Very sad to hear that Catherine O'Hara has died. My favorite O'Hara works were the first I saw her in (SCTV) and the last (SCHITT'S CREEK). I also loved her in anything, everything inbetween. R.I.P.

Decided to give today's background entertainment a theme! They aren't very similar (except in name), although there is a breakdown of civilization vibe in both. Which I relate to right now.

Film: enjoyable, although Australian Anthony Perkins is jarring. Album: Side 1: OK. Side 2: Brilliant.

I was very sad to hear that Sal Buscema died over the weekend. Today would have been his 90th birthday. My first exposure to Sal was buying AVENGERS #69 at my local drugstore. After that, I was always happy to see his name show up in a book. R.I.P.

A while back, someone hired me to complete the inks on this original, unfinished Marshall Rogers splash. My recollection is that it was on his drawing board when he died. Hopefully, I did it justice. #FlashbackFriday

Insanely detailed artwork by Jack Davis from MAD #26. I first saw this as a kid in a paperback reprint. I think I literally gasped. #FlashbackFriday

Recommended reading: BATMAN/GREEN ARROW/THE QUESTION: ARCADIA, written and illustrated by @gabrielhardman.bsky.social. I went with the Kevin Nowlan variant cover for #1 and the @philhester.bsky.social variant for #2 because I hear that Phil's a young maverick with a lot of promise.
