I got diagnosed with stage IVa prostate cancer. I got treated w/radiation and hope it worked. If I’m cured, it’s thanks to research, doctors, and medical science. Not because of anything that monster in the white house can do.
In fact, he’s made it less likely that others could get the care I had.

Adams has railed against vaccines, and science in general, for many years. Kennedy cut funding for promising work including mRNA vaccines for prostate cancer. Just, the audacity here.

I continue to feel that our national experiment of making the dumbest MF in the country president was ill advised.

Just a reminder that #Halloween is literally 2 months from now. Selling candy or decorations at this point is kinda goofy. Looking at you, Kroger and Lowe's.

I went to see Fantastic Four: First Steps today. I walked out afterwards saying it was 90% of the Fantastic Four film I hoped it would be. Pretty amazing that a corporate Marvel film got it so close.
The brief "Kirby in his studio" shot nearly brought me to tears. Blink and you'll miss it.

Working on page 39 of my latest #comic. I was proud of this panel, depicting the bouts of petulance and occasional anger I experience while taking ADT (androgen deprivation therapy). Not proud of the bouts, but like the drawing.

I've gone back to working on my comic about what happens after radiation treatment and you're awaiting the results, after nearly 2 years of #prostatecancer. Page 38, about planting banana trees.

James Burns in his latest autobiographical comic THE DEATH OF ME? kicks it up several notches as Burns runs headlong into stage IV prostate cancer.
Strongly stated and moving, Burns' Kirby-esque approach is especially well-suited to this literal life-or-death ordeal.
