He looks like such a slimy little cartoon worm, I can't stand it.

I don't believe that the footage of the moon landing was faked but I *do* think that the laugh track was added later. "Filmed before a live studio audience" my ass.

I can't tell if he's 5'9" or 6'9"

I *think* it was actually Murder Of A Rock Star, because of how easily "Creighton's Law" came to be assembled, but I'm maybe 50% sure of that.

This week's throwback episode of our old Columbo podcast, Just One More Thing, is an absolute doozy -- A Friend In Deed! Top three episode for me, even though there's a bathtub surrounded by shag pile in this episode that gave me night terrors. Ben Gazzara directs!

I can't believe they let the Earth out of their sight. That was very irresponsible of them.

Okay, I think I heard "Matthew McConaughey skydiving" from over here.

When I post about comics, I very often get a reply consisting only of the name of some character I didn't mention - no context, no question, not in response to anything -- just the name. Like a prompt. Listen, I was *in* an improv troupe once, I find suggestions from the audience to be triggering.

There are no nation states or creeds or faiths that actually exist to divide you from people who are beyond these superficial distinctions your true peers and family, the true division is between this great shared family of mankind and the extreme minority of capitalists that rule over you

2019-2020, tried this podcast project, talking to people about things they enjoyed. Eight episodes, and they have not been available for a very long time. Putting them back up, I'll post the individual shows over the next week or so, but here's the whole thing.

I was on your side until the operation name.

Is there a drive-thru?

The aforementioned sly frog guy.

Me when I'm being a sly little frog guy who's thinking of surrendering.

"Well chaps" says Dan to a crowd, "You all heard that. Do we surrender or not?" to which they all reply "No1 Never" and "Tell him to go and boil his head!" and a sly little frog man says "Surrender? Never!"

They're also shifting a Frank Hampson Dan Dare page with this very yoinkable panel

Some of the most precise and textural inking you will see in a lifetime of Sundays.

Damn, I just like how Joe Sinnott inks.

Closeup of dialogue from the Jimmy Olsen cover: That Goody causes more trouble than the villains!

I hate when people say this about me.

A black and white page of original comic art from a Jack Kirby Fantastic Four introducing the ancient witch Agatha Harkness

The cover to the issue of Jimmy Olsen's comic book which introduced Goody Rickles, the "nice" twin of comedian Don Rickels.

Heritage Auctions is selling two meaningful pieces of Kirbyana right now: The in-story introduction of Agatha Harkness in Fantastic Four (comics.ha.com/itm/original...) and the cover introduction of Goody Rickels (comics.ha.com/itm/original...)!

A head shot of Superman from the period where he became a being of pure energy with blue skin and hair and a white costume.

A #SupermanDay post by @calamityjon.bsky.social reminded me that I've never drawn Electric Superman/Superman Blue so I decided to do a little portrait.

Fantastic!

I love how savagely wrinkled Gollum-in-a-suit's forehead gets when he starts blathering his nonsense. I've never seen so many wrinkles. There must be forty of 'em.

Yeah, I was in college during Death and Return so I was a little too cynical about it. But, I'll tell you this -- I was a kid when Marv Wolfman had Superman split in two with each of them having half the powers and I legitimately thought that was going to be the status quo going forward!

I think the only form of music that doesn't frequently say its own name is Prog, and that was a missed opportunity.

Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.”

America’s Mayor can’t miss.

#10 Lastly, let's put a bow on this with an incredibly improbable degree of fan-casting:

#9 Speaking of underrated and ignored eras, the final pre-Crisis years of the original run of Action Comics leaned into inventory tales, untested talent and nostalgia, and is a fascinating terra incognita...

#8 An underrated and nearly invisible era of Superman comics falls between the end of World War II and the start of the Silver Age, during which the groundwork was laid for the Superman of the 21st century...

#7 One of my favorite Superman villains, and one who's never seen the inside of a comic, film, tv show or cartoon -- the Laugher!

#6 It takes me a minute to get there, but here's a thread on a then-speculative Superman and Lois Lane marriage and what some of the characters' most prominent creators had to say about it:

I was very impressed with Superman, in 1989, adjusting his language in reference to his gender-changing ally Matrix.

#5 They said he was the Superman for a new millenium. They were right.
