Well this is all terrifying

A lot of folks argue about who is more important to comics, the writer or the artist. But I'd say it's neither... Without staples, the whole thing would fall apart.

DC has taken an even bigger lead over Marvel in market share. Tom King and Dan Parent are back at it again for Jughead: Piemageddon from Archie Comics. Dynamite's Buffy the Vampire Slayer gets an artist and a release date.
From the world of ONE PIECE, the Popeyes x ONE PIECE menu features a lineup of bold offerings: Luffy Bento Bundle ($13.99*): Two pieces of Popeyes iconic Signature Chicken, creamy Mac & Cheese, a refreshing Gum-Gum Fruit Lemonade, and Chopper's Cupcake, served together for a truly legendary feast. Luffy Bento Box ($7.99*): Two pieces of Popeyes iconic Signature Chicken paired with creamy Mac & Cheese for an iconic meal. Gum-Gum Fruit Lemonade ($3.49*): A bright, delicious lemonade inspired by the ONE PIECE original fruit. Chopper's Cupcake ($3.99*): A sweet treat as lovable as the Straw Hats' resident doctor.
Oh come on
There are lots of diehard Marvel fans and/or people who feel an obligation to support their team. I don't know if that's pumped necessarily, but it certainly has the vestiges of pumped.

Ah jeez that’s awful, and their loss entirely. So sorry to hear this.
Talked to the great @mattkindt.bsky.social about the return of Mind MGMT from @oni-press.bsky.social , his anti-AI logo, and much more.
Wrote about this “technique” a decade ago at length, good lord How To Write When You Have Nothing To Write About medium.com/@azalben/how...
Yep! When I was teaching sketch comedy one of my first lessons was start writing something even if it’s nonsense, and finish it. Halfway through you’ll have a better idea; don’t start that, jot it down somewhere and finish what you’re writing, so you start to train yourself to actually end things.
On today's episode we're breaking down the highlights from DC Comics July 2026 solicits, including Absolute Universe and much more.
Be aware that Wrestlemania is different from Wrestlehypomania though both can be followed by periods of Wrestledepression.
IRAN PUSHES BACK AFTER TRUMP ANNOUNCES NEW ROUND OF TALKS Iranian state media said no such meeting in Pakistan has been confirmed. The two-week cease-fire is set to expire this week.
This would be so embarrassing if it all wasn't so awful
Be honest: would you rather have a cure for cancer? Or a machine that can’t add and gets recipes wrong?

Hm, interesting. Taking a day to relax and read a book yesterday seems to have recharged me for doing work today. I’m sure this lesson will stick with me long term, and not be immediately forgotten!
oh so now it's illegal to put on a little play with your friends
If you are able to help support our site migration that would be amazing! I am very bad at asking for help but right now, @butwhytho.net needs it.
We have to get set up on a new host, work with a dev, and our old host still has not refunded us the $3k they took.
Anything helps!
If you are a politician who uses AI, you:
- Do not value human beings
- Do not care about the environment/future of the planet
- Do not have anything original to say, and are merely regurgitating ideas others created
- Have no problem with stealing
Why would I vote for you?
Let's do this, friends. May Day Strong. Shut it down.
I'll add: I will actively NOT vote for any candidate who uses AI for any part of their campaign materials.
I cannot even begin to tell you.
How fast you will move to the top of my ballot.
If you publicly antagonize AI.
Not your point, but I think about this a lot when approaching interviews, because we're asking about a scene they did fifteen different ways a year or two ago in the middle of a jumble of other scenes from multiple episodes and we want to know about what was going through their head. Who knows!
