Root canal wizard from Olympia,WA. Xavier/Indiana grad, Army Veteran. Bronze Age comics nerd. I feel compelled to share a lot of images of my cats. I will try to keep my 10’s of followers entertained…but that feels like a lot of unfair pressure.

Was it coincidence that a Reed Richards statue was damaged soon after this image was taken? I'm afraid we may have adopted a couple of Doombots.
January 1 @ 8am in Olympia, WA. 34 degrees F outside, 37 degrees F in the cold-plunge tank. Starting the new year with a ritual that reminds me that we are capable of doing hard things, and to stay in the moment. Happy New Year!

Now he is just showing off. I will never achieve this level of chill.

I hear you are having a bad day. Would you like to touch my magnificent tummy?

Morning bird watch. Ramses and Bastet understand that birds are jerks and they must be closely monitored.

I can’t afford this. Heading out to find an additional source of income.

The head of our shipping department loves his job.

Bastet and Ramses are members of the Olympic Synchronized Napping team. It will be hard to keep these two off the podium.

Pro tip: don’t use a dryer sheet if you want to get maximum floof from your cat.

Excited for the return of Forever Carlyle! I really appreciated the message from Greg at the end of the issue!

This is fantastic! It reminds me a little of the work of the great Jeffrey Veregge (R.I.P.)

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

I was able to meet the legendary Dan Slott this weekend at Washington Summer Con. He is one of my all-time favorite comic writers!

I did note in my review that the item was expertly packed and shipped. I am happy with my purchase from this seller. 5 stars.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

My view from my bed on most mornings when I wake up. It’s their passive aggressive way of encouraging me to get up and entertain them.

Kelly: Senator Ossoff and I introduced legislation to compel the rest of Congress to do what the two of us already do: put your assets into a blind trust, where you don’t have the ability to use any of the information you have to make money because of your job.

It’s a fuzzy blanket kind of #Caturday in the Pacific Northwest.

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts
