I write comics among other things. When I was a kid, I wanted to be the Mexican Louis Armstrong. They would've called me: Dirty Satchmo.

Sinners best American movie of the year for me followed closely behind by One Battle After Another.
Now I need a double feature of Sinners and O Brother Where Art Thou to get the full 1930s Mississippi musical spectrum.

I had a couple of interviews today with potential Beat/KCB contributors. Both women. Both mentioned that they have had problems with stalkers. It's been a constant thing I've heard during this process.
THIS IS SO FUCKING UNCOOL WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!???!??!???!?

I was lucky enough to do a cover for @henrybarajas.bsky.social 's DEATH TO PACHUCO #5 (avial to order now). The setting for this story is deeply personal to me - My grandparents (pictured here) were in Los Angeles during this time and (tho not Pachucos, per se) could've been targets of aggression

the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

I enjoyed Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, but I couldn't help but be struck by how much the design for his Creature, played by Jacob Elordi, resembles the design I did for Scholastic Books back in the late 1990s. We both paid attention to the source material.
