Lost our best boy this week. Almost 16 years, we’re going to miss you very much Biscuit.

Show me the first image that burned into your brain when you first discovered the horror genre.

It took years to figure out what movie this was from ("Burnt Offerings") and to deep-dive into the imagery of this chauffer, his smile, and the mind-bending creepiness that stuck in my very young mind.

Quote this post with a picture of the airplane you’ll accept as a bribe.

I mean, I’ve been partial for about *checks calendar* TWENTY YEARS?

Recent trip to Puerto Rico was amazing and bittersweet. Been 30 years, hope to be back soon.

ME: Hey Siri, play upbeat 80’s music.

SIRI: Alright, I will play that.

Good morning!

Share a comic you feel nostalgic about! 💙

My first ever comic book. I was six. Started a life-long thing.

Well that’s a questionable headline for today…

Grant Morrison is my favorite comic book writer and there's *a lot* to choose from, but the last issue of his DOOM PATROL run holds a special place in my heart. Issue 63, "The Empire of Chairs", is a study in loss, isolation and mental health that I appreciated even more as I got older.

Waking up as a kid in the very early 1980's when it was still dark, and turning on the TV to see this image was a whole vibe that is difficult to convey to younger folks today. Stations didn't run 24 hours. 4am was a surreal space back then.
