Writer, mostly re comics these days. Paternal grandfather Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson founded the company that became DC Comics. We need to be informed and resist but it's also vital to continue to create in the face of destruction.

Then there's the medium size publisher who has the money and tells you, your book isn't selling therefore no royalties. Then several years later when you make an order to buy some of your books, you are told there aren't any left. We're all family bs until you ask for $ and then he's a nasty lawyer.

Thanks for posting. Local information is absolutely pathetic. I have searched all over the internet for succinct information. Local news is behind paywalls, county governments have poor information and the map is ridiculous and hard to read.

There is a primary in Virginia June 17 for Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General and House of Delegates. Early voting is available through June 14. As usual there is almost no information about any of the candidates other than Abigail Spanberger (D). More information is needed!

I've had personal experience with one of their facilities that abutted a family property. I loathe and despise them. Their facilities are often down a rural road in the middle of nowhere surrounded by prison fencing. The stench is gross with swarms of flies. Enjoy your eggs from Cal-Maine.

He is such an alcoholic. Everything about him. His lies, his blustering, his complete lack of control, his nasty vicious attitude. I especially like the tell of him opening his eyes wide when he's lying.

Yep, all it needs is a steak.

That sentence doesn't sound like what he thinks it sounds like. Probably written by AI.

Some heroic person should check out their almost secret high security facility in Baldwin County AL. I know from personal experience that it is highly unlikely they are following any kind of protocol for the life of the chickens or healthy processing. The farmers that abut them loathe them.

Your questioning of Greer was knowledgeable, intelligent, heartfelt and righteous. Thank you so very much for being a public servant and speaking up for the American people.

Y'all, this is worth noting. Everybody head to Pensacola for your Florida Vacay. The beaches are white, lots of good restaurants and historical downtown. Support blue dots in the red. Congratulations @gayforcongress.bsky.social

Nothing like a little cognitive dissonance from that side of the aisle to prove they're as nuts as we think they are.

First, as someone who is somewhat familiar with comics and superheroes, whatever that is, it ain't and secondly weren't both those people who got the checks ringers?

Intervention is way, way overdue.

I don't know about anybody else but I'm ready for the part of the novel when the villain gets what he/she deserves. That goes double for his stupid posse circling around on their horses in some drunken fashion shooting at anything that moves including themselves.

This photograph is by Gordon Parks from a group of photos he took in 1956, mostly in Alabama, I think. They're phenomenal. I've only seen a few. I'd love to see the entire group. And please, we cannot go back.

Can't go wrong with Cooke and Brubaker and of course, I love that Slam Bradley is in there.

Many of the pulp artists also drew comics during the Depression years.
