MY historically accurate version of the Odyssey did not dominate the box office as I hoped.

RIP Peter Max 🙏🎨
"If any artist was responsible for defining the visual vocabulary of the 1960s, it was Peter Max, whose vividly fluorescent paintings, posters and graphic imagery were ubiquitous during the era of flower children and the Age of Aquarius."-Matt Schudel

If you ever wanted to understand how a sweet, doofy four-eyed youngster could turn into such a bitter, crotchety, gangley old fart...

...I don't go into it, but the sweet, doofy youngster also had a dog, whom the fart still likes to paint every once in a while.

This guy who assaulted a sitting member of Congress got 28 years and 10 months less jail time than a Texas resident who transported a box of zines that contained constitutionally protected content opposing ICE

If Trump can just close the Kennedy Center, Obama could have just closed Guantanamo.
“The worst place ever I’ve been in my life," Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker, told me over the phone from Guantanamo Bay last week.

Sakariye is one of 7 or 8 Somalis who are being held at Gitmo. They say guards tell them the order to keep Somalis at the facility comes from DC.
The Trump administration is imprisoning Somali immigrants in Gitmo
“Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay.”

This is true. He will. Unless he is lying. In which case I am not complicit.
This has been a mostly eventless year for me as far as comics, but I will be at Zine Folk NC in Raleigh on September 26, with books, comics, stickers, and art!

All this stuff ends up being very nuanced and hard to understand unless you make a part-time job out of it.

All I know is: better an open Kennedy Center than a closed one, but better a closed Kennedy Center than a Trump one.
She told him he had the most bankruptcies out of anyone in the room 👑👏🏾👏🏾🔥🙌🏾 Everyone listening at this table is SHOOK!

I did not know that. Did you?
the patriots are at home this week and unrelated but did you know you can write stuff on a beach ball and if its deflated you can put it right in your shirt and no one will know until you bring it out to inflate it?

Model ships are maybe one of the only hobbies where the more time you are willing to spend on it, the less money you spend on it.

You can buy the $300 kit OR you can buy $10 of tweezers, thread, and glue, and steal 50000 coffee stirrers.

Hey Florida, feed this guy to the alligators.

But make sure to explain why first, so he feels the appropriate regret as alligators eat him.
“Earlier this year a local blog called Clay News & Views listed bigoted statements Rawson made on X throughout 2023 and 2024 in which the candidate condoned slavery and called for gay people to be executed.”
Exclusive: He Marched With Nazis in Charlottesville. Now He’s Expected to Join the Florida Legislature.
