If the federal shutdown continues, 42 million Americans will not receive new SNAP benefits after October 31st. It is anticipated full benefits will be issued as quickly as possible once federal operations resume.

Splash of the Justice Society of America from All-Star Comics #14's "Food for Starving Patriots!" with a boxed in red, starred, bullet list containing my tips to prepare, including: Check your EBT card balance regularly and continue following SNAP rules/reporting requirements. Start planning out lower‐cost meal ideas and stock up now. (ex: dry pasta, oats, beans, rice, canned items, seasonal produce).     Freeze or preserve extra portions to reduce spoilage and avoid waste. Don’t wait until the last minute to visit food pantries. Shelves can clear quickly. Pencils and Inks by Joe Gallagher Story by Gardner Fox

The Comic Arts Festival of Eugene was great! I was super happy to learn that David Walker is a Wolverine and Cyclops shipper. And Chris Roethle's Comics and Poetry Workshop was so much fun! I hope it becomes an annual thing!
Comics Poetry Exercise sheet showing a collage featuring a motif of Wonder Woman stopping bullets with her "bracelets" amongst Yellow Wallpaper with monarch butterflies intermixed as a representation of Emily Dickinson's "I'm Nobody! Who are You?" In the corner, there is also an image of Wonder Woman holding an American flag under a word balloon denoting somebody outside of the frame laughing.

I reread All-Star Superman for a local “books with pals” event and I am struck by just how much Gunn really did use it as a template in ways I wasn’t thinking about when I first heard that. This is the panel that stuck out most in my reread. Such a pertinent message for the times we are in…
Panel with Clark Kent speaking at his father’s funeral. “… Jonathan Kent taught me that the strong have to stand up for the weak and that bullies don’t like being bullied back.” “Funeral in Smallville” Script: Grant Morrison Pencils: Frank Quitely Inks: Jamie Grant Colors: Jamie Grant Letters: Phil Balsman
