I stumbled across a TikTok video about cooking a chicken like a French chef, but the narration was obviously an Ai robot. The giveaway? It pronounced "Herbs de Provence" as "Herb da Province," like it was an informer in an old private eye movie.

Good morning, workers!

30 minutes of comic book chaos as artists I know yak it up while drawing a weekly goal. And they have 30 minutes because the clock shuts it down, no matter who's talking. It's a hoot and a half!

My friend J.C. Vaughn - we're having dinner in NY next week after the con - makes comics with a personal touch. This one is set in his hometown, Pittsburgh. It's also got Night Stalker/Night Strangler vibes

My pitch for a new TV series: a reboot of "The Littlest Hobo," but instead of a dog it's this dude....

It's Buster Keaton's birthday (Oct 4). He's my favorite of the old silent comedians, and 2nd place isn't even close. He made it look so easy, but as he has said, "That doesn't mean it didn't hurt."

"Mom, Dad? I know you were against me moving to Hollywood to be an actress, but guess what? I just landed a speaking role!"

I’m really enjoying the new fall TV season: Fantasy Cops Who Care Too Much, Mentally Ill Crime Solvers Who Can’t Resist Puzzles, Fight The System Doctors, The Overly Complicated Nighttime Game Show, Real Life Assholes, and Quirky Legal Twist Lawyers.

Written and directed by Mike Farrell, the "War Co-Respondent" episode of M*A*S*H is another in a series of B.J. Hunnicutt Loves His Wife episodes, but Susan St. James kills it as the Manic Pixie Dream Girl.
