I was at an antique mall last week where a children’s book booth had a couple random 1990s Archie issues in the mix… unbagged, extremely beat up, and with $12-$15 price tags directly adhered on the covers. I don’t know what that seller was expecting there.

Pretty impressive how she managed to evoke like four different Batman villains simultaneously with that look.

They are to dragons what chihuahuas are to wolves. Weird, neotenous miniatures and possible vestigial remnants of ancient domestication practices.

First Bowie thing I was ever exposed to. It’s goofy, but I love it.

Not explicitly a “Superman” song despite lyrics that ask “how do you make a superman,” but I feel like Bob Schneider’s Flowerparts merits inclusion on a Superman Day playlist:

Little behind on this, but I made a mind horse too

Got it. It only matters if a state has 51% of its population on the correct side, otherwise they get to pound sand. Message received.

Not justifying anything, but many of Idaho’s worst promoters of hate were originally from California. Richard Butler wasn’t from Hayden, he was from Orange County. And Idaho’s huge rightward shift over the last 30 years was fueled by reactionaries moving here from elsewhere, especially California.

Apparently some French folks call him Etron because it means turd over there. I might start using that if I feel the need to nickname that fool.

I want to believe cracks are forming, even if it’s maybe wishful thinking. The Hands Off protest in Coeur d’Alene Saturday was well attended and it sounds like the reaction from passing motorists was mostly favorable, outside of a small number of parading Trump diehards and a tiny counterprotest.

Yeah I think my favorite take on him was in Cliff Chiang’s future Catwoman story, where he was very much that kind of guy (albeit a bit less on the reformed side of things, given the “one last job” nature of that comic).

I’m also on that line (BARELY making it as a Millennial on the chart above), but for a number of reasons usually align myself with the more standardized Old Millennials cohort a couple years younger.
Sometimes that felt like a case of arrested development, but at least right now it’s pretty nice.

His strategy relative to chess makes me think of this line from an old Achewood comic.

It’s a misattributed photo, seeing lots of people saying it’s Omaha. But there definitely was a big crowd for the protest in Boise and even substantial ones across the state in small towns that skew overwhelmingly conservative.

Leverage and Symphony of the Night. I don’t know if that means a Leverage-themed Metroidvania or a Leverage vs. Dracula story or what, but I’m on board either way.

There’s already so many songs I already like on this list, I definitely need to listen to all the others! Great choices! And props for shouting out Mike Doughty and BT’s “Never Gonna Come Back Down” in particular, that’s a favorite that feels like it’s completely vanished from the zeitgeist.

I knew he’d been in rough shape, but this is still a huge bummer. The guy was an icon. I might need a Tombstone rewatch this week too, maybe Kiss Kiss Bang Bang as well.

Virtual meetings every day mean at least a minimal amount of dressing myself. Even if it’s just sweats and a comfy old t-shirt.

This list also woefully lacks representation from fighting games, which would have been my favorite genre if that was an option.

*it was either Pac-Man, Super Breakout or Space Invaders, my parents had all three as far back as I can recall. It definitely wasn’t Pitfall II, my favorite of the time, as I remember it showing up later.
Also, whoops, mixed up my Ataris, we had the 5200!

The bartender in this (Caroline Munro) resembles Cerise from Alan Davis’s Excalibur in 1992, whose design originates in a pitch he did to DC for a book called Warpforce, nixed because “they weren’t doing time-travel stories any more” linewide at the time, which sounds like a post-crisis edict to me.
