Literally just Gates McFadden as a brunette, come on now

There is no reason for Garfield to hate Mondays, as cats don't observe a schedule. The only possible answer is that Garfield deeply loves Jon and is saddened when he has to work.

“True love floods the insurance company” — important information from a dream I just had

The perfect is the enemy of the finished

Land owners should be fined for empty real estate until nobody is homeless, actually.

The satisfaction you derive from accomplishing a goal—even if imperfect— is more sustaining, character building and artistically impactful than a million epiphanies. Plus you’ll actually have a finished work. Your unfinished but still “perfect” idea is just that—unfinished.

Stop getting addicted to starting things; get addicted to finishing things. This is all my creative advice boiled down. The initial honeymoon phase of an idea is indeed intoxicating and intense but ultimately: fleeting.

I’ll make the effort, love can last forever

My favorite bit is when she says the counselors let Jason drown because they were too busy "making love." Not just going down on each other on the bottom bunk in the Seneca cabin, *making love.* Generous, romantic, tender love. Can you begrudge them this intimacy, Pamela, truly? Search your heart!

Julia's new one contains a scene that is what I would call a "greatest hit," and that ain't the half of it. Come see us at SPX @smallpressexpo.bsky.social table H11 this weekend!

Just in case I don't make it to the show

A few years back, @mikedawson.bsky.social and I had a comics interview podcast, and it was pretty good. We talked to a wide swath of a lot of different kinds of cartoonists, various professionals and critics over the couple years it ran. Here's a 3GB DL of it all: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/b31j4...

Here’s something you can get from me at SPX this weekend

We are taking the family to see Akira on the IMAX tonight. We are both wearing Akira t-shirts to maximize our teenage children's embarrassment. Neo-Tokyo is about to E X P L O D E

You absolutely must see this release. I've watched Akira dozens of times in the last 30 years. Last night might as well have been the first.
