Ea-Nāşir's perfidy seems eternal!

Comic

Panel one. Stick finger singing, "Raindrops on rose/ And whiskers on kittens."

Panel two. Same stick figure holding pot and singing, "Bright copper kettles leave/ ...Flakes on my mittens!?"

Panel three. Same figure still holding pot and singing, "Hey, these are stone with a copper veneer!"

Fourth panel. Same stick figure has put down pot and is singing, "I've been bamboozled by Ea-Nāşir!"

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Alert alert Ricardo Pinto rewrote the entire STONE DANCE OF THE CHAMELEON series back in 2020 and released the updated volumes in paperback. RUN, do not walk.

Gay sex, dinosaurs, imperial collapse, ritual mutilation -- incredible, incredible books.

This photo hangs in my home. Making Season 2 of #Peacemaker has been the highlight of my creative life and it wouldn’t be that way with each of these folks who I truly love. Haven’t watched it? Watch it now on HBO Max.

Alaska Robotics Comics Camp was one of the most joyful experiences of my life - I truly relearned what it means (to me) to be a "comic artist" in three days. I ate a lot of leaves. Also, there's no Internet access, which is awesome
