Thank you. He actually just came out, pooped and promptly hid again. We give him appetite stimulants so he'll show up for meals but they're becoming less effective. Trying to prepare myself.

Welp. Our cat has been very sick for a long time and we've been struggling to keep him with us. Now he's hiding somewhere and we've torn the house apart looking for him. Can't give him his meds. Fearing the worst.

Folks, barring any cat-tastrophes, Suze and I will be at Baltimore Comic-Con this year, representing the Mike Wieringo Scholarship at SCAD. I’ll be co-presenting the ‘Ringo Spirit Award. Visit us at booth #718 and pick up some of Mike’s original art or books. All proceeds go to the scholarship.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Trump and the GOP are gearing up for Martial Law.

Suspending our rights, punting the elections, crushing critics, and elevating Trump into Supreme Leader.

Every week, they're searching for their Reichstag Fire or trying to create one.

Yeah, I need full size. Never could get excited about the reduced-size versions. Hard to believe I've never read that book in any form.

I'm pretty excited. I bought all the others off the stands when they were published but missed out on the original. Then I had to pass up a pretty good deal on a copy I saw in L.A. because I couldn't get it home. I've been hoping for a facsimile ever since!

Richmond once got called one of the most hipster cities in America, number five in the country, number twenty in the world, apparently. Depending on your disposition, that either made you proud or made you roll your eyes so hard you risked permanent damage. The thing is, it wasn’t wrong.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

It's really reached the point where you can be confident of the dude's politics (and how public he was about them) almost precisely based on how much 'caution' the authorities are exercising in making them known to the public.

Oh *now* you show caution about spreading theories without evidence about a killer

Investigators said it could take a while to determine why the proud American and family man had carried out the attack on the Mormon church. "We can't come to those kinds of conclusions for some time," Lt. Kim Vetter, of Michigan State Police, said on Sunday.
