A reintroduction, for the new people. Hello, gang. I'm Ian! I've been podcasting about comic books for about 20 years, originally for @comictiming.bsky.social, then for Comic Geek Speak for 6 years, now back at Comic Timing. I'm a lifelong New Yorker, appreciate pizza of all kinds, and the Yankees.

Is there anything more on brand than a band called Foreigner singing "You're as Cold as ICE" in the middle of a #ThanksgivingDayParade?

Seriously #ThanksgivingDayParade you couldn't even have Jewel record a modern rendition of "You Were Meant For Me?" That was legit hitting play on the CD.

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

Bill Oakley shared this sad news on Twitter, hadn’t seen it here yet: Dan McGrath has passed away.
A fantastic writer for SNL, Simpsons, Mission Hill (he wrote many fan’s favorite episode), King of the Hill, The PJs, and Gravity Falls. Any comedy nerd of the last 40 years knows so much of his work

Attempting to start something here: what comic series that was cut short deserved more time to exist? I have two off the top of my head, both of which involved dimension hopping X-Men and two of my favorite writers: Jeff Parker's volume of #Exiles and Charles Soule's #WeaponXMen.
