All praise to the Costco returns specialist who took pains to inform me as discretely as possible that the jacket I was attempting to return came from Target.

I spent the day building various block towers for my toddler grandbaby to destroy, by far the most successful work of my artistic career.

I took circle-back-day off.

A nice forever memory I built with my son while in Brazil was the day we didn't manage to get dinner until 11 PM and wound up ordering so much food the room service staff brought up six place settings.

I've heard it a dozen times, but the "just a man and a horse being hung out there" line will destroy me every time I watch Blazing Saddles.

I just scored a sweet Nexus sketch and some books. Join us, won't you?

I can't explain it, but this ad for Britbox looks like a parody of an ad for Britbox.

My Mom gave me her scrapbook of my "accomplishments" this Christmas. Judging by the pic, I broke into comics when I was 12?

Thieves never came out, BTW.

Dreamed I got fired from my gig as an extra in a John Sayles movie about Depression era baseball because he insisted actors have hats many sizes too big or small to reflect wealth disparity and I couldn't stop laughing at a tiny hat guy.

A good 70%of the pleasure I derive from Stranger Things lies in looking back at a world before Trump was a thing.

You gotta draw Wolverine like he's a villain.

At our last Christmas of the season we played an Iowa trivia game in which "What is Iowa's only island city?" was asked, but I couldn't answer it because it wasn't my turn. I just so happen to be writing a comic set in an analog for Sabula-- A Quiet Place: Storm Warning from IDW. Christmas irony!

@joshcrawley.bsky.social won Christmas with this stunning (trust me I was stunned) @philhester.bsky.social original 🖤

It was so nice out that I grilled some Kalbi to go with our roasted chicken (Ina Garten recipe) and Hasselback potatoes. Good thing, since we had some extra drop-ins. Grandbaby staying over. A beautiful Christmas.

What a delightful family! Erick edited the Brazilian edition of the Blue & Gold mini in which I had a fill in. He's a huge Booster Gold fan, so...
Y'all know I had the pleasure to work at #CCXP with @philhester.bsky.social. What you don't know is that before leaving, he gifted me the exact page Erick loved to give him for Christmas! Plot twist: that page is from a comic Erick actually worked on! Yeah. I won Christmas.
Thank you, Phil!

I will never forgive the proliferation of murderous Santa imagery that took place when I was a kid in the 70's. Looking mostly at you Warren Publishing, you nihilist pricks.
