Poor Noem. All the animal sacrifices for nothing.

If there is no sequel to THE BONE TEMPLE, I’m fully satisfied. If there is a sequel to THE BONE TEMPLE, I’m there like I had to have more.

What happened to that CAT IN THE HAT movie I was seeing trailers for all the time last Summer?

Been a long time since I've done it, but I have a part-time retail job now. πŸ™

Should be just enough of a life-preserver right now to let me keep pursuing acting as my primary career goal.

Whoa, now, I do kinda like the idea of buckling down in a movie theater for a triple-feature of vampires, Frankensteins, and werewolves.

I'm just gonna assume that part of the LORNE trailer is people doing their Lorne impressions, without watching to confirm.

I don't know what happened to all of mine! I had a ton and also lots of *intent* to play without every actually playing it.

The Bride

The Bride

*Handsomely staged* is the best you can say. Sting & Beals create an off-putting anti-chemistry, so the movie keeps returning to David Rappaport and Clancy Brown (the monster) doing small-time carny shit. I always forget I don’t like it, so I revisit it every 10+ years to relearn that.

I could never. My actual *employment* is way more of a priority to me than the Likes.

You know...As square as I can seem IRL, I tried to think of a bunch of different things but I bet everyone could picture them happening. Which...y'know...makes me feel good? That any random tale could be greeted with "yeah, I can see that?" It's a nice feeling.

I came across Katzen the Tiger Lady stranded in a parking lot and gave them a ride home.

Sometimes, I wish I could share some of my auditions. It can cost you future work, but I see a lot of actors do it anyway (I do not have the brass stones to even dare tempt fate that way).

There *is* a weird thing going with Dept of War in so much as it seems the people are considered weapons and not actual humans and that's probably going to backfire spectacularly.

...is there a weird thing going on where the path to education for military is being choked out? Or is it just education in general, and service members will also suffer?

Like, I'm *just now* at 50, starting to feel like I know myself, as a cartoonist. I'm comfortable with my work; I can see myself in it - what *I* specifically bring to the table is starting to show. I hate that it didn't happen in my 30s.

I've grown so much as a cartoonist because of the iPad (the replication of inks & other materials I'd otherwise not be good at because of the way I hold my utensil, the ability to underdraw & erase without losing paper fidelity). If I'd had one at a younger age, I know I'd be so much further along.

I have! And Bedrock City out in Arizona. I’m dying to visit Yogi Bear’s Honey Fried Chicken in NC. I need to get out and see all the Popeye statues…

I have a thing for real-world locations that honor cartoon characters, and I don’t really know why.

TIL: Chester, Illinois has a "Popeye Trail" of 19 statues (28 characters) situated throughout the city in honor of hometown hero Elzie Segar. Beyond the main cast they have Castor/The Whiffle Hen, The Sea Hag/Bernard, Alice the Goon & Child, King Blozo, Toar & more. I have a nerdly urge to visit.

It’s not the picks themselves that make me angry - it’s that they thought it was a good way to sell movies and a manager didn’t say β€œplease take this down.”

Just realized it's been over a year since I showed off this commission I got from @rpace.bsky.social. He was raising money for a charity. I will never stop showing this off.
