They all sound like they’re written by the same person.

My daily comics visits include @dcorsetto.bsky.social @jenniebreeden.thedevilspanties.com @erikamoen.bsky.social @itchyfeetcomic.bsky.social as well as the usual Calvin & Hobbes and the For Better or For Worse rerun. Keep meaning to see what Aeire of Queen of Wands has been up to.

I've only been to three WorldCons and not since 2006 (August is a bad month for taking off at work), but I have had my share of entertaining interactions. I don't think I've ever met a SFF writer or an industry bigwig who wasn't willing to schmooze for a minute.

Preferably with less dancing. Did not enjoy that part. The rest was a hell of a timesucker though.

Michael Whelan covers were responsible for a LOT of my teenage book choices at the used bookstore.

They also remind me a little bit of Pazuzu, the Mesopotamian demon from The Exorcist.

I was a free-roaming latchkey kid in the 80s that wanted to watch Thundercats and Fraggle Rock. Alpha Centauri came along in 1999 when I could stay up all night playing it and nobody could tell me not to!

Nick Cave, without hesitation.

Cool Ranch always reminds me of going to the beach at Dam Neck in Virginia Beach in the late 80s/90s, because that's what we packed in the cooler, and whenever I eat them now, I instinctively expect a hint of sand and Coppertone in the flavor crust.

We're going to offer TSA services soon and the background check I had to complete was very similar.

Thanks for the heads up - I've got a paper copy from 1993 that's been read to pieces like the Velveteen Rabbit, and a digital copy is just the thing to keep it from falling apart any further.

Thank you for telling us about this, you are doing the Spaghetti Monster's work.
