Just realized I got ripped off big-time by a toy-seller at SDCC this year, and there was another that was also running a scheme so craven it was insane. I loved going and seeing everyone, but man I gotta stay off the floor next time. This is really just a story about me being a mark!

Having one of those days where I feel like my brain is a Cardassian holding me prisoner telling me there are five lights. This sounds like a joke but it’s extremely painful and isolating and exhausting and it’s been going on since 5pm yesterday. Anyway there are four lights

Friday, baby

Even if it was solely LHO, who knew what, who was aware, and were any other actors involved at any point re: the JFK assassination. The full picture. Also whatever the heck happened to those guys who got off Alcatraz in ‘62. Although I have theories:

A still tongue makes a happy life.

Oh Jesus, Glen Hansard. Saw the Frames in concert more than 20 years ago and I’ll never forget the band transitioning from “Star Star” into “Pure Imagination” from Willy Wonka. RIP.

“Sweet ‘stache, man.” I think of this scene at least once a week.

LOOK AWAY DOWN GOWER AVENUE

Stray SDCC observation: love the retro WWF toy displays dripping in nostalgia, but my theory is bc Hogan became such a problem, the key art on the booths is heavy Roddy Piper now. Like he’s the new face of 80’s wrestling. More Rowdy toys premiere every year. And honestly, I see this as a huge win.

It snuck out during the Gotham panel, but @mikeshenderson.bsky.social & I will soon bring you GANGS OF GOTHAM—a tour of the rough streets of the East End, its turf wars, its chaos. Anarky Jim Gordon Steph Brown Holly Robinson Motorcycle Duels THE WARRIORS and STREETS OF FIRE set in Gotham. 🦇

It’s very, very good.

Very happy Star Trek takes up this much of the IDW booth, in particular the new characters “sad guy with beard,” “Bajoran lady,” “shaved head Cardassian,” and “sassy Romulan.” You’ll meet them all 9/23 for Star Trek Day!

Every award given last night was to someone phenomenally deserving. From retailers to artists to writers to lifetime awards, it bowled me over every time. Every speech that went hard, made us laugh, or kept it simple… Comics is just an amazing group of folks. And the books are that damn good.

Okay so we lost the Eisner. The competition was incredible. But I have chosen a new Eisner, and that’s this glow-in-the-dark Slash. So I won actually.

@longtalljodie.com gets a shoutout from winner Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou on the Eisner stage!

This display was proustian
