I dropped off art in downtown Portland today for the Northwest Museum of Cartoon Arts that is opening there. The set up looks amazing, can’t wait to see you there:)

This city has problems but a war zone isn’t one of them. It’s just another nice day in the city here. #comics #comicbooks #portland

It's only 25 days until we open and we've still got $ to raise. The great news is that we've raised 41% of our goal - $7400 of $18,000! We need to raise $18,000 to cover 6 months rent and utilities. So we still have $10,600.

Why is Chicago a GREAT town for comics creators? Concordia University (IL) student reporter Eric Perry asked me and (separately) Jazz musician Joe Clark, who’s done some comics writing on the side. A great tribute to our community in this time of travail.

What Pulls Comics Writers and Artists to Chicago?

Chicago’s best-known nickname is The Second City. The moniker was coined by A.J. Liebling, a writer for The New Yorker magazine, who used the nickname to put down Chicago. However, if there is one are...

Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez are driving full speed to try and take the “coolest Batman comic right now” throne, I see.

(This comic - Batman #2 - rules and I loved this whole page)

Following great examples of care ethics in comics (@kellysue.bsky.social #fmlcomix and @jedmackay.bsky.social #moonknight), here is a deep dive on care ethics:

I was previously critical of X-Manhunt, but use it here to show a lot of the positive aspects of caring

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

I wholeheartedly recommend the doc "Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage," which really digs into how much they're just best friends and corny dads

Brendel @brendelbored.bsky.social · 5d

I’ve never been super into Rush but no one ever told me these guys were so fuckin adorable, they’re just old Canadian dads who love each other

M*A*S*H wasn’t just a show — it was comfort, catharsis, and a cultural blueprint.

This week on the Superfan Podcast, @kellysue.bsky.social talks about Alan Alda, Hawkeye Pierce’s sensitive swagger, and how comedy can be a delivery system for grief.

Symptoms since Monday, didn’t test positive until Thursday. So where am I on my Covid 2025 journey? Day 6 or Day 3? I need to know how many lines to scratch into the wall.
