Hello, followers new & old. I'm Norm, and I tell adventure stories about talking animals, scary monsters, and sometimes even talking animals meeting scary monsters. I'm usually pretty social media averse, but I like the vibe developing around here. Maybe I'll try a little harder.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

It's a real shame the trial turned out this way because if a sandwich was legally something you could use in an assault, then Republicans might have worked to get more them inside schools.

This is heartening to see, but remember that as long as the Hamburglar has to live as a fugitive we still haven't made enough progress in our sandwich related justice system. #rubblerubble

I got my wife a Tiny Chef plush and she’s currently holding it up against garlic cloves and matchsticks in the kitchen to try and figure out if it’s been made to scale.

I'm excited about the upcoming Muppet Show special and the Miss Piggy movie news, but my hot Muppet take is that the Muppets are more like recurring SNL characters. You shouldn't be trying to recast Miss Piggy anymore than you should be trying to recast the Church Lady.

The transphobic messaging completely failed to help Republicans tonight. The anti-trans propaganda was a losing strategy which the GOP pushed all their chips in on, and it failed miserably. They lost every major race tonight.

We got the chance to spotlight our lettering creative partner, @gofrankgo.bsky.social, a bit. When great lettering functions perfectly, it flows with story and doesn't call attention to itself. Frank did that especially well in one intense scene, he's magic.
INTERVIEW: Inside ©alifornia, Inc.: Creators Arthur N. Ebuen and Dave Law on Building a Corporate Dystopia!
We caught up with the team behind ©alifornia, Inc. to discuss how the world-building and character development came together, and what readers can expect from the trade paperback.

Very, very few comic book creators can survive on just the money they make from comics. It is an inherently unstable job and it is only getting worse as time goes on. Don't ever be embarrassed or ashamed of needing another job so that you can keep making comics.
