This thing could go two ways. Won't be another exit for days. So pack a small suitcase. Anything else can be easily replaced.

42 years ago today, my week was ruined by watching The Day After.

I know this is intended as a joke, but I'd say this was one of the Beatles' prime contributions to pop music! I LOVED how they did this throughout their collective and solo careers. It's one of the things that makes "A Day in the Life" so goddamn magical.

There hasn't been a single day during the past two weeks that I haven't thought a lot about this character.

I got my copy of Craig Yoe's Captain LOL and Rubber Chicken, and it's genuinely great. So far, my favorite part is the free hole, which features much more creative joy than you might expect!

I nearly missed this. Happy birthday to one of the greatest minds to ever emerge from the species.

@garymongiovi.bsky.social I had never seen this Matania until today. An illustration from a Carson Napier novel. This made my jaw drop.

Thinking today (as I frequently do) about Willy Pogany, the artist whose illustrations for Padraic Colum's mythology books in the 1920s ignited my imagination so fiercely in the late 1960s. I spent hours and hours trying to draw like Pogany.

This painting blew my mind tonight. Dean Cornwell, 1918.
A painting of two men and two women seated centrally at a small, square table. They are dressed in clothes signifying the upper class. Behind them is a magnificent, gilt tapestry with a bird depicted. In the foreground, there is a green statue of a dragon and signs of Chinese architecture.

Not sure that I can fully explain this, but at a very low moment in my life, Peacemaker has felt weirdly like therapy.
