The time I was asked to do a Jack Kirby portrait for a friend's poetry book (I think it's out of print).
It was fun assembling the jacket from Kirby pages!

On top it says "ELABORATE ON THAT." Below this is art of David closeup. Cigarette in right hand with smoke rising. Word balloon next to David says NO.

I wrote on @boingboing.bsky.social about editorial cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social resigning her position at The Washington Post because her editor killed her comic criticizing Bezos and Trump.

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.
The final Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. The entire page is mostly white as they're in the winter snow. The pair is walking with a sledge, nicely duffled in in scarves, hats, gloves. Calvin delightedly exclaims 'wow, it really snowed las night! Isn't it wonderful?'. Hobbes follows up with 'Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand-new!' -- A new year... a fresh, clean start!' adds Calvin. As they look over the landscape, Hobbes observes 'it's like having a big white sheet of paper to draw on!' -- 'A day full of possibilities!' Calvin affirms. They get ready on their sledge and Calvin tells his friend 'it's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... let's go exploring!', and the pair sledges off into the wintery landscape.

We really need to teach our kids how to spot intellectual garbage. This is a hug hole in our educational system.

Another big takeaway from my experience at #NCTE24 this past week was this poem by Maggie Smith shared by @samiraahmed.bsky.social at her Build Your Stack session:

Anyway, good morning from this evergreen quote from a guy we teach the kids is a great American hero
Frederick Douglass quote from 1857: Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power conceded nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.
