Heads up: I will more than likely try to say hello to your dog.

I’ll just leave this here for you. From my pal Rej. m.youtube.com/watch?v=1an6...

It’s one of those mornings where all the ideas that have stagnated over months and years are finally swirling together, unclogging, making sense, and catching fire.

You read that right: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar will, thanks to the approval of Trump's FCC, own 49.5% of Paramount Warner Brothers, and CBS, and CNN. One of many things to keep in mind when you cast your vote in the next six weeks.

"It was probably the happiest moment of my professional career." — Rod Serling on winning his 4th #Emmy (and the 1st of two for Twilight Zone) in 1960 He still holds the record for the most Emmys won by a writer (6).

September 14! New episode of THE WALKING DEAD at 3PM EST! Who’s popping popcorn? #mitchmcconnell

Caught COYOTE VS. ACME last night in an almost-sold-out AMC screening. Didn’t expect that for sure, and didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Did they miss some beats? Sure. Did they stick the landing on a movie that definitely needed releasing? 💯

THESE ARE THE WRONG 80 YEAR OLDS

SerlingFest was such a blast. The panels, the people, the town: all tremendous! Change of format this week but listen to us gush about a wonderful weekend.

A reasonable pace to draw and color a graphic novel is about three years.

Happy National Book Lovers Day, Twilight Zone fans!

Saw BRAND NEW DAY. Loved it. Favorite cameo: the track E.T. AND ME parading as the new theme.

Some news: our lease on Beach Street is coming to an end so we're closing up shop this Sun., Aug. 2, and looking towards our next chapter. Thanks for your support; we'll stay in touch. cartoonart.org/press-releases/2026/7/31/cartoon-art-museum-update-closing-a-chapter

Disdain because it’s perceived as a children’s medium and because at some level, the suits’ disdain for work done by craftspeople.

High five to @bootsriley.bsky.social —just caught #ILoveBoosters at the Chinese in Hollywood—extra high fives for the Tune-Yards score and the balls to pull it all together

”Circle of Love” by Constantin Alajalov- Saturday Evening Post Cover, April 8, 1961

UPDATE! STARDUST has been removed from the Eisner Awards ballot. Hoping the Awards make a public statement of some sort to own the initial shenanigans.

Congrats to THIS INK RUNS COLD’s @josevillarrubia.bsky.social for his Eisner nomination for BEST COLORING, for TIRC and a ton of other incredible work! And congrats to all the nominees—I’m excited for TIRC to be represented by José and also to be a part of the Best Anthology nod, STARDUST!

I've talked with several friends, legit pros and even Eisner-winners, who were not registered to vote and had to apply…AND a lot of eligible folks haven't even heard this is an issue. The deadline is the day after tomorrow, so do it right now. (If you got the email below then you ARE registered lol)

THIS WEEKEND! Come grab a book, some art, and a high five. @comicconoakland.com

We have a huge artist alley to explore, plus guests such as: @stevelieberart.bsky.social and @crazymorse.bsky.social (who did our awesome art), @jeffparker.bsky.social, @iamdavidbrothers.com, @joequinones.bsky.social, @davidtalaski.bsky.social, @eriklarsen.bsky.social, @mexopolis.bsky.social…

In honor of Orson Welles' birthday, here's an obscure (and wonderful) TV pilot he wrote and directed, THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. (Produced by Desi Arnaz.) This was supposed to be the first episode of a Wellesian anthology series. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKjt...

It had been a couple weeks since I’d started the ‘51, but she rumbled to life and for a few minutes, I was with my Dad again, smelling his garage, and my childhood. As I walked back to the house, the first drops of rain changed the asphalt’s scent in another miraculous instant. I needed both.

Truth in advertising, this is actually how much money I make

The fabulous, if, yes, somewhat idiosyncratic, 1979 Hungarian movie poster for “Star Wars: A New Hope”, by András Felvidéki.

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Love to all of those hit by the Disney wave today. Don’t let it define you.

Saddened to learn of the passing of the great #GaryKelley —a huge inspiration for me. We own two of his pieces—this is one, called “The Three Mikes”. His shapes, textures, compositions, and mood are always lingering in the back of my artist brain. Warm thoughts to his family, friends, and fans. #

A beautifully written look at our pal, Sam Kieth, from @cartoonart.bsky.social ‘s @andrewfarago.bsky.social : www.tcj.com/sam-kieth-ja...

Have you seen the great artwork created for Comic Con Oakland by the great @crazymorse.bsky.social? If not, then feast your eyes on this incredible illustration!

We’ve reached the point where my 20-yr-old and I are more excited about the out-of-print ELEPHANT MAN on the @criterionchannl.bsky.social being available than almost anything else.

Spring break is too short—especially when you’ve got a kid home from college. Bleh.
