If anyone who's seen Wildwood asks you if the area around Portland really looks the way its portrayed in the movie, you say "Yes. Yes, it does." I've been down there just recently and I can verify.

Book With Pictures is not just a comic book shop; it’s a community gathering place and an engine of local culture. Please help if you can.

This edition of The Hunger and the Dusk really is just freakin' gorgeous! And it's nice to have this arc all in one place!

IDW did a really great job with this deluxe edition--it's got the whole series plus some fun extras in one beautifully designed volume with more gilding than it has any right to possess. The title is gilded! The binding is gilded! So much gold!

*sigh*... Dead on...

Welcome to Monday, friends. It's a giggle. But I wanna hit the hibernation station myself at this point. I feel like August is the new February. It's like it was never gonna end. Have a day, y'all!! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Not enough fluconazole in the world. Looking at all the Gotham-centric story lines of the recent months, I'm delighted to say I have no freaking idea where this thing is going to end up. Cue the maybe last sunset in Gotham City. ...aaand... Go.

One thing that got me legitimately excited at SDCC was a renewed focus on...comics. Packed panel rooms. Big announcements. HYPE REELS. Look at this one for Bad Seeds, which I can tell you with no small amount of personal bias is going to be great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjeK...

Jimothy and St. Rat being Seattle's totemic representatives, seems entirely fitting.

OPB@opb.org

Since the video of Jimothy was posted on Instagram earlier this week, it has racked up more than 10 million views across social media. Jimothy has emerged as a pop culture icon overnight, becoming the subject of clothing merchandise, artwork and slogans.

We commemorate the 250th anniversary of this nation by carrying on the American tradition of dissent. Challenging those in power is woven into the very fabric of our nation.

This is nonsensical. Libraries buy huge numbers of books you wouldn't otherwise sell. They're a massive discoverability vector for authors. The reasons behind the declining author earnings are not hard to guess. People read less, have less $ to spend, +media is being consolidated by megacorporations

Becky Spratford@raforall.bsky.social

You all-- I never thought I'd see the day, but library peeps, strap in for a fight. The Author's Guild is going after us as the reason why authors are making less money. I don't think they understand who they are dealing with: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

The number of lines from this movie that became part of our language for decades is daunting. "...Dogs and cats, living together, mass hysteria!" turns out to be a surprisingly apt response to a lot of things, these days. That and "muthapusbucket!"

Once again I have to re-arrange my schedule because you guys are buying what was supposed to be a miniseries in your tens of thousands. (Black Cat Issue 11 is at 80k, apparently.) I am not complaining. This is a high class problem. Very glad you all are enjoying the book. 🐈‍⬛

I'm just going to remind everybody that the Jawas have been campaigning for their own sandcrawler lane around Greenlake for years now...

Your periodic reminder that LLMs are incapable of "understanding" anything and that it is all a function of "self working card trick" of language probabilities; it just generates likely sounding bullshit. Sometimes that likely sounding bullshit is accurate because likely sounding things often are.

I met Milo today at the store. He's a 13 year-old golden retiever good boy who's humans are taking him to the Mariners' game tonight for 'Barks At The Park,' and after the game he gets to walk the bases! Luckeee...

Went bowling this weekend, and I'm happy to report that I did not humiliate myself. Full disclosure, though, I was outbowled by a 7 year-old girl in a princess Elsa costume.

Ohmigawd, it's the Hasbro G.I. Joe Bill Of Rights Battlewagon, brought to you by, I kid you not, the tobacco industry -- redux.

People do what you pay them to do. You pay corporate executives to make stock prices go up, not to make better products. You pay politicians to get re-elected, not to govern well. You pay reporters to get a bigger audience, not to tell the truth. And so forth. Be aware of what you pay people to do

Sure. I'll belive it when I see it. If they are, where are they going?

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal authorities announce end to Minnesota immigration crackdown that led to mass detentions, protests and two deaths.

Heads up, comic creators, this guy is the real stuff. Hire him.

Simon is great at what he does. If you've been enjoying THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK, all that lettering is his--the fonts, the colors, the aesthetic. Hire him with confidence.

BREAKING: US national security officials are reportedly raising the alarm that European prosecutors are already collecting confessions from rich pedophiles that implicate Donald Trump, and now a dozen new countries beyond Israel and Russia have major blackmail on him...

This post is perfect all on its own, so the comments are nothin' but rich, tasty gravy.
