I am actually going to tear my own face off and eat it

TIL that the Minions from "Despicable Me" are hard-wired to serve the most evil person on Earth, and also thousands of years old, so when the movie became a franchise, the writers had to strand them in an ice cave right after the Napoleonic Wars until 1968 so they wouldn't have to be literal Nazis.

What a drama queen...

A books cartoon for @theguardian.com from a while back

I got bashed for this page by certain folks. It's a joke, duh, and an exaggeration, duh, but it's based on reality (duh). Shops are generally better than when I was a nerd kid but shit definitely still happens.

Met Keith Giffen at San Diego Comic Con. I was in college and teaching myself to write comic book scripts. (This was before you could take courses in the subject.) I showed him one. He said “Can I show this to my editor.” The rest is history

The fact that fame has been so completely divorced from both 1) skill/worthiness and 2) the potential to profit from that skill is pretty much the perfect explanation for why "Just start fucking scamming" has turned into the free square on the influencer BINGO card. I mean, what else can you do.

i got a dnc autopsy result: stop listening to advice from consultants who still think we are in 1998

"I want to be able to be loudly racist" is a pretty shitty excuse to start a movement.

Last reskeet: A real interaction I had in my last days on Twitter was when a genAI PR woman was pushing her trash by saying how much easier it will be to prompt The Plagiarism Machine over working with "difficult, temperamental" artists. When I replied saying that was theft, she blocked me.

Right…

One of the few things Donald Trump and I have in common is that neither of us like his sons

Byron Allen’s fan is so excited.

Wild how differently stuff like this reads when you reframe fame as trauma, and like with all trauma, the earlier in life it happens, the more profound the effects.

Surely this is the fulfillment of some kind of prophecy

I could watch this video 800000 times and never get tired of it

Last Reskeet: Holy fuck I gotta make some graphics for when the full-color Banned Book Club drops with pull quotes from these dipshits who tried to ban it "Indecent" "filthy and vulgar" will "create dangerous anarchists" God DAMN, people don't say that about the literal PORNOGRAPHY I publish! 😆

If you read them now, Killer Princesses, Clean Room and the Secret Six arc about a prison island all seem like they were specifically written about the Trump administration. But they weren’t, they were all warnings about political manipulation that destroys our moral center. 1/

The apotheosis of all Star Trek

Now watching:

WHO KNOWS…

Trump's dream has been to silence every comedian who didn't kiss his ass, and he's getting his way.

Amazing first appearance of Mephisto. Both the dialogue and the art are absolutely perfect.

Never in a million years did I think I would be co-headlining a comic with Tegan and Sara but life is a real funny thing (Out next week!)

Today's vibe

Saw Mando and Grogu again and liked it even more the second time! Been humming Rotta's theme nonstop and that is an insane sentence.

Skeetin' a LOT this morning because I accidentally took a caffeine pill with my usually palmful of supplements, forgetting I'd already drunk an energy drink Whoops WHOOPS

Looking at the new Marvel catalogue... @panelsyndicate.bsky.social, you may have drawn one of the single greatest Fantastic Four covers of ALL-TIME. Can't stop staring at this.

The site of the crime! This school (in Lexington MA) is where Kurt finally convinced me to try reading comics (despite my *significant* reluctance). If he and I had gone to different schools, I might have never made comics at all. So now you know who to blame! Check out the whole thread. 🧵

Having an ABSOLUTE blast on these covers Detail from our Absolute Wonder Woman 20 Variant Cover - out next week from @dcoffical.bsky.social @kellythompson.bsky.social @cleanlined.bsky.social Rachel Dodson Inks Pencils/Color Me

Fun fact: urban populations of rats and mice are also resistant to hemorrhagic/anticoagulant poisons, now. Due to mid-20th century overuse. That stuff isn't popular anymore, but not because we've all suddenly become more compassionate. It's because, depending where you live, it may not work.

A CIA-backed coup d’état. Go figure.

Both times I have been to Brazil for appearances I was STUNNED by the quality of the local comics creators. I grabbed everything I could find and there was just amazing stuff on all levels.

There are a lot of problems with the Hobbit movies but there are delights, too, and Benedict as Smaug is just a triumph of acting talent and technologically creative brilliance.

I haven't been able to get to a comic shop for a bit, due to schedule and living in the boonies. And I realized I have the biggest list of stuff to pick up in ages. DC, Marvel, indie. I think we are in an increasingly promising era.

Big Red

So @lucianovecchio.bsky.social knows what’s good.

lol. That absolutely, positively does not say “Yankees.“

And it will siphon off the entire power grid to do it. This is the actual literal Matrix

The quest to get Iron Circus titles excised from the corpse of Comixology has been. Educational. But hopefully, we'll actually have a clearer idea of what to do within 24 hours.

HOUSTON WHY IS YOUR FOOD SO GOOD

WHY AM I NOT REMOTELY SURPRISED

Iron Circus gets a lot of "Plz plug my Kickstarter?" requests, but respectfully, gang: We have to be selective. An endorsement means I vouch for you, that I know you'll fulfill your project. And if I don't know you, I can't say that. ESPECIALLY if you're in the "first created, zero backed" club.

Woo-Hoo! @goraina.bsky.social and I got nominated for The Cartoonists Club! 🥰 Check out all the MANY great comics on this list (including the one pictured below)!

