Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.
A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a beetle is on the phone in his house. He says, “hey man— for the party tonight… don’t bring any poop.” Panel 2: on the other end of the call is a dung beetle. He responds, “really? You sure?” Panel 3: shrugging towards another dung beetle, the first dung beetle says, “he says they’re good on poop.” Somewhat incredulous, the second dung beetle says, “I just rolled it!” He is leaning against a mostly out of frame huge ball of poop.

If Hamlet were performed by the Muppets, I posit Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker would be Rosencrantz and Guildenstern... Or would it be Guildenstern and Rosencrantz?

Like CATS?
Like SPACE?
Like MECHS?
Like SHOOTING STUFF.
Like QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ETHICS OF CONSENT IN UPLIFTING ANIMALS AND ALSO THE HEALING OF TRAUMA THROUGH KINDNESS

Then, my friend, put the 6TH OF OCTOBER in your diary. Audio and EBOOK release of BEASTS OF THE WILD BLACK. (Tell everyone.)
A cat is looking out of a human space suit at you. That's what we call in the trade, a visual metaphor. Now comes the blurb. Years ago, Deep Strike cadet Min Law was left behind during what was meant to be a routine operation. Though he survived, the resulting trauma almost ended his career. Now, as captain of the DST Thunberg, he is preparing to take his crew on a similar journey to a seemingly quiet world following a garbled distress signal. The mission is simple on paper: find the source of the call, offer aid, return home. But nothing is simple in the Wild Black at the edges of the unexplored universe. As the crew of the Thunberg searches for the signal’s source, they find strange ships and corpses that shouldn’t be there. The mysteries begin to pile up. What happened out here? And why does some of the technology look horribly familiar? Fortunately, Min’s team of animal counterparts is prepared for anything. The bear, Sitka Pete, is eight hundred pounds of loyal muscle. The rooks are quick and coordinated, perfect for reconnaissance. And the cats, Oz and Hinder, well, they’re just cats. But together they’re more than up for whatever the Wild Black can throw at them—even if this region isn’t quite so unexplored after all . . .

OK, so, if you brought a water bottle to an interview that'd be okay, right? Do they not drink coffee at these work places? What if the interviewer offers a coffee, is that a test? If a human needs refreshment to operate, is that the disqualifier? If no coffee, I get the job, right?

The image is of a four panel comic. In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.” The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”. The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”. The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

The image is of a four panel comic. The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!" The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!" The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old". We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".

Picked up this copy of the Hobbit and while I already have, like, three copies of the book, this one is too pretty not to get.
A copy of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit". The cover is flat black with glossy black mist/clouds over gold tipped mountain ranges. The are are two giant eagles in gold as well. J.R.R. Tolkien, title page of "The Hobbit". There's a hand drawn image of Smaug taken from the fictional map drawing. A chapter illustration of the the three trolls, early in the book. It is in black and white and depicts trolls amidst trees in the darkness, behind a clearing that is brightly lit by a campfire. Smoke plumes into the air in artistically rendered whisps, almost like waves.

The image is of a four panel comic. In panel one, we see a man sitting at a restaurant table. He is sweating. He says "Y-you have beautiful eyes". The second panel zooms in on the man's face. He says, "I'm sorry. I'm just so nervous." In panel three we see that a biblically accurate angel is sitting on the other side of the table. In panel four we zoom in on the angel's face, who says "BE NOT AFRAID".

Started playing "LIBERATED" (2020) an accurate depiction of today's AI extreme surveillance. Well done and I'm sure the writers are feeling vindicated at the messaging

Can we talk about how good DREDD is? I'm like a walking billboard for that movie. Never takes the helmet off, like the character, and it's not big stakes, just another day in the life of a judge.

Carnevale, the Italian festival on the Tuesday before lent (sometimes referred to as "Fat Tuesday") comes from the words "Carne" (meat) and the latin "Vale" (hail and farewell) roughly translating to "Farewell to Meat" as one abstains from meat during much of the lent season.

The image is of a four panel comic. The title above the first two panels reads, "Dog Toys". The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a bone shaped dog toy. She says, "Look!" The second panel shows a dog wagging its tail. There is a speech bubble leading back to Sarah saying "It squeaks!" The title above the last two panels reads, "Cat Toys". In panel three we see Sarah again. She says "Come, child." Panel four shows a cat raising its paws in glee. We see Sarah's hands holding cat nip. We see a speech bubble leading back to Sarah saying "It is time to do drugs".
