spread the word throughout the land - The Best of Tegan O’Neil 2021-2024 is real, it’s now - friends, it’s a mega-wow!
in which we look back at one of the great missed opportunities of 80s Marvel - a book designed to tap the zeitgeist of an era’s stylish crime entertainment, the brainchild of writer Martha Thomases and the great Tony Salmons … abruptly canceled after a measly five issues. 🤪

look, at first I was annoyed like everyone else, but now we’re in a different phase: this is ground glass enema for the entire publishing world and I for one hope it continues until the toilet bowl is properly filled
I regret to inform you there is more Olivia Newzzi: the print VF will feature a nude portrait by artist Isabelle Brourman that is also destined for Art Basel Miami Beach. Notably, its inclusion appears be a surprise to VF staff. VF looking worse and worse here. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

It's one thing to quite like them but in my experience people who are *really* into They Might Be Giants are profoundly haunted individuals. Anyone can get a bit sad listening to Radiohead; you've got to be wrestling some fucking demons to be moved by "Particle Man"

I needed something for the car today and, lo and behold, here’s some live Hüsker Dü - what a treat! it sounds about as good as you’d expect, if the recording was any more professional it wouldn’t hit as hard, methinks. never my guys in the same way they were for so many others, but I can hang a bit.

Today is the birthday of artist Stan Kaye (Nov. 24, 1916-June 21, 1967). Most remembered as a prolific inker for DC Comics, particularly on the Superman work of both Wayne Boring & Curt Swan.

here’s a recent guilty pleasure - this woman plays the repertoire on the big pipe organ in Riga, and if you’ve never seen one of these actually in operation you don’t realize how athletic the enterprise actually is. certainly a staggering technical challenge to keep the beast lumbering!
