What do you think the odds are of the Avatar movies ending with the monkey boy and Sigourney Weaver's navi making a dumb little hybrid monkeycat baby? And it'll still make a $billion

Nah, no point in muck raking at this stage of the game. But they have a rep for this kind of behavior, apparently.

He literally turned sideways and started talking to someone one table over, as if I didn't exist. 30 years later, I still dislike the guy. That's why I will never be anything but nice to anyone who comes by my table space at a convention. It costs nothing to be nice.

Once, long ago, I was at one of my first comicons and I spotted someone who was a comicbook creator I idolized. I walked up to his table, portfolio in hand, and introduced myself as someone who wanted to draw comics in the future and a big fan of **redacted 80's comic**.

My latest internet rabbit hole is ferrier videos. Watching hoof trimming and putting on new horseshoes is oddly fascinating.

I painted a cover for Garth Ennis and @jacen-art.bsky.social’s BABS, brought to you by the lovely people at @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social!

It was a JOY! The issue is on the stands on May 20th.

Just finished Babs #2 - an easy 5⭐️ by @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social. Garth Ennis absolutely killing the tropes (love it), dialogue is wickedly funny, and @jacen-art.bsky.social art is a perfect fit. Even w/ the humor, this world still feels brutal as hell. Completely hooked.

Weed used to have seeds in it. All of the weed did, and they popped when they got hot. Joint rotation was like hot potato.

This is what NicolΓ‘s Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. πŸ—½

The one that comes to mind for me is the Nigerian player in Ted Lasso, Sam. Tbf, its really Nigerian tinted British I suppose.

I enjoy the sound of a lot of different accents, but I think Nigerian may be my favorite.

Great start β€” it shows you exactly what it’s gonna be from the drop: fun, lewd, and bad-ass. Off to a strong start. Looking forward to continuing this run.

I wonder what would've happened if Frank Durabont had been able to stay on The Walking Dead as show runner for the entirety of the original series.
