He’s so under appreciated to me.

I didn’t read these the first time around. Thus far, I’m enjoying it.

I’ve listened to a few audiobooks that are even longer than that. I drive a truck for a living and while initially daunting, after a couple days you just push play and keep enjoying.

One such was “The Definitive Sherlock Holmes” read by Stephen Fry at over 71 hours

I’m having one of those days when I feel like a failure at everything.

It’s really depressing

His cover to Blue Bolt #53 (1945), a poster he designed for the 1940 "American Negro Exposition," a painting of Harriet Tubman, and his cover to Sports Fiction (Winter 1943).

I have recently become aware that Archie did a short-lived Scooby-Doo book in the 90s and the first issue features this gorgeous Lee Weeks cover.

Please enjoy.

There are not many musicians whose music I don’t care for. He is on the list. He squandered what talent he had at the altar of his ego.

The more times I listen to anything he says, the more times I realize that time spent is gone, never to return.

Thus, I mourn.

You are, of course, 💯 % correct

And thanks for giving me a chance to use my favorite nicknames/insults for that preening loon, Kegsbreath.

Disinformation knows no party affiliation.

I do tend to agree with your caution in this case.

It involves SecDrunk Kegsbreath, so it naturally feels…off. Dude is a few rounds short of a loaded pistol.

Hooliganism is a word not use often enough

I used to referee soccer and umpire baseball. The parents were the worst part of the experience.
