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.

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

You get $100 million dollars but for the rest of your life there’s a snail whose only objective in life is to kill you. The snail knows where you are at all times and the snail can’t die. Would you accept?

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.

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...

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.
