TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

I'm still more than a little in awe about how good Andor is. I went into this season with incredibly high expectations that have been FAR exceeded week after week. If they stick the landing with the final three episodes next week this might just be the best TV series I've ever seen.

I guess it's like riding a bicycle. Man that's satisfying.

My latest illustration for Oregon Public Radio, for a story about “placeholder bills” and their increased use in Salem.

Back from seeing Thunderbolts*, which was the most fun I've had at the theater in a long while. Really, really enjoyed it!

That thing where I hit my page count goal for the day a little earlier than expected, but know that if I push the goalposts out a little further I'll most likely fail to reach the new goal and I'll end up disappointed...

PORTLAND: First Friday Office Hours are back! This Friday, May 2nd, I'll be at Eisner-winning comic shop Books With Pictures at 1401 SE Division, 4-6PM, giving professional feedback on your comics art. @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social Details for how it works in the linked thread. Any questions, ask here!

Dylan Todd has done some FANTASTIC designs for projects I've worked on in the past, and I highly recommend his services. If you're in need of a designer hit him up!

Please help us correct misinformation! Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans". We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community. Find out more @ translifeline.org

Soubhiye, from Lebanese Arabic, is the enjoyment of a quiet moment of peace before everyone else is awake. Gökotta is a Swedish term for waking up early to enjoy the birdsong. For the rest of us, there is hurkle-durkling, from Scots: lingering in bed long after it’s time to get up.

Dive deeper into @mikemignola.bsky.social's Hellboy with over 30+ comics and graphic novels in a new @humblebundle.com Bundle supporting World Central Kitchen. Details: bit.ly/3GaHbrK Includes Hellboy in Love, Hellboy in Mexico and more!

Might be my favorite cover of the series -by @mikemignola.bsky.social @chrisroberson.net @chrisohalloran.bsky.social @darkhorse.com

Wrapped a D&D campaign with @paultobin.bsky.social @chrisroberson.net @tonyshasteen.bsky.social & @penzerker.bsky.social w/ the help of some friends: @admancomics.bsky.social drew a cover for the arrow-centric ‘zine, “Shaft” @igorgrouper.bsky.social captured a hard-fought, albeit messy, victory

an historic moment in SNL history and SNL socials are already out there posting the bleeped version and we can’t have that so here is the unbleeped one god bless king Ego

OH! I should remind people that I'll be in Portland Monday April 7 at Powell's City of Books, in conversation with the fabulous @lilahsturges.com Tour details here

Richard Chamberlain on coming out at age 68: "It was as if an angel had put her hand on my head...and said, 'It's over. All that negative stuff is over.'" interviews.televisionacademy.com/interviews/r... #RIPRichardChamberlain #RichardChamberlain

tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com/product/take... The memoir pre order is LIVE!!! This is the big one. The diary comics are supporting cast but this is the star. 5 years in the making. Its TIME! Pass it on to everyone you know. This is it. Its time its time!!!!

As reported in STARLOG #105! a lot of talent went into that ad.

Lots of neat @darkhorse.com books out this week including Shadow of the Gden Crane 2 with @chrisroberson.net @chrisohalloran.bsky.social @mikemignola.bsky.social #bprd #hellboy

THE WHOLE SERIES IS OUT IN THE WILD! I don't make any money on these, but please support physical media and tell your friends to check out the show so I can make a case to do moreeeeeeee!

In case you want some sweet news today. I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing. For the entire school. Every kid pre-k through fifth grade (the whole school) goes home with two free books.

@aoc.bsky.social is right: Throwing trans kids under the bus isn’t just wrong — it’s a losing strategy. We will not put up with any elected officials who abandon our community in pursuit of higher office. Support equality in your state: hrc.im/inyourarea

PLEASE watch this incredible film this film is more ghibli than your average ghibli film. It's got such an incredibly rich lore, but all environmentally- so much is conveyed to you through environmental storytelling. the music is so beautiful, please just me just watch it and be transformed

When I searched for my name it turned up 52 results, and aside from a couple of medical journals with entries written by someone with my same name the rest of them are all me, including a bunch of novels and a WHOLE lot of short stories.

Not that we in the library wish to encourage profanity, but if you want to get rid of these AI-search summaries (which are often absolute nonsense), just swear in your search terms. It really works.

Sad news to share with fans of the Star Trek novels and the SF publishing community: my friend and longtime editor Margaret Clark, who acquired and edited official Star Trek novels for over 25 years, passed away on Sunday. davidmack.pro/blog/2025/03...

Paulina Ganucheau is the ONLY guest artist who drew a chapter of Mae! Everyone knew she was a genius from Zodiac Starforce. Her tale of a younger Abbie explodes with a joy and graphic PUNCH that I couldn't, can't, recreate. I also drew chapters with guest writers Mark Waid and Molly Jane Kremer!

Today is FOC for @geneha.bsky.social's MAE: The Definitive Edition, which collects a personal favorite series of mine which richly deserves this new edition. (And the collection includes an interview that my then 14-year old son did with guest-scripter Mark Waid, so who could resist?) Go order it!

Considering that @darylwriterguy.bsky.social and @lilahsturges.com are two of my favorite writers who also happen to be two of my favorite people on the planet, you can bet that I will be there. If you're in Portland that night, you should come hear them chat and pick up Daryl's new book.

PEOPLE OF BLUESKY! Ahhhhhh, it smells good here. Behold a trailer for season 2 of Poker Face! It’s gonna be a good one. May 8th on the almighty Peacock!

What I was thinking there was, it’s a big school, why does Peter hang around with people who dislike him? I didn’t; I found my crowd. So what if they were his crowd? Kids he’d been friends with for years? That felt right.

YOU CAN POST THE DAICON IV OPENING ON BLUESKY NOW

Hayao Miyazaki's short guide to watercolor painting -- we put this translation together a couple of years ago

On the train heading home from ECCC. Had a great time seeing old friends and making lots of new ones, and even managed to sell some comics after a few slow days (thankfully things picked up on the last day). Exhausted but re-energized.

A reading comprehension error on my part puts me in Seattle this afternoon with plenty of time to pick up my Artist Alley badge for ECCC, but thirty minutes too late to actually move my stuff into the building...
