Ah good, data centres are not only horrible for the planet, they are also fire hazards.

Just felt like watching something about the Master. Some days, today... top Ten? Top Five? Something so odd and compelling about this one.

I haven't done 24hr Comic Day in ages. Never done Inktober. I always get to this point and think I should just WORK ON MY COMIC. And then proceed to draw jack shit for the rest of the month.

I was walking in the rain the other day listening to Billy Joel's Piano Man, and thought "But with comics..."

Drawing of a grizzled guy in a bar, drawing in a sketchbook. At another table a guy says Ain't that T.Walker and his friend says Holy smokes it is! Meanwhile another drunk approaches Walker and says Man what are you doing here?!

I loved it so much. One of my top movies of recent years. That was my desktop image for much of this year.

Ditto for Canada Post. Public services are not required to make profits - they are required to serve our needs.

We are told that public transit is not generating enough revenue but when was the last time you heard a right-wing politician or columnist complain that the police force just isn't profitable enough?

Cartoonist Jesse Duquette honored the guy who escaped ICE on his bike with a new cartoon.

Cartoon with a white background on the left and a black silhouette of a man on a bike with the word ANTI in black lettering at the top. On the right 1/3 it’s a black background with a heavy white figure with ICE written across his chest and it says FA at the top.

This is how I went eight, nine? years without ever hearing the sound of Tr*mp's voice. Reading his blathering words, but not having to listen to them delivered.

I grabbed a couple of ebooks from the library earlier, (as I had finished Mick Herrons This is What Happened), and get to the dedication page on the first book and it says "For Jason". All right, let's go!

Here's a few of the FULL TILT wraparound sketch covers I did for the sketch cover version of the ashcan I made for the book. I have a whole book of the sketch covers I did up at the link below.

“You’ve got sadness in you, I’ve got sadness in me – and my works of art are places where the two sadnesses can meet, and therefore both of us need to feel less sad.”
