Len was one of the kindest and strongest advocates in comics. The impact and loss of him and Archie Goodwin cannot be overstated.

As some of you know, my assistant Boy Scout leader was a serial killer who murdered people I knew, so... For similar reasons... I find folks obsession with true crime shows and torture 'porn' VERY bothersome. Every time I think "You've never experienced anything like this, have you?"

Congratulations to @paulchadwick.bsky.social on the return of CONCRETE. It's been too long, and the world of comics desperately needs this kind of magic. Thank you!

So. My partner suffered an accident that resulted in very significant injuries. While he is, thank christ, alright in the broadest sense, I am now an amateur RN/dog minder/kid chauffeur, so! I've restocked some prints to help keep us in pizza and pain meds.

100% THIS.

As I say often, if these were actually useful killer apps, they wouldn't be hard selling us during commercials because our peers would be selling us on how great it is.

It isn't great on any level, and it's a fucking con game.

I say this as an award winning editor who has been in publishing for 40 years...
...I can tell when someone is submitting something (either art or writing) that has been, in part, derived from AI.

And I will terminate their contract immediately.

(And have done so multiple times)

Fuck mediocrity.

I was interviewed regarding my journey with Matt Wagner’s GRENDEL, and the mad idea I had in 1990 to put together a convention dedicated to the comic, that would assemble all of the creators for it in the middle of a college town in Idaho.

Check it out - I talk about art & writing & ambition, etc.

Stupid times require reminding people of stupid things, alas.

In just this week, there's been 5 emails I've had to send with that phrase contained within it.

And it's only Wednesday.
