It’s not a good film, but as not good films go, it’s one of the best.

Billionaires are not our friends.

Jan 2026 • I Lived Here • Portland, OR 1994 - 1999 • by Sierra Tierra • Issue #1

1994 rent: I paid $200/month and had 2 roommates. The apartment had water stains but plenty of light, and I had no furniture except a used dresser and a mattress on the floor. Megan moved into the attic after returning to Portland from her travels. One day she took us to Joanne's Fabrics in far NE Portland so we could make curtains. I grew up in a normal, furnished house in a city yet it did not occur to me to furnish this place. Putting a single piece of material on a dowel and hanging it on the window - people came over to see such a wonder of modern living! My first car was a 1971 Volvo. I bought that for $450 dollars. So old it had a manual choke like a lawnmower. That lasted 2 months until it broke down on the highway coming home from work one day. Megan's friend Jeff, whom she met while driving cross-country, (the 2nd time after a summer playing professional Irish gigs back east) came to live with us and that was the most fun I'd ever had in my life. When I think back to when my mind was empty of anything • I felt the utmost friendship other than pleasure lide it was November, 1995.

Perfect container concept for a zine. Annoyed both that I didn't think of and execute on it first, and annoyed my obvious choice is already taken.

Go towards the light.

I never care for it when they crowd around my bed like that.

Didn‘t know you‘d done this. Will definitely listen.

Not now Dalek invasion.

Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller. First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk. Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it. Logger: Sure. Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place. Nancy: I'm mad at him.

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

They’re just using you. Real friends bring you nuts and worms.

I’ll be attending this event.

Just learned that Tatjana Wood died recently at age 99. Her colors on things like Morrison/Truog's Animal Man, Simonson's Orion, the O'Neill/Cowan Question, and the Moore/Bissette/Everyone Else Swamp Thing left its marks on me when I was young and impressionable. A major, unsung comics legend.

Not my colour.

I’ll vote for that.

Sadists enjoy sadism, and they don’t like it when it’s pointed out that this behaviour is abnormal.

Always.

excellent.

When I was in my late teens I suffered so badly from social anxiety that I was hospitalised. Here’s a page from the autobio book I’m working on about this.

Recent panels.

Super-mansplaining.

Look everyone. It’s George Bernard Shaw’s shed, which could be rotated allowing it to be easily turned to follow the sun.
