Noon on Baron Tikitrocious' Weekend Tikipeats! The folklorists of Middlesbrough are killed in lore-inspired incidents. A pub yarn spinner and a radio producer must find the culprit before the “shagfoal” strikes again in Hedgewoode Studio’s 1972 “Death of the Oral Tradition.”

Dear Manager, This week I: 1. Fell apart 2. Broke a heart 3. Broke another heart 4. Didn’t even start 5. Fell in love -Mae

It’s long gone, but I had a copy of “Anime-zine #1” shown in the lower left. I don’t even remember how I obtained it unless my local comic shop got it in somehow. Took me back!

I'm watching a sentai show, one unambiguously for kids, and one of the characters is a cop who is fanatically devoted to the best possible well-being and happiness of *everyone* in his community. I hate adulthood for taking from me that fantasy too.

I’m genderqueer, so hopefully spaghetti and balsamic chicken is good enough

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

The film 'Ratatouille' really gave people dangerously unrealistic expectations about the culinary skills of common rodents. In reality, putting a rat through chef school takes 3-4 years and tens of thousands of dollars, and the drop-out rate is astronomical since rats only live 2 years.

I have too many modeling projects going as it is, but I really want to build “Velma in the Power Loader” now. I bet I could find 3D printing assets for all of it.

It was mildly annoying when a character named Khan Noonien Singh was played by a Latino actor (who was at least charismatic and skilled). It was more so to have him played by a white Brit (same, true). But to have the Eugenics Wars helmed IRL by an incompetent orange idiot?

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Noon on Baron Tikitrocious' Weekend Tikipeats! A werewolf and his swamp monster sidekick broadcast their pirate radio from a barge on the bayou. When his old station GM finds them, it’s not the end, it’s the kick in the pants they need in 1991’s “Radio Free Houma: Bargin’ On.”

One (of many) things Chibnall got wrong about the Doctor was making her a pacifist. The Doctor abhors violence, it's true. She’ll give the bad guys almost too many chances to back off. But when it's clear there are no other options left on the table, she’ll pick up a gun. No reason.

The three great motivators of art Spite Horny Being a Hater

I do appreciate how creative humans are and how they can make songs about the fall of democracy that really slap

It's amazing how bad the right-wing can be at humor. Part of it is the whole "punching down" thing, which they can't grasp isn't funny, it's bullying. Also being able to tell a good joke involves being willing to laugh at oneself, and they are way too Serious and Important for that.

I remember looking at that strip and saying to myself, "I'll try to look past my own positions and at least give it a smirk if it's a good joke." Yeah, I never even smirked.

Got two different callouts for Vulpix, and it was one of my original favorites (because I'm a friggin' furry) so...

Heard a song from the 80s reference a "long distance call" and it occurred to me that this is a concept that no longer holds any emotional currency whatsoever

Fri 2PM, the university is going bankrupt until a Classics department chair and the one Engineering professor who brings in grants concoct a scheme that’s so it crazy it just might...hasten the closure of “Northplains University (1938),” on Baron Tikitrocious’ Midday Matinee.

Midnight on the Tikitrocious Moonlight Encore! A fully-automated cookie factory is drop-shipped to the rugged colony world. The privileged kids and the poor kids at first fight over it, then work together to feed it raw ingredients, in 2003’s “The Biscuit War.”

Very silly quick sketch

Sometimes family is a Bounty Hunter, a Space Marine, their Spartan son, and the Dog

Holy shit, Blast Zero is actually doing all the animation for the Samurai Pizza Cats game on paper.

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

There's a non-zero chance that no one will be seeking re-election in 2026, as even near the end of his first term the Turnip was looking into suspending elections "for national security".

Most modelers and miniature painters refer to their unfinished projects as their "Pile of Shame" but with me it's more accurately my "Pile of Hubris"

The Nazis and fascists wouldn’t be running a massive demoralization campaign, coupled with a terror campaign online if they thought they had the power to pull off what they were trying to do without a fight. They are weaker than we are and we outnumber them 100 to one. They will reap the whirlwind

Just a reminder I have some fun acrylic pronoun pins up in my Etsy shop, including the difficult to come by he/she/they: tabbiewolf.etsy.com/listing/1788...

Thu 2PM, gangs tear apart Baton Rouge. The factions break one inviolate rule: never disturb the peace within a block of the Vodou priestesses’ boarding house. She recruits the residents to restore peace in “Don’t Wake Mama Aurélie (1971),” on Baron Tikitrocious’ Midday Matinee.

Midnight on the Tikitrocious Moonlight Encore! During a writer’s strike, a movie studio re-used the script to a 1938 western and filmed inside a suburban mall. Horses indoors! The actors inconsistently improvised minimum changes for the setting in 1988’s “The Black Butte Mall.”

Rowan Atkinson looked hot as hell in Blackadder II.

Whew. I apparently Have Feelings about an entirely imaginary bunch of fascists. Can't imagine why.
