Haha I just snuck over the Other Place and that’s great about the museum! @totter87.bsky.social is actually a friend that I met through the project; he was a frequent contributor to #WelcomeToSlumberland, himself!
Great to hear about the museum, Chris!! Hope there’s a virtual component!
Thanks so much, @beamjockey.bsky.social! I really loved this project and I’m glad to see it resonated with others!!
Dante and I finally beat the “Darker Side of the Moon” challenge in Super Mario Odyssey! Let’s go!!
He was so happy :)
Ya, that seems consistent across their publishing; the Editorial, Volume 1 is much the same. Thanks!
Can you tell me more about the Checker McCay Early Works? What’s included? His work at the Enquirer? Early editorials? LSS?
I have the editorial cartoons, vol 1 but it’s very incomplete and Checker went under before publishing the rest of those volumes… I’m always looking for more editorials!
All 15 issues of The Nib magazine are available to download for free. 1,600 pages of comics.
I’ve been so incredibly lucky to have served as President of the Grad Student Caucus of the Comics Studies Society; a community that I love so much. CSS has been a very special place for me and now that my time in leadership is over, I have some parting words:

Friends from Xavier’s Institute for Gifted Youngsters, I have a question! Has anyone been listening to the X-Men Audio Drama? Is it worth the time commitment? There’s 3 seasons, already…
Oh, PLEASE… 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Oh, Canada! Ya, I don’t often watch that one haha I’ll take a look! Thanks bud!
I know they do the annual comics competition, but I don’t remember an entire comics-based season? Which one?
First observations of the house aesthetic: I’m seeing a lot of Ben-Day dots and onomatopoeia on the walls…
I’m interested to see what Big Brother does with the “BB Comicsverse” this year… they seem to be committing to it as a core part of their multiverse approach.
It’ll be fascinating to see how a popular audience, fed a steady diet of the MCU, understands comics and comics culture.
My son just told me Spider-Man was cooler than Batman… Clearly, I’m failing as a father 😔
Has anyone else recently seen an uptick in the number of farrier videos online? No joke, I’m starting to become obsessed with horse and cow manicure videos because they’re everywhere…
Also, damn it, Flip! Bosco’s tail is NOT the correct place to put out your silly dream cigar! 😡
Im proud to be jointing the “old man yelling at clouds” movement here on Bluesky 😂
WE LOVE YOU, BOSCO! 💚
“Smashing idea, Jeffries!”
Congratulations to all GMIC 2023 Award winners!

given today's Hellfire Gala discourse, let me just note that I maintain a reading order for the past 4 years' worth of X-Men comics, marked up so you can read/skip what you like while avoiding spoilers https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OpoRLdoCupl-8s2G88hI0u5sq1Cmt-libZSPm-COaX0/edit?usp=sharing
High praise, @ign.bsky.social! “So dumb, as only clever people could achieve” is an impressive artistic achievement for a video game property that centres on creepy people blowing up cars… 🔀🤘🏻
Check out this great feature about the brilliant Qiana Whitted and her new edited collection, “Desegregating Comics”!
Congratulations, Qiana! A really great write-up! I can’t wait to read the collection!
From this day, until forever more, I will refer to the start of the universe as, AND ONLY AS, the Horrendous Space Kablooie (HSK).
Comics for the win!
Congratulations, Adrienne!! 🥳
You’re a winner in my eyes, Tim! The book is a monumental achievement and you’ve done so much for the community! Keep it up!
