thinking, as i occasionally do, about this phantom comic strip from 2017

every time i try to talk of girls This is the shit they are saying to me,,,

Finally finished reading Unquenchable Fire by Rachel Pollack! A bit of a difficult read for me; the story meanders a lot, with plenty of world-building interludes dropped into the middle of chapters. But I really appreciate it all now that I'm through it.

thinking about the mandela effect or as i like to call it "being wrong"

Employer: "So Ms. Bap, what qualities do you have that you think you would bring to our company?" Me:

You pick up old comics because you'll often stumble on something like this gorgeously illustrated short by Will Jungkuntz and then wonder why you've never heard of him! It's because he died at the age of 30. The first issue of THE DARK NIGHT RETURNS is dedicated to him.

Everybody’s saying it…

Finished PKD's Martian Time-Slip. Another weirdy from old Tricky Dick! Already in the 60s people knew colonizing mars was bullshit. A book about evil business men, madness, indoctrination. There's something so ineffably sad here, and I can't put my finger on it. Great, would recommend.

This is the most disgusting thing I've ever read, Jesus fucking Christ. Disco Elysium is the corpse hanging from the tree and Za/Um are throwing rocks at it. Vile.

Finished Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness. A complex and deeply flawed novel about a planet where gender doesn't exist, the books views on gender and sexuality feel antiquated even for the 1960s. Still, gives lots to chew on. Great political thriller, wilderness survival plot.

Finished Count Zero by Gibson. Better than Nueromancer imo. Gibson is a great stylist blending noir, military sf, thriller, mysticism, and hacking into a tasty stew. Much like the future rastafarians in the last book, his future voodoo stuff feels off, but less orientalism at least

Read Camp Concentration by Thomas M. Disch. A must read. A spikey, angry, obscure, poetic scream. A fucking bullet of a book. Brain surgery in under 200 pages. Political prisoners suffer inhuman experiments in a barely future America. A troubled, somewhat unlikable poet chronicles it. Read it!

Left Hand of Darkness has been interesting so far, but, uh, shit like this keeps popping up and it sucks.

Finished LeGuin's City of Illusions. The third in her anthropological Hainish series, and the weakest so far. A man with cat eyes must find his true identity on an Earth under alien dominion. Has its moments, worth reading, but LeGuin continues to have a dry, cold, distance that I find dull.

my comics are getting more technically proficient but i dont think i'll ever come up with another line as good as "the penis store" patreon.com/merrittk

Once again my dune buggy has become sentient from strangely colored lightning and is threatening to ruin my seaside hometown's "Beach Olympics" event—but this summer, there's also a mysterious girl dune buggy causing even more trouble!

By tomorrow morning, Variety will have posted 500 times about a petition to revoke No Other Land’s Oscar signed by 10,000 of the least famous names you’ve ever seen + Eli Roth.

How dare people assume *checks notes* the most popular living horror manga artist is influential. If only they could be as good at knowing about Japan as me.
