In case you’re wondering Christos, this is the zine Adam is referring to. It’s a whole thing, and there was a print version as well.

Let it be known that I greatly appreciate @christosgage.bsky.social’s glorious resurrection of my guy Wilbur Day, aka Stilt-Man, aka Stilty, aka the 🐐.
No one appreciates me enough for making sure the original Stilt-Man, Wilbur Day, was resurrected and stayed that way. But it's cool. I don't do it for recognition. Some things you do because it's just the right thing.

Apparently she did buy her horse from the movie, and I have to assume it was the single greatest horse the world has ever seen.

Game recognizes game when it comes to Sharon Stone and the development of The Quick and The Dead, I guess. She knew what was up.

This movie is, through what I have to imagine was zero intent by Sam Raimi, approximately 59% anime.
February 3, 2026 at 4:35 AM
We’re so back (to watching a Sam Raimi movie with a loaded cast for the first time in probably 20 years).

Thanks Furph! We were close to making minor history!

It's very funny he just got that (especially on a goaltend).
February 3, 2026 at 1:32 AM
Yeah, he didn't get a bucket against Atlanta or Chicago, and he only scored at all in either because he had free throws in the final minute against the Bulls.

I'm amazed that teams are covering him at all at this point, but he's certainly drawing every team's weakest defender.
February 3, 2026 at 1:31 AM
There's a very morbid part of me that wants to see if Furph can go three straight games without a field goal despite starting. It's quite the streak.

What's it like to create during a crisis? I talked with members of the Minneapolis comic community like @trungles.com, @zandercannon.bsky.social, K. Woodman-Maynard, and more about making comics during ICE's occupation, the ICE Out Comics initiative, and more.

This is open to non-subscribers.

ICE's occupation in Minneapolis has affected everyone that lives there, and today on SKTCHD, I wrote about what it's like for comic creators in the area, and how they're using their art to tell the story of the city from their perspectives.

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam
