This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

Are we there yet?

Ah. I’m so old, I didn’t think about it being animated with AI.

I think that’s Twit Signaling.

The more I stare at this GIF the more I wonder what the hell is going on with it.

Finished reading the Dunk and Egg stories by George RR Martin. I wanted more! Hoping to check out the TV show soon. I feel so bad for these characters, though. The world of Ice and Fire is so horrific, it’s astonishing to see someone as wholesome as Dunk there. Like Superman wandering through hell.

Ha! I just noticed that! Ridiculous!

a poster for invader zim with a cartoon character on it Alt: An animated version of the cover of the first Invader Zim DVD. Originally drawn by Jhonen and colored by me.

This month is the 25th anniversary of the release of Invader Zim. I don’t think it was meant to be an oracle for the future, but here we are.

Some people still gotta have my Gotta Have My Batman.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

Pete Docter, Disney’s first Homophobic character

Same!

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.

My landlord lives rent free in my head.

Good to see Daicon being appreciated again. We used to share it at CFO (Cartoon Fantasy Organization) meetings in the 80s. Here’s Daicon III and IV.

Two chupacabra and a bigfeet please.

I love that Sean Bean is a sweet old man birder. (Instagram link)

Just reposting the classics.

“I sort of pledge my allegiance to the flag maybe.”

I think Grease is also a horror musical.

I bet when he finally goes we’ll all know because we’ll all get an achievement chest.

I can’t even listen to music with lyrics while reading.

Now that I’m in my 50s, all of the ads being served to me online depict old people screaming in agony. The saddest science fiction zeitgeist.

I hate that the phrase “cost of living” exists.

I saw it at the theater in 1985 and fell in love with it. Then I went home and saw critics Siskel and Ebert trash it on their show and I burned with fury. Burned!

Thank you! I’m working on it.

The cover to my novel, Hitherto a Lion. The cover shows a male blue-black lion looking left. He is covered in electrical lines.

My novel, Hitherto a Lion. The cover shows a male blue-black lion looking left. He is covered in electrical lines. The book is sitting on a red cloth table mat.

This is my book.

Hitherto a Lion is a love story and an ethereal space opera about a biomechanical lion who eats demons at the end of the universe.

I published this novel 15 years ago, and it’s still my favorite thing I’ve written. Please check it out!
