I would (& have in years past), but sometime over the summer a pigeon died on my fire escape, & I only became aware of it AFTER I took my A/C out of the window for the season. I'm not sure if it smells at all, esp in the cold, but now I'm paranoid about bird flu until it can be removed.

I've had that & a buncha other Urasawa waiting on my shelves. I suspect I may need to become a completist of his œuvre.

Ah, I see he's in league with Gotham mob boss The Minotaur.

Right there with you. Of course, there's the paid tier, which takes all the guesswork out of the hunt & becomes a class signifier. Then again, maybe that IS these ppl's kink. I'm old enough to remember when such sites just WORKED, but no doubt that wasn't profitable enough to their investors.

Have you tried Feeld? It's definitely not for everyone, and I'm still single, so... but there are many beautiful trans folx of all kinds and even more ppl fluent in gender/sexual permutations than most other apps I've seen. (That said, even the concept of online dating now feels anachronistic.)

I should add that my response wasn't intended as a critique, only as validation.

I neglected to mention artists. For POWER PACK, Mike Wieringo would have been perfect. Living, maybe Gene Ha, Mayday Trippe or Carla Speed McNeill.

For Hectic Planet, perhaps James O. Smith III, Xaime Hernandez, Chris Bachalo or Jim Mahfood: depends on the particular story.

1st time I've seen "Belladonna Of Sadness" in these replies. I get it on a SA & general sexual politics level, though its existence as the template for what we now know as hentai is kinda remarkable, even if 90% of the film isn't animated but still images.

Re: SPAWN, it was so bad it made me stop buying the comic because I realized Todd McFarland had zero vision for the property. But while in the theater with my dad, the best moment was when Michael Jai White blows up a plane on the tarmac, 2 rows ahead a dude said, "Yeah, a BLACK man did that shit."

The vet called yesterday to say that Pavement does NOT suffer from hyperthyroidism, as he'd theorized all year. Which just means he moonlighting as a whiner: it's his passion. I coulda told him that for free. But it's good to know that he seems in no immediately obvious risk of losing his 9th life.
