It was all about trade paperback/collections of “Peanuts”, “Heathcliff”, “Garfield”, “The Family Circle”, “The Far Side”, “Calvin & Hobbes”, “Doonesbury”, “Hi & Lois”, “Life Is Hell”, “Bloom County”, “Rose Is Rose”, “Mother Goose & Grimm”, “FoxTrot”, “Sally Forth”, “For Better Or Worse” & “Cathy”
why did so many millennials read so many newspaper comics? easily 60 percent of my reading diet in elementary/middle school was collected editions of calvin and hobbes, farside, dilbert, peanuts, doonesbury (!), foxtrot (?!?) and i know im not alone. historically unique phenomenon
rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job

One of the most beloved and recognized Black actors to Gen Xers. If you were to make a "Jeopardy" category about his past roles/career? I'd sweep it, no question.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

This week, after many years, I listened to Sonic Youth’s 1995 _Washing Machine_ in full. I appreciated the sound of the layered instruments much more than my initial listens way back when. And something I heard this time around is JAZZ music. YES.
I realize I may be “late” in recognizing this.

I WAS going to get a pizza tonight. However, hearing Beavis amusingly say “broccolini” in an episode of the reboot series has me navigating to a healthier route, especially as I go into 2026. Need to make some dietary shifts.
(There’s a fancy mac n cheese and meaty bits to go with this.)

@seanpadilla.blacksky.app Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing yourself.

Also, about that chain store, I was on the site today looking for cool size 12s, and also had a challenging time.

Hugs to you.

I had fun creating an ink drawing/wash of Rog Bollen’s comic strip character, Catfish, with his horse M’lasses. The comic strip ran from 1973-1986.

OK, I'm going to say something that I have to put a trigger warning on
Has anyone seen the Stranger Things cast and Golden Girls cast in the same place at the same time?

What do Quincy, Little Orphan Annie, and Beetle Bailey have in common? They are all featured in drawing books of classic cartoon characters, and I drew my own interpretations of them in childhood. Check out this 10-minute video on YouTube and be amused. youtu.be/rjPYGRFWy3Y

I was also this >< close to pitching a 10 episode podcast called “The Rise & Fall Of The Source” about The Source Magazine to iHeartMedia but the day our pitch meeting was scheduled the COVID-19 pandemic hit statewide…

We rescheduled for a few months later but the shutdown killed all that noise.
Mannnnnnn!

For my fellow #artists, especially those who sketch/draw: did you ever refer to the drawing books of Lee J. Ames? Specifically, the ones about cartoon characters? I revisit this book in my latest 5-minute YouTube video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJfw...

In the spirit of it being #SpringAgain in the northern hemisphere, and the day of Biz Markie’s birth (April 8), here’s a recent painting by me. I’ve been playing this song every year since the time it was released.

Here’s a fun exploration into an Impressionistic art style. This is one of my challenges to be less “realistic,” and enjoy placing bold brushstrokes in a sort of “strategically random” manner. Enjoy this badass cat.
