He/him/just a man, with a man's courage. Comics, Magic: the Gathering, poptimism and various shades of other assorted nerd nonsense. I do try to be better, but also, I promise nothing. Never trust a Tory. Trans rights are human rights, FFS.
Just sub-posting a couple of things I've seen. First off, Gordon Brown isn't this lovable statesman, he is very responsible for scaffolding the 2008 crash which ushered in austerity and, second, Eternals might not be a bad film, maybe, but it is arse-gnawingly boring and stupid and it is also bad.

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…
Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.
Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

They decided I didn't look like a Christopher when I arrived, which is fine.
Almost got Keith after Keith Moon died, dodged a bullet there.
Seen the book of baby names that my parents went through and don't you dare think that my mum didn't circle Zebedee, I tell you what.

introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you
would I still use an art alias if I was named "Chevy King" like my dad wanted? Probably

1) You may not see a lot of Sal Buscema's influence on my own art style, but I am thankful for the part he played in my comic art life. I don't think I've told many people the following story, but I had a wonderful lunch with Sal when I was in high school...

RIP, my pal Sal. In a time of flashy inconsistency, he was just a very, very good storyteller. He didn't even want to pencil!
Just a few hours after celebrating Sal B's birthday, I got the news that Sal has passed away. An enormous loss for our industry and for all of us who knew and worked with him. Safe journeys, Sal. We'll miss you.
Sal Buscema turns 90 today. There's hardly a Marvel character Sal hasn't left his mark on, from Cap to the Hulk, Avengers to Thor. Working with Sal for two years on Spectacular Spider-Man remains a highlight of my career. And the best part? He's not just a great artist, he's a truly good guy.
