Yesterday I had some time to kill between things in Culver City and I went to this amazing old toy store. They had so much it was overwhelming.

And look at that slot car track.

I wanted the Iron Man cut out.

Man this little tv / vcr combo is a gift. I’m outlining in the kitchen so I thought this would help.

Home from surgery. Pretty wrecked. Kidney updates next week. More surgery 12/5. He’s hanging in there.

Splash page of Patsy Walker, a.k.a. Hellcat and the toll of her hero work. One of my favorite pages in the entire book by @alexlins.bsky.social.

Evolution of a teenage sweetheart.

Still proud of that book. We tried to do the definitive Patsy story, capturing every aspect of her complicated soul.

We set up a small TV / VCR combo behind the couch to ambiently play old tapes and we started off with the right one.

One last pitch for this. It’s today! Party starts in half an hour! Comics, art, pinball, food, toys, friends, community!

I’ll be signing from 1-2pm, but I’ll be lurking around long than that. I’ve got stuff you can snag but bring whatever you want. I’ll sign your dad.

Folks always have cool banners and signs at cons, so for tomorrow’s Revenge Of Block Party, I took an 8-yr-old poster from my garage & nailed it to a piece of plywood then put some old pins on it.

The lowercase letters were @eccantwell.bsky.social’s idea and I think it really puts it over the top.

And in the front our toddler left some cars by the Buddha, so it looks like the bodhisattvas of wisdom and compassion drove up and parked before joining their buddy Sid

Back yard projects.

Plus I discovered my kids’ Marvel Legends figures like they were hanging out behind the gym getting high

Don’t forget—COMIC BOOK CREATOR BLOCK PARTY this Saturday at Revenge Of in LA.

It’s ALL DAY, food, fun—and I’ll be there during this signing block with a boatload of other cool folks.

Having a 16 year old dog means 3100 dollars in sudden medical procedures which is actually WAY BETTER NEWS than discovering his kidney disease has advanced so far he can’t undergo the surgery, the scenario where the doctor started saying phrases like “end of life options” and I cried in the office

And as always, I dedicate each issue to a fallen Red Shirt. #4 goes out to Yeoman Leslie Thompson, who was turned into a mineral cube by Rojan and crushed.

RED SHIRTS #4 drops (dead) today.

A triangle of death with Romulans & Klingons, no way out.

SHOCKER FINISH next month!

This is how I felt watching All the President’s Men this past weekend.

In the final scene, I realized the reporters are now gone, the newspaper has been hollowed out and sold to a billionaire for parts, and the same is true for the television broadcast.

Also it’s important to note that @eccantwell.bsky.social went as Snake Plissken.
