Hey, new followers! I'm Joanne. I write comics like Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville, Total Suplex of the Heart, Sirens of the City, and more. I even did a giant comic that's in the Smithsonian right now!

I like cats, fart jokes, and trashy reality TV. And I REALLY hate Nazis.

I still think all the time about when Kane PUNCHED HIS FIST upward through the center of the mat, and climbed out of a hole leading to literal hell and then John Cena went under the mat (where hell is) to grab a folding chair.

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

I have very little time while I'm in NY this week, and it was so hard not going to see Waiting for Godot.

I am in NY and have a few copies of Total Suplex if a signed one would be helpful at all.

Why did I suddenly get a bunch of new followers? Is someone talking about how great I am?

I've never had a date end up with yoga. I must be doing something wrong.

Joanne Starer @joannestarer.bsky.social · 2d

That is such a good insult

Oh now I'm so curious

Joanne Starer @joannestarer.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah the follow up email told me it was an important document and explained what I should do to open it, including "you can view it on your phone if your computer won't let you."

Joanne Starer @joannestarer.bsky.social · 3d

I wrote back asking about it and got a response that "It's a very important document that I need you to review."

I just got a fake docusign email from someone at @oni-press.bsky.social It looks mostly real but it goes to a weird site that asks you to sign in, and it's missing stuff that a real docusign email would have. Also, the comma after "review" where a period should be.

I'm already on east coast time! I won't have any jetlag when I travel!

I also once kissed a guy who was 600 pounds. I guess this is what happens when you're in wrestling.
