Oh man…I get to share something cool tomorrow morning, this is VERY exciting. See you then!

Shout out to me in the future, who thinks he's going to get up at 7 AM on a Saturday and get a lot done instead of getting up around 930 AM and being irritated about it for no reason!

After a bit of time off, a few doctor’s appointments and PT days I’ll be back to the Wayback machine of pencils. One of my joys is adding a touch of the artist flavor when doing retrospective artwork in Doom Patrol when doing pastiches. Some Case, Byrne, Lightle #emceeartist #doompatrol #pencils

We've been doing shorter posts on the Weekly UpDave this month as I work on projects, but this week I talked about a great comic that changed my life, maybe even got me to where I am today. Flash #0. Read, share, subscribe, hope you dig it!

WHOAAAAAA!!!

First issue of the new Soup Dad Comics newsletter is going out soon! If you want to stop being polite and start getting real about making comics (but also still very polite), you can sign up here: soupdadcomics.beehiiv.com/subscribe

Pablo Tunica draws kaiju like his life depends on it. @grifsheridan.bsky.social and I are actively working to give him the craziest possible shit to bring to life in the mutant wasteland of GODZILLA: ESCAPE THE DEADZONE

When you have multiple projects going and you realize you're going to be seeing sick art regularly for the next couple months.

Scott Free, Mister Miracle (2023)

I've gotten a glimpse at these books, and it's a phenomenal line. @hackintimseeley.bsky.social and @nikolacizmesija.bsky.social are going to crush their title, and editor Jake Williams has put together a tremendous slate of titles, one that we are going to be talking about a lot this year.

NEW BOOK REVEAL! I'll be the artist of the main Godzilla series relaunch! See you in the Kai-Sei era that starts this July! Read the IGN article bellow for the full reveal!

I got a nice little influx of followers today so I’ll just say, hey I’m Dave Wielgosz, a comic book writer who you’re going to be seeing a lot more of this year.

Interesting. Here's my alternative take: Kill it with fire.

Hey, are you going to Emerald City Comic Con next month? Me too! And I know you want to meet me and get some comics signed. So come on down, I’ll be there March 7th-March 9th at Artist Alley table O-09! I’ll be sitting with the awesome @chrisrobinson.info

feeling this today

This tribute to the valley in the final season of Cobra Kai would make Paul Thomas Anderson weepy.

We also have gotten way more Anna Gasteyer this weekend than I anticipated and that’s an absolute delight.

We didn’t need to be reminded that Cher is an all-time icon but the SNL 50th weekend gave us two great reminders of that.

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

Maybe my most boomer-coded belief: I truly believe one reason it feels like America’s gone completely insane is that 20 years ago, we started watching reality TV as if it held a mirror up to how we behave, when in fact it’s composed solely of the biggest & most deranged freaks producers could find

The digital shorts Medley at the SNL 50th concert is the best thing about 2025 by a mile.

The NY Love Stories Collection on the Criterion Channel this month is pretty great and full of treasures, if you’re looking for some movies to watch this weekend.

If I was in charge of streaming television, for Valentine’s Day I’d curate a section of all the streaming services called “All the episodes of our shows where the will they/wont they couple get together.” It’d be a huge hit, you’d love it, you’re welcome.

If you see this post a gif from one of your comfort shows.

More Ultimate Spider-Man (2010) (colors by Justin Ponsor)

Dan's Newsletter is a delight. Every time it crosses my inbox I am thrilled to read it. If you're not subscribed, you should change that. Today even!

A world-class editor, a kind man, and a good teacher. Someone who helped me take my abstract feelings and turn them into opinions, taste, and beliefs on how work could and should be done. The comic industry is a better place for having Chris Conroy in it, and my life is too. This man rules!

On top of being a fantastic (I said it) drawing of The Thing, what a world-class facial expression.

I talked to my dad on the phone today, and he told me he once hit a golf ball into the yard of then Vice President and arch-nemesis of Murphy Brown, Dan Quayle. Which in and of itself sounds like a guest appearance Dan Quayle would have made on another sitcom to rehab his image.

Just a midday hello from the Homer Simpson that lives on my bookshelf.

We've been keeping the Weekly UpDave posts this month short and sweet, but if you want a quick update, this week's is a good one! weeklyupdave.beehiiv.com/p/five-things

Omigosh, this is incredible! @amancay.bsky.social, @davewielgosz.bsky.social, @kristyq01.bsky.social! Check this out!

I got a detention for losing my school ID and needing to get it replaced. I just had to sit in the cafeteria and I read the Dark Knight Returns. A vice principal came by and said “I hope you learned something.” And being eternally mouthy I said “From my book?”

Hey, are you going to Emerald City Comic Con next month? Me too! And I know you want to meet me and get some comics signed. So come on down, I’ll be there March 7th-March 9th at Artist Alley table O-09! I’ll be sitting with the awesome @chrisrobinson.info

THE PEDESTRIAN vol 1 is in book-book stores today!!! Now available wherever you get your goods!!!!

I'm very lucky that my brother does, he's a big reader, and we're very close. I have a few friends who do too, but as I've gotten older I've learned it's a lot to ask for someone to me a friend/family member AND fan of your work. So if it happens? It's cool, if not, no harm no foul.

Hey friends! I’ll be at @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social this year selling and signing copies of Superboy, DC Mech, The Schlub, and more! Stop by in artist alley and say hello! www.emeraldcitycomiccon.com/en-us/guests...
