Minneapolis. Comics. Cats. Action Figures. Weird bad movies. Weird good movies. Wrestling maybe? I dunno.
Custom Marvel Legends Howard the Duck. Same recipe most people used, Fortnite legs modded to the Legends figure. I did shorten them, maintain the proportions, and now I have both the Quinones and Colan/Brunner versions for my shelf. Waugh!

Never had a toy, didn’t have an official name until recently, but the Cobra Aspid, designed by Michael Golden and first appearing in Yearbook #2 is one of the most enduring comic original designs. Love this thing, maybe it’ll get a toy someday.

Dani took (most of) the day off, so after we cleaned the yard up some, we went to the free zoo. 60+ degrees and sunny in mid November meant lots of lazy cats. We have a nice dinner coming up here too (thanks @pjlind.bsky.social ! )
Things are still weird, but nice to take a day together.

Don't cross the picket line, people!
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

For a comic image to recreate, I went for the biggy, the issue best known outside of the Joe world, issue 21, Silent Interlude. Written *and* drawn by the architect of G.I. Joe, Larry Hama.

Bazooka and Tripwire don’t have much in common. That said, and despite Tripwire mostly growing up in Japan, they’re both Hibbing MN boys, and as such, have fishing *opinions*. Bazooka uses Tripwire’s detector to demonstrate his casting technique.

I greet you with the news that I'll be attending CODENAME IOWA, a GI Joe convention in Des Moines this weekend. Not a Comicon per se, but it has comic makers like me, Larry Hama, and Ron Wagner as guests. Admission is free as heck!

For Neil Young's birthday, I'll once again share one of my favorite covers, Boney M's version of Heart of Gold. If you're unfamiliar , just imagine ABBA doing a take on it and you'll be close. Heartbreaking like the original, but in a different direction because it's *so* polished and produced.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

1st in person down. Dunno if it’ll go anywhere, but sounds like I should know more reasonably soon.
Initial call on another thing tomorrow.
Still hoping to hear back on some other opportunities too.
Interesting times.

Hasbro has yet to do any of the Joe pilots or other characters from the Air Force in Classified so War Machine gets to represent that branch for now.

In the back room of a Sportsman’s Club a Fred series Crimson Guard and a Trooper talk with likely recruits, former and current military and law enforcement and those “concerned with the direction of their country”.

Once again, I am thinking about the Morris Day-narrated documentary about '80s WWF wrestler Koko B. Ware that sits in Prince's vault, unreleased and taunting us all.
99 items found in Prince's secret vault
A fascinating array of previously unknown recordings and projects have been discovered.

I snagged a 1:12 COBRA Commander v4 head on ebay by IBMMT but couldn't figure out a body until I saw a custom by @hypnohustler.bsky.social using the first Classified CC figure so I gave my own stab at it!

Called 202-224-3244 and left a message since I don't trust @klobuchar.senate.gov not to cave on this. Please call your senator as well. If they don't hold the line now, then this will have all been for *NOTHING*.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.
