Ahoy, followers! I am liquidating the BRB inventory into what I call the Great Maritime Indie Comics bundle. Each is a grab bag of roughly $100 worth of indie comics by the likes of Kate Phillips, Dave Howlett, Zeta Paul, Sean Jordan, Fern Pellerin and more, plus little surprises. (1/2)

There goes the US defense industry. Why would any country continue to purchase American weapons.

Hmm, this might be an interesting list to make. People are recalling their first 5 RPGs played. I started around 1984 after picking up the D&D red box while on vacation. My friends and I quickly burned through that, then the blue box, then we all got AD&D books. I count that as 1 game in my mind.

After that we tried a bunch of other TSR games, like Top Secret (which I quite enjoyed) and another one about biplane warfare. I played whatever the edition of Call of Cthulhu was current circa 1990. I liked that game a lot because it discourages some bad behaviours you might see in D&D.

Headed east for art supplies and thrifting, then I should grab a few groceries, then take a bunch of stuff to the studio, and by the time all that is done I’ll be headed west to look after the kiddos. I think we’ll do some mini bookbinding and the usual baking.

All that said, I’ve long been a proponent of staying the hell home if you feel sick. That should be common sense. So I don’t tend to feel guilt or anxiety once I make the call. It’s just that making the call feels more nebulous the older I get. Do I have a virus? an organ slowly failing? Who knows

Taking the day again, not feeling energetic enough to work but might manage some puttering, even an errand or two. It is weird to be at an age and state of health where I feel like I’m just managing energy and stress levels in a mysterious personal dilithium chamber rather than viruses & depression

What if we didn't accept any of this as normal and just imprisoned every tech bro and billionaire and dissolved every private equity fund and used all the money to provide unlimited housing and food and energy for everyone?

Hanging out at home tonight instead of the studio, first horror movie is Kristen Stewart almost 20 years ago in the Pang brothers’ The Messengers, also starring a very hot Dylan McDermott and Penelope Ann Miller. Produced by Sam Raimi’s company Ghost House.

I have about a dozen of these, a couple I am giving away to Patreon folks and the rest are yours for $50 apiece plus $20 for a prepaid shipping box in Canada. I’d love to see folks in the western provinces get their hands on some. DM if interested, payments will be via e-transfer. CDN addresses only

New video on my Patreon and Youtube about the writing process in my comics, layout and storyboarding, my thoughts on generative AI (it’s bad) and creative decision making at different stages. Enjoy. Do be a dear and join the Patreon, you can do so for free. www.patreon.com/scottmarshal...

A friend years ago told me she liked how I drew hair. I always think of her now when I draw it and it makes me smile. And then I also feel sad, because she died in her early 20s, over 30 years ago, because she was young and poor and diabetic in Tennessee. Her name was Melisa Walker.

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

Is this the same dickhead that is pals with a PC candidate in Ontario or Quebec and keeps sticking his nose into Canadian politics? Throw that piece of shit in a cell if he crosses the border again

Ramaswamy is a sick, morally bankrupt piece of shit exploiting a woman’s rape at age 12 to win an election. He gave her estranged, abusive mother a platform to weaponize her childhood trauma. There is something profoundly fucking wrong with this man. He has no business holding public office. 🤬

Dear Canadian pundit class, You DO NOT under any circumstances have to give Jason Kenney any credit for his work on the remain side of the referendum. He created this mess by legitimizing the separatists after inviting them into his party and trying to use them to leverage the federal government.

You know what treason looks like? The MAGA regime removing sanctions from Putin’s Russia whilst hitting Canada with trade war tariffs. Fuck you to everyone who supports this depraved bullshit.
