Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I've been on team @kennyporter.bsky.social for years. He's a great writer, immensely imaginative, wonderfully collaborative, and an A+ dude who has written one of his best books yet with this one. And @tcannoncomics.bsky.social is going to be your new favorite comic artist. Mark my words.

And with the schedule for the week posted, this appears to be the final two episodes of WTF with Marc Marion we’re going to get.

Sometimes when you’re writing a pitch all you have is a funny title, and hey, that’s okay. You should have fun with that absurd title.

If you had a long week, you're looking to laugh, and you have access to Paramount+, you gotta watch the new Naked Gun with Liam Neeson. I'm still thinking about how funny that movie was months after I saw it in the theater. I probably will watch it again this weekend.

Huge shout-out to @thefakefangirl.bsky.social and Caroline Butler for making this dream a reality. And for reading the deeply nerdy, lore-centric pitches I had submitted and keeping me on track to tell an awesome story.

And I did go to the Kamen Rider booth at LA Comic Con and told them I loved the show and very much wanted to spend money on merchandise.

Dave Wielgosz @davewielgosz.bsky.social · 8d

This week’s Kamen Rider: Zeztz episode had so many things I love
-Unrequited love
-A fight in and around a church
-A bird man who shoots birds at people.

The first four episodes are now up on the Tokushoutsu Youtube channel. I love this show, I think it rules.
