Softly telling my deadlines that I meant well today, not making eye contact.

Somebody hire me to write Satanik comics.

It's morning, and since mornings are a time when the average person is thinking of sex nests, here's a 1965 paperback and the original Ernest Chiriacka cover art.

All right, just turned in the last strips of my second year on FLASH GORDON. That's 730 installments in the bag -- appearing in a rough average of 1.5 panels per strip, I've drawn Flash about 1,095 times. Still takes me a couple tries to get his hair right. Tomorrow we start on year three ⚡

Flash Gordon and Prince Thun take on a squad of green-skinned Shark Men

And old man looks up at a mural of Flash Gordon crossing swords with Ming the Merciless.

Flash Gordon frees Edda from her locked helmet, and the mechanic can't help herself from laying a smooch on him.

Flash Gordon negotiates with Empress Aura. "Tch. Fine," she sneers, conciliating. "Savior of the Universe..."

He smiles back. "You love it."

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 1d

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

It should be very very clear to everyone right now that the Attorney General was asked under oath if she possesses pics of the President with undressed teens and she refused to say “no.”

Interesting to see the small changes, the style differences, etc. 1960 on the left. 1973 on the right.

On my lunch break, looking at original Rudolf Sieber-Lonati art online. Crazy shit, my friends. Love it.

Just spent a hundred dollars on groceries and that has raised me up to the level of "Still kinda need to go get groceries."

A couple of nice original art pieces as I wander around online, this morning. A Groo page, by Sergio, and then Guido Buzzelli working out some character designs.

Create NSFW art

Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime

Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art

This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like

Always resist oppression

I, uh, might be making a blog of Bill's originals of that nature, too.

He isn’t kidding when he calls this the greatest comic ever made. Right in the overlap of My Favorite Comics and My Kid’s Favorite Comics.

Paul Tobin @paultobin.bsky.social · 2d

Reminding you that the single greatest comic ever made (according to 100% of my moms) has a fifth collection out, and securing a copy for yourself and your loved ones assures you a +1 to your "whimsy."
