ValhalLaw-A 5-issue color comic epic, ready to print!
ValhalLaw is a 5 issue color queer, fantasy-fueled dark comedy of epic proportions, brimming with action, romance, naughty bits NSFW and the occasional legalese.
www.backerkit.com
My new comic series just launched!
I’m really proud of the story we told and it would mean the world if you chose to support it.
An attorney with a gift for making unbreakable contracts is hired by Norse gods to prevent (another) Ragnarok. It’s funny! Epic! Gay!

Kanye’s latest “sorry my brain made me MAGA” apology ad (coincidentally in advance of a new album) is just sampled lyrics from REM’s Diminished:
“Maybe I’m crazy? Maybe diminished?
Self-defense? Chemical dependence?
How do I play this?
Is the jury wavering?
Do they know I sing?”

Broadly speaking, this is most of my personality.
Also, watch more bad movies. Watch terrible movies. When times are tough, movies that suck are genuinely better than movies that are good. I will not elaborate
“Bad” art is important. We NEED bad art. I make it all the time. We do not need slop, no one is learning anything from slop

I’ve heard great things about the ping pong movie, but the most impressive acting that Timothee Chalamet ever put on screen is in Bones and All where he had to pretend that KISS is good.

Hey #BlairWitch fans — 29 years ago I created the “Stickman” for the original movie and now’s your chance to have a one-of-a-kind #stickman of your own. All you need to do is donate $200 to the @kickstarter campaign for “The Ultimate Breakup” (a zombie short film I’m set to direct)!

Apparently The Pitt (in addition to running a genAI storyline that the writer says will not discuss negative impacts of the tech) is running a “both sides have valid points” ICE storyline.
Can’t think of a faster way to *permanently* drop my interest to zero.

THIS. I do not want to see the Sad ICE Man movie in two years. No.
don't write songs about it or make tv shows about how bad they feel about their actions or or movies or comics or music videos about it. they are fools. they are an embarrassment to humankind. they are the mcdonalds happy toy version of nazis. our job is to make sure they know it

You know how, at some grocery stores, you get a little sample of food — like, just a tiny taste on a toothpick that makes you think “woah, I’d sure like a lot more of whatever this is!”?

They were the only thing that made going to Catholic Church bearable: the promise that after, we’d get to eat at the Pancake Barn and I could read the Sunday comic strips and baseball box scores.
Us Gen X too. I would constantly check out comic strip collections from the library and read them over and over again until they were imprinted on my brain.
why did so many millennials read so many newspaper comics? easily 60 percent of my reading diet in elementary/middle school was collected editions of calvin and hobbes, farside, dilbert, peanuts, doonesbury (!), foxtrot (?!?) and i know im not alone. historically unique phenomenon

My favorite boomer rock trend is the singer making up his own nicknames like “people call me the gangster of love” or “the seeker” or the “working man” or whatever.
No they don’t. Nobody calls you that shit you fucking dork. Shut up.

Frustrating that we’re all compelled to preface any good news with “I know there’s limitless awful stuff happening in the world but…”
Anyhow, I know the world sucks in a lot of ways right now, but this is fucking rad:

It’s a tall order, but if you can find a buddy who’s as willing to play a crunchy euro worker placement game as they are to move a janky Spider-Man around a board (even if they think the villain’s name is The Reptile), I highly recommend it.
