I hope there's a yokai infused Okarun under the cap that says "be tired, man, this sucks" for the duality of the character

"I'M GOING TO CLONE MYSELF THEN IMPLANT ALL MY EDGY FALSE 90'S MEMORIES INTO SAID CLONE AND THEN GIVE THEM A RIPPED JACKET TO CRY IN THE RAIN" is the superior expression anyway

Dan, that cultist isn't worth your time or effort. And definitely not your wit. Block and don't give him the attention, especially since he probably has no social life outside of this.

Came here to make sure that specific image was posted. Thank you, kind citizen for doing it ahead of me.

That is why Kaine Parker's spider sense tingling was renamed the Chili Effect

This doesn't include name-alikes does it? Because I love it when Stephen King, the author, happily took shots at Steve King, the racist congressman from Iowa.

2/2 It looks like she's part of Orbit so this is probably the most direct way to buy it

1/2 Unless you know what the publisher set as royalties %, it's hard to say. Google is better for unknowns, as they can set the price and typically set the percent (around 40-55% last I checked), but most would go directly to the publisher site

You can justify anything. You are a grown up making decisions about (fanmade) comic books!

Might I suggest EveryLibrary at bsky.app/profile/ever...
They are a great resource for book ban/challenge news and providing help to local areas who are currently under threat.

I love Laid Back Camp, but I admit I get more second hand anxiety when the conflict is "they miss camping supplies and have to really rough it" because fighting dragons is fine but no tp is the stuff of nightmares.

What about adorable animals going viral? I don't want to live in a world where I have to question if an elephant stealing a human's hat and playing peek-a-boo with it is AI generated.

Followed for this, and your writing of "Redshirts" but this celebration was the thing that kicked me to do it. Hope your follower account grows like Tribbles.

Guy Gavriel Kay if you want folklore steeped fantasy. Sometimes he has knights, but usually it's just hapless normal folk. Lois McMaster Bujold if you want ghosts and gods giving you pesky visions.

Oh please someone convince the creator of Infinity Train to read "Railsea" which is Moby Dick but with trains and giant albino naked mole rats.

It's a wonderful tradition to have. Scrooge teaches you not to be a prat to be human and Death teaches you to believe in fantasies to be human. Perfect bookends.

The research and story behind why this book came to be. Sounds like a great addition to English-speaking canon for explaining Chinese lore.

Just give the same reminder but with your hand visibly resting on the trapdoor latch.

"Somehow Palpatine returned" is nowhere as ominous as "Somehow Palpatine comes"

Val, having once again embraced freedom, doesn't even remember what it's like to be in-car-cerated.

Also no plays involving incest or adultery, so I guess Logos can't bring *all* of the Bible to life. They seem to be deadset on working from handicaps.
