SPOILERS for SSoC 105... my favorite Conan comic story. Partly because I got this as a teen and partly because it's so damn good. The story is brutal and savage and intense. Conan is leader of some mercenaries whose forces have been defeated in snowy land. They are cold and starving. 1/5

Had this ancient blank notebook in a bin with this cool ass sticker on it. The notebook is toast but I will preserve this. I think I got this sticker at a mall kiosk where they sold tee shirts and ephemera.

Found this pic I took of an ancient character sheet. Don't know when or where I took this. Probably last summer. Ability scores aren't as pumped up as I expected for a character from 1987. NO idea what "Coll" is. Don't know why it says "Attributes I". It's a mystery!
Buccaneer was a homebrew class.

Started a new mini Rated R sketchbook. I like how this cover came out. Just a fast, loose, goofy doodle of a blue ninja in a tight fitting blue suit (wink nudge).

The fact that I'm posting dumb, stupid bullshit at the same time my country is breaking international and internal laws and destabilizing the world and digging us deeper into the villain role is purely coincidental, not a desperate coping mechanism.

80s was a time when movies didn't have to explain themselves. In Weird Science, two goofy bastards make a woman with magic powers using their computer and the power of a lightning storm. Who cares how it worked. It just worked. What a dumb, stupid, silly movie that I loved and watched many times.

Iwao Takimoto's Scooby Gang is such great cartooning.

2012-2020 I did a lot of OSR old school dungeon crawl D&D type stuff like these little brog nogs. They came from a short comic I did years ago. Fun times.

There was a time when Van Damme made genuinely fun, entertaining flicks. I dropped out around the time of Death Warrant, but man... Double Impact was a hell of a good time. So stupid. So good. Seeing Van Damme try to act like a tough gangster guy was hilarious and precious.

Got this here little weird dungeon adventure comic book from @seanrunamok.bsky.social several years back. Just ran across it again lost on a bookshelf. It was buried treasure! Had some sweet little original doodles in the bag with it, but I can't remember if he sent those separately or not.

I'm usually a bastion of purity, but I do love a good smutty comic now and then. If you do too, go check out Abe's Muffin Topp comics. The cleanest lines you'll see in a filthy comic. Except maybe Gilbert Hernandez.

The 90s was a time of riches for books that were essentially lists of things. I have several of them. This one has been with me since the last 90s. It has a 20 page bibliography, which is impressive. A nice resource for weird shit.
Pardon the Papyrus font. It was 1995.

Last night I had a very long, semi-lucid dream in which the rock band Scorpions visited my place of employment. I googled "thank you for coming" in German and tried to say it to them.
I spent most of the dream listing all the songs I liked from them and thanking them for them all. Klaus was nice.

One day I will make some of these awesome stand up dudes. These are so cool.
Four generic playing pieces/characters for Munchkin (or whatever). I couldn't find my light box so I used my phone light to draw the backs.

As usual, our buxom barbarian is glowing, basking in the post-slaying warmth.

Speaking of alien elves, there are many good examples in gaming of the idea. I think it's natural for a creative mind coming from D&D origins to muck around with it. Check out Misty Isles of the Eld as a prime example. The eld are quite twisted bastards.
