Laying on the couch watching the World Series and the kids (Karkitty and Streaky) are irritated that I'm not in bed yet.

I briefly met Marko 72 (DeSantis) and Tim Pagnotta in 2001 after their set at The Catalyst in Santa Cruz.

Marko was charming, friendly and funny.

Tim... let's say he wasn't Marko.

Still, I bought the CD-R they sold and got their autographs.

Start Static is still a banger. Very underappreciated.

Go Fever!

I became a fan of the Indiana Fever last year because of Caitlin Clark.

I remained a fan this year because I found them to be a spunky team that is capable of beating anyone on any given day, even through their injuries.

Today they have a chance to make it to the finals.

I am rooting for them.

"In a bold move to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album, LOCAL H are proud to release reFISTED, a complete re-recording of their 1995 classic, Ham Fisted.

This isn't just a re-issue; it's a defiant do-over."

I ordered my copy! Amazing band!

I love this cover so much that I created a hi-res print from the original art when it sold at Heritage and it hangs above a doorway at my house.

Gambit would have moved up if he had kept that blue, leather cod piece!

And that zebra stripes pink bodysuit...

I didn't buy a lot of DC's war comics growing up but I sure as hell bought the issue where the Unknown Soldier killed Adolph Hitler dead in his bunker by shooting a bullet through the fucker's head.

Fuck Hitler. Fuck Nazis. Fuck fascism.

When did the world first see that GS X-Men cover?

I'll say in 1974 when it was called Giant Size Defenders.

In 1982 it was called Weird War Tales #118.

Not the first comic I ever owned with Superman, but the first I remember I bought in which he was the headliner.

Action Comics #458 (Apr 1976) which debuted the villain Blackrock and had a Green Arrow/Black Canary backup drawn by Mike Grell.

I was six years old and in the first grade.

I'll settle for Travis Morgan.

I went to the NO KINGS protest in Santa Cruz.

For those friends & family members who didn't go, no worries, there were thousands of us there on your behalf fighting for a better future for you and everyone you love.

NO to Kings. NO to fascism. And YES to an America we can once again be proud of. ✊🏼

Thanks to the legendary Ramon Fradon, I have my sign for tomorrow's "No Kings Day".

It is much nicer than my original "The line starts HERE to spit on Trump's grave" idea.

We know this.

Too bad half the country refuses to believe it.

I hope the Pope says something. 🙏🏼

My comic Holy Grails are modest.

Got a decent Adventure Comics #300 (Legion begins) years ago. Also found unslabbed mint copies of Saga of the Swamp Thing #20 & 21 (1st Alan Moore).

Then there's this one.

Warrior #1 has the first appearance of V For Vendetta & Marvelman (Miracleman).

What sorcerer or witch or demon placed a dirty, aging spell on these poor children?

You guessed it.
