One of my most fun days on the internet ever was accidentally introducing this cover to a bunch of babies who were not alive in 1993.

Frankenstein’s Monster, YouTube sketch.

www.youtube.com/@frankchoartist

Just saw Del Toro’s Frankenstein.

I enjoyed it. Great nod to Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein and aesthetics.

This movie will definitely confuse people who haven’t read the original Frankenstein story by Mary Shelley though.

Today is the birthday of legendary artist Bernie Wrightson (Oct. 27, 1948-March 18, 2017.)

A photo of Wrightson wearing a Frankenstein t-shirt, with several zombie hands reaching out for him.

Three examples of his art. The top is a spread from his adaptation of Frankenstein, the second is the cover to House of Secrets #92, and third is Swamp Thing #1.

If the federal shutdown continues, 42 million Americans will not receive new SNAP benefits after October 31st. It is anticipated full benefits will be issued as quickly as possible once federal operations resume.

To find a pantry near you: www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

Splash of the Justice Society of America from All-Star Comics #14's "Food for Starving Patriots!" with a boxed in red, starred, bullet list containing my tips to prepare, including:

Check your EBT card balance regularly and continue following SNAP rules/reporting requirements.

Start planning out lower‐cost meal ideas and stock up now. (ex: dry pasta, oats, beans, rice, canned items, seasonal produce).

Freeze or preserve extra portions to reduce spoilage and avoid waste.

Don’t wait until the last minute to visit food pantries. Shelves can clear quickly.

A print ad for the Don Post 'Dick Tracy' masks featured in the magazine Comics Scene in 1990. It also features a series of masks based on the film 'Gremlins 2: The New Batch'.

As a t-shirt wearer, I try to avoid Gilden. I can tell how much I really like a design if it is on Gilden.

can we start a rumor that the owner of Gilden is MAGA so people will stop using their t-shirt blanks? Worst shirts in the business

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

(Exclusive.) Bari Weiss this week clocks up four weeks on the job as chief booker (sorry, editor-in-chief) of CBS News. Breaker hears that she has unimpressed staffers with a series of bold ideas in the 9 am call.

Last week, following the jewel heist at The Louvre, Weiss suggested they interview author Dan Brown. Staffers questioned what expertise in the matter Brown would provide CBS News viewers? Brown is well known as the bestselling author of the 2003 mystery novel, The Da Vinci Code, about a murder at The Louvre.

On Tuesday’s 9 am call, Weiss suggested a story about how people who are scared of climate change aren’t having children. “She is showing her worst self,” one CBS News journalist told Breaker. “People are running to avoid her.”

I don’t buy vintage vinyl records, but buying old underground comics is about as close as I’ll probably get to understanding what it feels like to find some rare punk/indy record.

Excited to start reading this. It collects the start of the Marvel series, which was the fourth comic book series I ever read regularly after G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Conan the Barbarian. And the only one of them I haven't revisited since it originally came out.

Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Omnibus volume one.