Also, the people who want to tell me alllllllllllll about their "superhero universe." Mmm, yes, maybe 25 more pictures of your glowering, ridiculously-attired, Marty Stu OC sulking at a city skyline will convince me you're worth publishing. Surely, VOLUME is the issue, here.

If you want to make a meticulously fleshed out and detailed setting and fictional history of a world down to the tiniest minutia You want to make an RPG setting. That's what you want. Stories don't need all of those details to be told, especially new stories in a new world.

Sucks to take "just a little break from work" to check Bsky and it's nothing but bangers on the timeline! I just wanted to be here for five mins!

Good night, gang!

Pre-order Mastering the Art of Comics before its release on October 20th! Join me as I pull the curtain back on what makes a Marvel comic special, with some help from my amazingly talented writer, artist, colorist & letterer friends! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/673614...

Who all is coming to @comicpalooza.bsky.social today? I'm going to be there, David Walker, and Jason Aaron, and lots more! I do not charge for signatures and am happy to sign however many books you bring. And I have small supplies of books and scripts! And a No Mauling guarantee!

I think the comics industry could stand to be less white and a less male. I see so many fans of color of all genders at conventions who would be ecstatic to fork over cash for a comic that spoke to them. And I know so many talented creators of color of all genders who are just not given the...

Today's problem is trying to name a new supervillain. The problem is after 80 years, a bunch of good ones have been taken. It is particularly annoying when a good name has been taken and used in a universe already, but for a duff character. Rude!

This is the first time anyone has ever said this.

This Julia Child rose has crown gall (sigh) but it's so happy and productive that I've just left it to do its thing. It has its own dedicated pair of pruners so as not to spread the bacteria. Life is brief

Easy one. @fablepaint.bsky.social approached me at CALA (Comic Arts LA), and said "Are you Spike? You wanted to get Iron Circus into animation, right? Do you know about Lackadaisy?"

I've seen a lot of "We reeeeeally didn't think we were gonna get another movie and ever have to address this" storytelling backflips in my time, but that one takes the cake!

Someday the computer will be able to count. Then you’ll see.

Ok this is like specifically targeted for me, hell yeah, eat it Bezos.

My time with the online group lasted from 2000-2011, during which it underwent a number of management changes, which usually meant a redesign, and the effort to port over older content was never deemed that huge a priority. Most of my written work from that era is long gone. But, so goes online.

Got tired of being in bands

Fucked up my A-levels sufficiently that I went to my second choice of university.

I'm not surprised, but I am pretty profoundly depressed that this is still happening in 2026.

Finally watching the new Game Changer and LOU WILSON MY GOD

oh. this is basically my ideal saturday.

I appreciate how NUCLEAR ORANGE this gyro shop chicken is, it makes me feel like I'm eating Star Wars food

I get comps of my stuff, yes. I was on the DC 'gold' list for twenty years, which included a copy of everything they published. I still have stuff I want to read and I like buying comics. :)

The poster for our special Pride kick-off PINK NARCISSUS screening by Nolan Brewer is here! A RUN OF ULTRA-SIZE LUXE COPIES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT THE REVUE THE NIGHT OF THE SCREENING! Don't miss out! With cocktails by the Shameful Tiki and sponsored by @baystreetvideo.bsky.social!

MOTOR WEST Day One: We begin in Lexington Massachusetts. Here is the house I grew up in. Well, from second grade until I went off to college. It was a different color then. I painted it one summer.

The FINAL ISSUE of SEVEN WIVES has hit solicits! Out 08/12, you don't want to miss the conclusion to the mystery of who killed Matthew Dunn, the aftermath of the shocking revelations from issue 2, and the fate of Detective Aguilar in the wake of the truth spilling out. Pre-order before 07/06!

I mean Coming out as Zoe. Changed everything is an understatement. My body, my sense of self, my place in the world. Beyond that, I would have never moved to New Jersey or written Blade Maidens if I didn't come out of that closet, and both of those are so fundamental to where I am now.

Now seated for

I am mr. 1000! Thanks for all the enthusiasm about all this. Can’t wait to show you what Stuart has done here!

I signed a bunch too! Congrats to @stevelieberart.bsky.social and @mattfraction.bsky.social for the nomination!

So, kiddo is super into Thomas the Tank Engine, but their knowledge of it comes only from a friend at school and a couple story books. *Our* knowledge comes from their secondhand recounting of these things, plus a few brief looks at the wiki. This has led to some peculiar household Thomas lore.

My dad bought me a Flash comic at a yard sale.

Now that people are seeing #TheMandalorianAndGrogu for themselves, here is my full, spoiler-filled review, digging into the specific details of Star Wars. What worked for me? What didn't? Find out here 👇 youtu.be/s_0w80IOMWQ?...

I suppose now's a good time to note that I don't really post about current media releases on here (aside from the occasional repost).

Nice. @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social’s submissions are reopening in the fall, I’ll probably be adapting this and adding something inspired by it to our list of rules.

If you are still using spotify get ready to be flooded with "AI made remixes and covers" designed by random fans. I'm sure it'll be great and not at all an absolute drowning in utter fuckshite. Enjoy paying a monthly fee to get this shit firehosed into you.

the only saving grace of the second Trump administration is that everyone involved are ridiculously under-qualified, incompetent kooks

Gasoline Alley by Frank King from May 22, 1921. Walt settles into being a dad.

I was going to call it PRISONER PLANE

That's why American companies keep stealing their artists. But it would be nice to include more of their writers!

Is this about Star Trek? Maybe go with GirlKirk and VagSpock.
