I’m not a Funko collector, but I have a few, because in their seemingly unlimited licenses they covered some things you don’t see in the toy market. Joey Ramone, Joan Jett, Top Cat, Ricochet Rabbit.
But the walls of Funko Pops at every comic convention was never a good sign.

Incidentally, this May 3, 1982, “Frank and Ernest” strip is the origin of the quotation about Ginger Rogers doing everything Fred Astaire did “backwards and in high heels,” since attributed to everyone from former Texas governor Ann Richards to Rogers herself.

It’s really hard to determine what’s real and what’s parody nowadays.
The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who,” or “Transformers".

I never thought I’d find something more disappointing than gluten free bread or hotel hair dryers but “just simply existing in 2025” has really come out swinging.

Long ago when I was a young, almost-syndicated cartoonist, I had the pleasure of sitting next to June Lockhart at a dinner in SF and she told me a funny story that I used in one of my early strips. RIP

RIP to the amazing June Lockhart. No other actress had the impact on my youth that she did. From St Louis to Alpha Centauri she took my imagination on some fantastic adventures. She was 100! One hundred incredible years. #junelockhart #lostinspace #meetmeinstlouis #lassie

Billionaires are now in the business of advocating policies that will make the vast majority’s lives tangibly worse in order to make their lives unnoticeably better. Money is an abstraction to keep score for them. But it’s food, health, and shelter for everyone else.

College athletics gets dumber every day. Why even pretend it’s still college sports?
Now official: College athletes and school staff can bet on pro sports, beginning on Nov. 1.
All three Divisions have voted to approve the change, per the NCAA.

This is insane and one of the chief indicators this country is absolutely broken.
The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.
