Attention Earthlings. I have not crashed... merely elected to land dramatically to inspire awe.

On a scale of 0 to 100, the romance between Louis Wu and Teela in Ringworld is a weak 0.2.
But Larry Niven seems real horny for the 22 yo Earth girl.
Perhaps Louis could explain it to me and Teela. He likes doing that.

When you see a comic book described as 32 pages... do you assume they mean 28 interior and 4 for the covers? Or do you assume they mean 32 interior and 4 more for the covers?
I assume the latter. Page count, to me, never includes covers. But I'm curious if other people have a different assumption.

Found a scrapbook I kept in the late 90s. On this page I glued my original Iron Maiden Somewhere in Time cassette sleeve onto some Egyptian stuff. But I'll be honest... most of the pages are pics of Kate Winslet and Christina Ricci.

I haven't listened to #KGLW in a while. I think I got over-saturated. For a long time it was 95% of my music diet. When Phantom Island dropped, I was going into a metal mood. I still haven't listened to the album fully, so I have something to look forward to! #WeirdoSwarm

At some point you must accept that you can't please them all. Stop chasing that ghost. It's paralyzing, isn't it? The fear that this person or that will not like what you created. You want everyone to like it, but they can't and won't and shouldn't. Everything is not for everyone.

I'm not sure if I ever posted this Zarp image or not. Was supposed to be for a comic book cover, but I never finished the comic. This one got away from me a bit. I don't love it, but I don't hate it. It's weird enough that I dig it but ghastly enough that it's kind of ugly.

I don't watch much TV. Sometimes I do, mostly I don't. But I watched Pluribus and fucking loved that shit. Right up my alley. Will continue this one for sure.

Photos of piles of comics and zines makes me so very happy.
“Hagai you have three more days left on your trip why are you posting book haul photos now” because I’m hoping if I post these then I can resist the compulsion to buy more. “Wow Hagai that really is a lot of books that you bought on this trip” thanks I have a shopping problem

Is there a good print service that does newsprint comics? I don't think Mixam does newsprint.

Dice kit ready for Monday night when we start playing #ZSF, my space fantasy game. A nice clean load out. I got that white d6 labeled "60" today and noticed a funny thing... the opposite sides DO NOT add up to 7. What the hell? Is this a cursed bad luck die?? lol
Opposite sides of d6 should = 7. 1/2
