I'm told there's a Puerto Rican restaurant in the town of Fishkills, NY with a framed copy of Fantastic Four: ¡Isla de la Muerte! hanging on the wall. That little comic book meant more to me than ALMOST anything else I ever edited at Marvel
A blue wall with a Puerto Rican "vejigante" mask and a framed copy of the comic book Fantastic Four: ¡Isla de la Muerte! Close-up on the framed copy of the comic book Fantastic Four: ¡Isla de la Muerte! featuring Ben Grimm on the cover, the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing, wearing shorts and a guayabera and a straw Panama hat, surrounded by chupacabras, with a backdrop of the Puerto Rican flag

An awesome and also absolutely terrifying high-speed car ride with @artofcoop.bsky.social
Selfie of Coop driving an open-top hot rod and me in the passenger seat with Busty's Bar in the background Coop driving the open-top hot rod on the interstate at high speed. There are no seatbelts or hand-holds in this car and my door popped open a few times 😅 Coop in his hot rod, waving! I lived, bitch

Surprised to spot this VERY early work by my grandfather Lorenzo Homar at the Blanton Museum in Austin TX
A framed print of Homar's piece Saltimbanquis signed and dated 1951 in pencil, featuring men "riding"/wearing pantomime horses, followed by a group playing traditional Puerto Rican instruments like a cuatro and a güiro, on a cobblestone street

This is a nice cream soda but I assume the sole reason for the color is so you can transfer it to an empty Windex bottle and prank your friends
A bottle of Frostie brand "blue cream soda." It's regular cream soda but it's the nauseating blue color of Windex

High praise from the creators of many awesome Kickstarter campaigns themselves, which you should check out. Thank you, folks!
1. Phil's Pick: Lake Yellowwood Slaughter [Kickstarter banner art featuring a slice of the Lake Yellowwood Slaughter cover art, with the "Project We Love" badge and screamer text "Funded in 95 minutes!"] Publisher: Goats Flying Press Writer: Alejandro Arbona Penciler: Gavin Guidry Colorist: Chris O'Halloran Letterer: Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou Screenshot of text: I've known that this Kickstarter would be my top pick since the moment it launched on the platform. And I had a feeling it would be one of the only overlapping campaigns between Kat's and my lists. A comic "adaptation" of an '80s Slasher movie that never actually got made. As a lover of '80s Slashers (including Sleepaway Camp 2, which was the film that the creator of Lake Yellowwood Slaughter was watching when he came up with the idea for his film/comic), this project immediately stood out to me. Everything from the title to the thumbnail to the art style captures the essence of the era so wonderfully that it feels like you're reading a comic that was lost to time from forty years ago. Lake Yellowwood Slaughter is more than just a retro remake. It also comes with the fun premise of a Slasher who goes after the horny parents of the teens that are dropped off at summer camp (a reversal of your typical Slasher formula that we've seen in many a Jason Vorhees or Angela Baker film). This campaign was firing on all cylinders and I'm so glad that it achieved the success that it did.

You can check my reply to the original post, I'm actually delighted by this reaction. Still, my response (complete with the priest's subtext of self-pity)
