It had been a couple weeks since I’d started the ‘51, but she rumbled to life and for a few minutes, I was with my Dad again, smelling his garage, and my childhood. As I walked back to the house, the first drops of rain changed the asphalt’s scent in another miraculous instant. I needed both.
Truth in advertising, this is actually how much money I make
The fabulous, if, yes, somewhat idiosyncratic, 1979 Hungarian movie poster for “Star Wars: A New Hope”, by András Felvidéki.
Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.
Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.
This is what corporate greed looks like.
Love to all of those hit by the Disney wave today. Don’t let it define you.
Saddened to learn of the passing of the great #GaryKelley —a huge inspiration for me. We own two of his pieces—this is one, called “The Three Mikes”. His shapes, textures, compositions, and mood are always lingering in the back of my artist brain. Warm thoughts to his family, friends, and fans. #
A beautifully written look at our pal, Sam Kieth, from @cartoonart.bsky.social ‘s @andrewfarago.bsky.social : www.tcj.com/sam-kieth-ja...
Artwork of a monster attacking Oakland's famous dockyard, illustration by Scott Morse!
Have you seen the great artwork created for Comic Con Oakland by the great @crazymorse.bsky.social?
If not, then feast your eyes on this incredible illustration!
We’ve reached the point where my 20-yr-old and I are more excited about the out-of-print ELEPHANT MAN on the @criterionchannl.bsky.social being available than almost anything else.
Spring break is too short—especially when you’ve got a kid home from college. Bleh.
NYT headline reads: "Trump’s Signature to Be Added to U.S. Dollars President Trump is set to be the first sitting president to have his signature appear on America’s currency."
The year is 2030. I now own a home in every walkable US neighborhood, which I've paid for by selling rubber stamps that say "refused to release the Epstein files"
I bet there’s gonna be a lot of sharpies going dry as this is addressed upon the receipt of every bill in the hands of the people. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
Goldman Sachs reports that 300 million full-time jobs could be replaced by AI by 2030. Labor turnover is high and hiring has slowed. 71% of Americans worry that AI will cause permanent job loss. As young people about to enter the workforce for the first time, the fear of unemployment is understandable, but we cannot save ourselves with the very tool that is putting us at risk. The irony is that as Penn pours endless money and energy into AI advancement in its attempt to get ahead, the University is only quickening its own demise. AI cannot coexist with education — it can only degrade it. As technology advances and workers are replaced by machines, schools are some of the only places we have left to explore and wrestle with human thought. With our own university leading the charge, AI is now corrupting those few sacred spaces and leaving us with nowhere to engage in true scholarship. Editorials represent the majority view of members of The Daily Pennsylvanian Editorial Board who meet regularly to discuss issues relevant to the Penn community. This body is led by Editorial Board Chair Jack Lakis and is entirely separate from the newsroom. Questions or comments should be directed to letters@thedp.com.
An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it.

The Oscar Ballot you fill out for the friendly competition you’re trying to win between friends and family based on how you know the Academy will vote vs. what you’d actually vote for= what’s really wrong with the film industry #oscars
THE MURDER OF MAKE-BELIEVE: story’s locked. Pages have begun. This might be a title page or something.This will take awhile,but I think, if I do my job right and honor everyone involved, it might be pretty special. No publisher yet, stay tuned. #highschoolmusical #graphicnovel #fatherandson #puppets
“You’re a U.S. senator!”
Bernie stops Noem’s replacement from literally trying to fight someone👇🏽
This should go great
Wars can only be declared by Congress.
Taxes can only be levied by Congress.
Spending can only be appropriated by Congress.
Laws can only be passed by Congress.
Any President who refuses to work with Congress is an enemy of the Constitution and the rule of law.
Well, that sucks. I really liked @hbomax.bsky.social . I guess it’s back to the age of physical media buying before the Ellisons fuck up every option on earth.
I’ll always have a soft spot for the name “Wondercon”, but it’ll always be the Oakland version that means something. It’s where I’d cut school to attend, and it’s where I made all of my first real comics friendships on a pro level.
It was at this show where I looked up from my table and Will Eisner was watching me draw. And I had three offers from various publishers to publish Soulwind. It came out the following year from @imagecomics.com . OAKLAND’s Wondercon is where I got my start. @comicconoakland.com will fill this space.
Morning.
Screenshot of an X post from Headquarters quoting figure skater Alysa Liu speaking about noticing faults in the U.S. government and supporting immigrant rights. The embedded image shows Liu smiling during an interview, wearing a Team USA jacket with a U.S. flag patch, seated against a backdrop with stars and red, white, and blue colors.
What a remarkable young woman.
Trump should use tonight's State of the Union address to return the $1,751 he taxed every single American family over the last year with his illegal tariffs.

Representative Al Green of Texas brought a sign that says “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES!” to President Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday— a reference to the racist video Trump posted about the Obamas. Green was later walked out of the chamber. Follow updates: nyti.ms/3MwkaTM
Donald Trump is using the biggest audience he'll get this year to throw a tantrum about the Supreme Court not letting him tax Americans with his tariffs.
We've got a spoiled child for a president.
