Which I still need to watch! Her second tape was also so hilarious, such good work from Seehorn as Carol realizes she has no good argument there
Firmly in the “PLURIBUS is a comedy” camp after the last episode. The garbage drone sequence had such impeccable timing and physical comedy.
God the new songs are awful
The return of @hotelfred.bsky.social to THE MUPPETS for a noir parody is the best news. Hope this means his previous MUPPETS comics come back into print.
Oh, hello! Looks like this has been officially announced at last!

An incredible run, everyone on the team firing on all cylinders. Amazed at what Montos can do on a monthly schedule.
I love chatting with @davidharper.bsky.social about a new comic every month! Really happy with the range of titles we’ve covered. It took me a while to get into LAND but once it hooked me it got me good.

Binging DEATH BY LIGHTNING put me in the right headspace to finally watch REDS and what an incredible film. Had no idea abt the documentary element, which is so well done and adds lots of valuable context. Keaton’s performance is unreal. Fiery, tender, vulnerable — she owns the movie.
Reminder that if you haven’t watched MRS. DAVIS on Peacock, you should go do that. Deliciously weird one-season wonder.
Always happy to see a GLOW alum in something but then the rage returns. We were gonna have GEENA DAVIS.
Loving DEATH BY LIGHTNING but still fuming that Netflix cancelled GLOW
#2 one of the best books of the year, hit the perfect balance of drama, humor, action. You can tell Jimenez is really inspired by Fraction’s scripts.
Thank you for your service
This is great. Did you read #2 yet? I thought it was even better, amazing use of silhouettes and panel borders.
