl is TV EYES with half of the legendary #powerpop band #Jellyfish. Great guitar driven electro-pop!

Years ago when my trans child Martin passed away, my mom planted a rose bush in their memory. I affectionately named it Martin II, an homage to Audrey II from The Little Shop of Horrors. They ❀️'d their musicals. This year it is taking its sweet ass time, but the buds are finally popping up. Yay!

The late great Marty Pasko used to lay a LOT of text on almost every page of SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING; here's a particularly text-heavy example. So: script, Marty Pasko, pencils by me, lettering John Costanza, inks John Totleben, editor Len Wein.

Picked up a couple of vinyl records today. Nothing from #RecordStoreDay (because that's a madhouse), but from a local thrift store. The Ventures - Walk Don't Run vol. 2 (mono) is an upgrade. The Hinsons - Here Come The Hinsons is horrid country Christian music. I played one song and that was enough.
