My birthday is in May.

People LOVE these characters. This book is just talking about their existence. What if we give them something to do?!

Gonna have to go home and dig out some books. I have obviously not read them recently enough…

I was gonna make a joke about wanting the smack, but the internet is a terrible place and I couldn’t do it.

Ye gods, but he really is just doing the “I keep getting older, but they stay the same age” bit, isn’t he?

Please smack me when I do stupid shit. I am very dumb, but I do learn.

Shakespeare’s sonnets, where things flip from “shall I compare thee to a summer’s day” to fancy dick jokes so fast you might actually get whiplash

Dude was a piece of work.

Sigh…is this a typo I see before me?

“There”

“Renaissance Lyric Poetry”?

Like, “the once was a man from Nantucket”?

Won’t lie, my favorite line in all of Shakespeare is my favorite line because I got to say “let it be writ down that I am an ass” in front of my sophomore English teacher…

Very jealous. I’ve heard he’s VERY good.

That sounds amazing.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

My people.

Cannot tell you how many times I have had to argue that “The play is the thing”.

Plucking the flower of speech…

Look, I am a very straight dude…but…

a man in a military uniform says are we the baddies ALT: a man in a military uniform says are we the baddies

I wish I could say that I still "wonder" this any time that I watch the news...but...I mean...

Comics Shop Tok Comics retailers are stepping out from behind the counter and in front of the camera as business booms

I wrote a piece for @publisherswkly.bsky.social about how comics retailers have turned into influencers and YouTubers to promote comics, their shops and community

super fun diving into the creative ways retailers get noticed online, including Bruce the Muppet from @thegeekerynj.bsky.social !!!

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

"WHAT ARE WE TO TELL THE CHILDREN ABOUT GAYS MARRYING?" Dunno. I'll ask my 5-year-old, who just married their stuffed bear to a stuffed pony."

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

Sir, I have seen Up.

And Toy Story 3.

And Inside Out.

And Coco.

And Onward.

You OWE my ass some goddamn therapy.

Re-watching old episodes of the Muppet Show tonight. Got to the Arlo Guthrie episode, and suddenly I think I know the answer to this question.

¡Olé!

These...these might be some of the best greens I've had in a long time.

Look, I freely admit to being so juvenile that I GIGGLED internally about buying food from a place called “Hotboys”…but also, goddamn.

"It's just a JOIN to the Left..."

Thought about it!

Not gonna lie, I checked it three times after, just to make sure it was real.

Jimmy meets Carnage! Original art for the cover of the DC/Marvel crossover. If you are a verrrrrrry motivated collector, it’s available now, at #ECCC table K-01.
