Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I love how the shapes continue from the weird protuberance at the bottom of the first panel, through the beam in the middle panel, through the corals in the last panel: all geared to focus on the close up headshot. Shows that design thinking was forefront even back then

Nice. I'd have remarked that the manga eyes show some Takao Saito/Golgo 13 influence if not for the fact that this was from 1966

great Mike Mignola page inked by Craig Russell that I sold during a big financial/ tuition crisis ---I really wish I didn't have to sell it--such a fantastic page--now owned by some guy in Germany I think.

I haven't been paying attention but a cursory glance at what's comic out it seems like the DC covers are more slick and cohesive while Marvel is pretty much all over the place

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

It’s Sleep #4 and 5 by @zandercannon.bsky.social ! Still more questions than answers. I have got less than bupkus for Why Is Some Stuff Red? But I sure as shit noticed that sunlight through a church window is monochrome white, but artificial light at the lab is a lovely blue*. This cements my

The covers of Sleep #4 and 5. Is alt text for the sight-impaired? Then you can’t really get into a comic book, so no point describing the covers, sorry!
