I started making comics in 2014 when I was 40yrs old. A comics critic, I was inspired by the zines and work I saw at SPX 2013. I thought, why shouldn't I make the things I love. This will be an ongoing thread collecting links to my work, free-to-read. Some of it is all me, some is by collaboration.
People like to cite Bluey as a fantastic kids show but it doesn't count because it's not a kids show.
It is, however, one of the greatest television shows of all time. You can name a great show and while Bluey might not be better than it, that show is definitely not better than Bluey.

This is unquestionably true. Even high water marks like Batman The Animated Series are mediocre watches compared to stuff like Puffin Rock or Kid Cosmic or Troll Hunters; shows like Thunder Cats or TMNT or Transformers are brutal in comparison.
Seeing some discourse about how bad kids TV is now and I just want to say: that is some boomer-brained bullshit. Kids TV today is probably better than it's ever been, certainly better than it's been in my lifetime.

Remembered this morning some friends who were musing that they weren't sure that their teenaged kids had ever seen them kiss. Remembered this just after perhaps our 17th kiss of the morning in view of the kids.

Book 37 of 2025:
The Secret History (1992) by Donna Tartt, performed by Donna Tartt (2023).
This felt like the legacy of The Talented Mr Ripley, a book where the murder midway was prosaic and necessary to the narrative but ultimately the least interesting part of the book.

That Walden Books bag probably had Akira #12 and GamePro #3 in it. My dad's almost certainly held Surfer.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I played the first 30 minutes of Control and wow that's a pretty cool game.

I saw someone ask if there were any YA authors out there still putting out work in the genre past 60yo and, like, yes, the best YA author of all time, Mitsuru Adachi, is 74yo and still putting out work.

Huh! I saw that Steam's Thanksgiving sale went up and thought I'd see if there were good discounts on stuff I might be in the mood for. Only like 25% of my wishlist is on any kind of sale at all. That's pretty wild.

Who the hell gives up on a water-damaged Invitation Of A Crab? That thing needs your love almost as much as you need its.
sometimes you go years w/o finding a book at the friends of the library that you work at. and other times you find a slightly water-damaged copy of "an invitation from a crab" sitting on top of the "to be discarded" pile and you can make a difference in the world for a moment...

I've been playing Planet Crafter, which is a terraforming/survival game. You're on a barren hostile world and thru resource gathering/crafting, you turn it into a habitable world populated by butterflies and animals.
Here's two shots comparing what you start with with what you end up with.

Remembering sitting with Michelle, deeply uncomfortable during the Jesse/Celine fight in Before Midnight, and then realizing that the entire theater of elderly moviegoers (at capacity and 90% over 70yo) were hootin' and hollerin' and having a blast — and how that gave me a bracing perspectival shift

We played two brainbuster matches of Scales Of Fate on our date tonight. One win to me, one to Michelle. Really cool game 😊

Tend (a flip-and-write) is farming/fishing/mining/woodcutter sim (think Stardew Valley without dungeon crawling and where the only romance is between you and your colored pencils) is in my 8yo's top 3 fav games (alongside Nature and Gloomhaven). We got in a raucous 5p game of it last night.
