- An aging, bitter, failed rock star is on a path of self(ish) discovery in BEAT IT RUFUS. I give this book four out of five demon-summoning guitar solos. No one does miscreant weirdos and losers like Noah Van Sciver.
- The Toxic Avenger Pinup Special drops next week with a five page story by me and Fred Harper
- New comics at In These Times, including one from Sam Wallman, a union worker at the most automated shipping port in the world. inthesetimes.com/article/comi...
- As comics grasp for new ways to make money, I am struck by this innovative method: embezzling money from movie projects based on comics that never existed. He's going to jail—okay so simply avoid that part and it works. www.comicsbeat.com/former-idw-e...
- Wow only the second graphic novel to ever win. I missed that the Pulitzers were even announced (I’m healing from media world brain)
- Free Planet drops today. One of the comics I've been most hyped for this year—read the first five issues already and love it.
- The debut issue of FREE PLANET is in comic shops now. @jebriodo.bsky.social & my geopolitical space opera from @imagecomics.com explores the first completely free planet in human history and has been designed – from the ground up – to function as literature AND art object. bit.ly/forlutheria
- how it started / how it's going
- thinking of the n-word lady and all she'll do—media deal, n-word coin rug pull, apology tour, inspirational journey to space—by friday.
- If you like action and page design you should check out some of the pages Tyrell Cannon has done for this book, which are through the link.
- Get a load of Fred’s cover for issue 1
- the little succulents have taken over alcatraz island very strongly. A lot of little guys doing their thing. some women, I'm sure--it's a kind of plant, a beautiful plant--and we're going to be keeping it that way, alcatraz, maybe even expanding things we're not sure yet, for the succulents.
- Big Ben Bolt. Real good stuff. Should be fully collected in a multi volume print run but it’s almost lost to time now.
- Free comic book day? No thanks. I only pay for comic books, as a staunch supporter of the tireless creators and shop owners who undergird this beloved industry.
- Reposted by Matt BorsSo thrilled that we already hit funding on our very first day. Now, we're getting real close to our first stretch goal - a pay bump for all of our contributors and print artists! comicscourier.com

- New illo I made for Troma to promote this book of Lloyd Kaufman interviews. The Toxic Avenger pulling out a guy's intestines to jump rope always stuck with me, so had to pay homage.
- Learning about Airyn De Niro who, as a woman born in late 1995, would have been conceived during the making of her father's hit movie HEAT (1995) by Michael Mann, also the producer of MIAMI VICE (1984-1990) which featured her mother. Few can say this!
- many people are saying
- I drew this lovely boy Gorm as an exclusive print for The Comics Courier, a newspaper sworn and dedicated to comics criticism. I long for a restoration in writing about comics the way the medium deserves. Grab a copy from their Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...
- I am becoming militantly radicalized around walking down the street and saying hello to people and dogs
- Mark Zuckerberg says Meta's chatbots will supplement your real friends: "The average American has fewer than 3 friends ... but has demand for ... 15 friends" (h/t x.com/romanhelmetg...)
- I drew this Toxic Avenger with Lloyd Kaufman cover, which I think turned out nice and gross.
- Reposted by Matt BorsMake no mistake. That Guantanamo memo CBS recently reported on is a blueprint to torture migrants without ever having to directly, explicitly approve torture. Here’s why.

- This is tomorrow in Guelph!
- Looking up smut (work reasons, professional) and clearly adding LADDER OF FLESH to my bedroom lexicon. Give it a spin this weekend. Climb those rungs!
- Tristan is a major talent and we are cooking something nice together.

- I don’t know where we are headed when AI churns out reckless lies like this, which people then spread around like wildfire
- Having your comic stripped of its words and put in a "meme generator" is an odd thing, but leaving the text that lists the comic syndicate as its distributor is a funny touch to me. imgflip.com/memetemplate...
