The Adventures of Joe Bonomo, The World's Strong Man, a four-panel advertisement in comic strip form in which the husky Joe Bonomo teaches kids how to get fucking huge.

Bonomo reflects on his troubled boyhood, inspiring meeting with a Coney Island strongman, and subsequent success as a big athletic type.

And here's the catch -- all of Joe's bodybuilding secrets for only a buck ninety-five

Here's an interesting two-page 1943 advertisement for famous strongman/stuntman Joe Bonomo's "Bonomo Boys' Health Club," looks to be drawn by Pete Costanza of Captain Marvel/Captain Tootsie fame (but might be Beck, I leave it to the Fawcett heads to figure out).

Lanterns trailer looks like Eddington.

That canary's got one dark sense of humor.

Chotiner: Trump said Gaza could be the “Riviera of the Middle East.” Landsman: Well, I don’t share his vision in that regard. I believe that Gaza should be led by Gazans, and they should rebuild based on what they want without corruption and terrorism. The same with Yemen, the same with Syria, the same with Iraq. All of a sudden, you can imagine a Middle East where you land in Dubai, and you make your way to Beirut, down to Tel Aviv, to Gaza City, to Cairo. Chotiner: It’s like the domino theory, but in reverse. Landsman: Yeah, yeah. Exactly.

I mean, this is lacerating and I don't expect Landsman even felt the blow connect:

Same way The Daily Show did, the subjects always think they can charm and sloganeer their way through while never realizing that the power utimately lies in the edit.

I think you'll find that illness isn't generally known for keeping people alive in the first place.

Brilliant, just what I need!

So is there *meant* to be a Village People faction or am I the weird one for putting Rodeo Bo, Windwalker and Hardhat Bud Duncan on the same team and calling them "The Bachelor Party"?

Followup question: Any soldiers, traffic cops or leather daddies in the lineup? I gotta fill those slots.

I've been playing the game Rusty most recently provided art for, Eras of Wrestling, and am having a blast with it. Getting the opportunity to flip through dozens of Rusty's illustrations and just drink 'em in whenever I feel like it is half of the fun, he did an amazing job.

I was thinking Mean Leland was a Twin Peaks reference, on accounta thinking the flair on his logo was a pine tree...

Just One More Thing: Lovely But Lethal Notes and screenshots for  Lovely But Lethal:  Originally broadcast on Sep 23, 1973, starring Vera Miles as beauty industry titan Viveca Sco...

This week's retro episode of Just One More Thing is Lovely But Lethal, starring Vera Miles, Martin Sheen, Vincent Price and a host of great character actors, involving a cosmetics-industry killing. We learned a LOT about lesbian-coded characters in TV and film with this one!

Cleese performing the Upper Class Twit Of The Year Award sketch: "Can't wait to be one of these."

PANEL 1: NARRATOR: "Cultivating the measured NPR cadence and placid deference to the military that characterizes the ideal neoliberal subject, Clark Kent returns to the editorial meeting..." A group of DAILY PLANET reporters are in a meeting, Clark Kent is responding to a question from his boss. CLARK: "Well, chief, the bombing campaign--" PANEL 2: Clark is talking and the other reporters and co-workers look unhappy. CLARK: "Obviously war in the region is not-ah-"ideal," but regime change could ultimately provide socioeconomic benefits that far outweigh the regrettable civilian casualties..." CLARK (thinking): "As Superman, last son of Krypton, these words of course sicken me; however, it's Clark Kent's job to manufacture consent!" PANEL 3: (inset in a larger panel) One reporter is whispering to another. REPORTER: "Kent is such an off-putting sociopath" REPORTER 2: "I hope he kills himself". An arrow points to this inset panel that reads "Thanks to super-hearing" from Clark's ear. Clark is smiling and thinking to himself. CLARK (thinking): "Looks like my secret identity as Clark Kent is safe...FOR NOW!"

the mild manners are job security, baby

Not sure, I stumbled across it in an image search. Might be Avengers Assemble? Whoever did it, I'm impressed how they made his features and mask more frog-like, since I think that's what Stan Lee was thinking when he named him.

Kipling, after the death of his son, speaking in the voice of the Kaiser, his doctor, & an observer

An animated closeup of Batroc the Leaper, the leaping French supervillain whose name is a play on "Bratachian," and who in this image has a frog-like features and mask design, and I'm frankly really impressed.

Hey @tnperkins4.bsky.social, is this Batroc one of yours?

My diplomatic policy is based entirely on the firm belief that to the left of the United States is a dragon, and on the right, is a cloud with a man’s face that is blowing cold winds. Beyond that? Anyone’s guess. Nobody knows.

His team was caught so flat-footed by the revelation of his tattoo that I have to wonder if he either didn't tell them in advance, or he did and they decided it wasn't worth preparing for. And either of those scenarios should be disqualifying, just shitty organization, lack of foresight, a nogoodnik

When I pre-ordered this back in October (?), I wasn't sure Fantagraphics would survive til February, or that there'd even be a USPS by then. Let this be known as the Brick of Hope.

"Oh, I'd love to read L&R but I don't know where to start" well buddy look at this.

Fantagraphics' new collection of Jaime Hernandez's Love and Rockets stories featuring Hopey and Maggie.

Brick I ordered has arrived.

Just got back from a hike at the nearby watershed and saw a little black bear guy a ways away and that mfer sat down and waved his little paw at me, 10/10 experience.

It's Lord John Actons, all the way down.

Finally downloaded it, it's great. I'm afraid I've fallen in love with Stomp Kaiju 💘
