Nat Gertler (he/him)
Eisner-winning Peanuts nerd. Writer, publisher (About Comics), founder of 24 Hour Comics Day, sperm donor (retired). "Is he the guy who did that thing?" Yeah, prob'ly.
- I dunno… a movie about a small Southern California comic shop owned by a guy named Mike who puts his own name in the store name? Sounds like utter fantasy to me. What do you think, @mikester.bsky.social ?
- For them what don't read the alt text: this is not a real moment from a WB cartoon. Rather, it's the image from a serigraph superimposed on a painting by Edward Hopper, to demonstrate how much like a cartoon backdrop it appears.
- I had thought at times about signing up for ACX as a reader, but this is likely to kill a lot of that business. I've recorded books in the past for the blind and dyslexic, and won't completely condemn without consideration of that audience.
- Hate this a lot. Value human creators, writers, artists, narrators, editors -- everyone in the chain of making a book and putting it out into the world should be a human being. Humans make art for humans. P.S. fuck AI -- eat shit, artbarf robots www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...
- “I don’t think of my jokes as ‘dad jokes’ but as ‘pop corn’.”
- I went to Borders when they only had two stores. When I made a comment to the clerk about Maus being in humor, I was quickly surrounded by management wanting to understand the complaint. I think I Caused Change.
- "I usedta think that Bugs had a principled objection to Sam and his rootin'-tootin' gunslinging ways, but now I suspect he's just another dang antiyosemite."
- There is reason to suspect the Peanuts characters are all cousins.
- HAPPY MOTHERS BOXING DAY!
- Almost all of the regime's policies can be split it having the goal of "making a specific handful of people richer" or "killing people" (sometimes both.) The clear goal of trying to force drug prices to their price elsewhere is to raise prices elsewhere so the global poor can't get medicine and die.
- Did my good deed for the day: submitted information about that show-within-a-show that appears in the first episode of the new Poker Face season to Nestflix, the online guide to fictional shows and movies in this meta world of ours.
