One of the earliest Softer World comics doesn't feature a picture by emily, but instead a picture OF emily. A terrifying baby.
I met a lady with the LITTLEST dog, and i asked to pet him and she said "okay, but he's shy so he's probably not going to, oh, i guess you really know how to pet a dog!"

reader, it made my day.

If you're not remembered, then you never existed, Charlie Brown.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain, Charlie Brown.
You're too short for that gesture, Charlie Brown

if we could go back in time and talk to someone about our day to day hassles, it would be mental illness. if we could go back in time and journal about our feelings, we'd win the PKD award for paranoia. but we can't go back. we just have to sit through this world like everyone else.

someone in some dumb video clip referred to walker percy’s lancelot as being in the second person which is a stretch, and then they said that along with bright lights big city they are the only good books written in the second person and now I’m apoplectic

Please believe me when I say that this meaningless, historically suspect slogan is being used to sell "AI." Here it is in the just-released November 2025 report on AI by Microsoft. www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...

I've been posting some memories and thoughts about A Softer World comics from the archives. It is nice to think back on what they meant, and where they came from. It's nice to visit.

Ballad of a Small Player was watchable. Colin Farrell and especially Fala Chen were good. There was a scene on the waterfront which made me understand and care about their characters with an effortless and surprising gentleness, and I wish the movie had lived up to that.

I've started watching My Brilliant Friend on HBO and it isn't afraid about taking its time. It delivers, but it has a patience and respect for the viewer that I find very refreshing.

October!

This year I wrote a horror novel called UNDEAD HUNGRY GRANDMOTHER BIRTHDAY PARTY. It's a demented and unrepentant splatterpunk love story about a girl and her grandmother.
