The Count of Monte Cristo from 2002 remains an immensely satisfying movie. Big fan.

I was part of a pop punk site's discussion about comics. One person asked if anyone wanted to write for their comic site. I said yes, because I loved writing and comics. Fast forward 16 years later, and I got laid off from my day job and now I'm writing and podcasting about comics full-time.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Today’s comic work comes with a side of “Will you stop all they clickity clack, please?”

No, I will not!

I talked with @geneluenyang.bsky.social about his upcoming run on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but we went everywhere in a chat about his life and love of comics. It includes: His upcoming ADULT graphic novel Overrated! The impact of Eastman & Laird! The genius of Gurihiru & LeUyen Pham! Listen up!

It was a big week on SKTCHD, so I wanted to highlight what I was up to on the site.

It all started with a podcast landmark event: Grant Morrison joined Off Panel for the first time to talk about their comic book life and how they approach the medium, as well as a bit on Batman/Deadpool.

I just read/experienced Slices of Life, and let me tell you: there’s nobody doing comics like Qu. This strip is just one example of the glorious montages found within.

Sounds like it’s available from @bulgilhanpress.com still. I highly recommend it.

I cannot express why exactly but there’s never been a person who looked faster to me than Bo Jackson in this card.

The STILT-ZINE takeover continues! Woo! You can get yours right here…for now.

Coming up on 20 years of the former, but Girl Talk’s albums Night Ripper and Feed the Animals remain undefeated as running music.

This post is brought to you by just finishing a run set to Night Ripper.

I just resubscribed to PlayStation Plus because of the Black Friday sale, so if anyone has any game recommendations from the PS+ library, I'm all ears!

I have my beloved Untitled Goose Game downloading for a replay as we speak!

This whole time my fake First Take segments about comics were real and I had no idea.

If you're ever curious about what the behind the scenes conversations are really like in comics, here's a snippet from an actual chat with @kennym.bsky.social I just had.

My big takeaway from this week’s episode of Pluribus is Carol/Rhea Seehorn has electric handwriting. 12 out of 10. More whiteboard scenes!

(Also that episode was straight up creepy at the end, damn)

Dang, this note @kierongillen.bsky.social wrote in the backmatter of The Power Fantasy #13 made my day, week, month, year. Those are just incredibly kind things to say about my work.
