Reading 4Kids led me to @ashcanpress.com and @tylerboss.bsky.social next project, What’s The Furthest Place From Here? This, folks, is 100% the TREASURE I was seeking when I wandered into a comic shop a couple of years back looking for recommendations on awesome indie books. Starting Vol. 4 now!

I started listening to the Ideas Don’t Bleed podcast last year which is how I came to l know the work of @ashcanpress.com and @tylerboss.bsky.social, beginning with 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank. A heist comedy w kids as the criminals. Loved the imaginative intros to each chapter.

Well, quite.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

To all the teams who got an email from the dodgers this morning offering up to 8 months pay if they voluntarily quit, DON’T DO IT.

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Gonna rant a bit about something I see in illustration that I have NEVER seen drawn correctly. I get why it's always wrong (the roots of the mistake), and 99.5% of people will never notice... but I do. My own pet peeve. Yet a simple fix. Anyone else notice a thing that artists ALWAYS get wrong?

Big haul tomorrow! #NCBD

Just got back from the beach/tide pools and the other 3 folks in my family took a bath or shower at the same time. Our water heater, did not, in fact, meet the challenge. 🥶
