Danny Glover in Predator 2 giving various weather reports for Los Angeles including a new one where he says, “Damn, it’s been raining basically since we turned the clocks back which is causing me to speed run seasonal depression.”

This phrase still pops into my head sometimes like 3 decades later.
A bluesky post that I'm too lazy to cut 24 characters from that says, "I was looking up what albums came out when I was 16 so that I could participate in the meme (privately) and was reminded of listening to Liquid Swords in my friend’s basement while eating a bag of Tootsie Rolls and he kept singing along so my other friend said, “Stop rapping, I’m tired of seeing your entire Tootsie Roll.”

I can hear all my neighbors moaning appreciatively while I'm singing Caroline No with the lyrics switched to be about Balatro to my Balatro game. They don't even care that "Oh, Balatro" doesn't have the right amount of syllables. It actually adds to their enjoyment of it. Some of them weirdly think it's even better than the original. "I'm glad I live next to him instead of Brian Wilson," they whisper as if in prayer.

Here's a drawing.
A drawing by your bluesky friend, Pete Toms, that features a cowboy with a snake wrapped around their face standing in a field of cacti along with a Frankenstein, a smoking armadillo, a setting sun, and a large nefarious face peering out over the horizon.

Heard they’re gonna replace the Statue of Liberty with the design from this Steve Gerber / Bryan Hitch She-Hulk comic.
A panel from an 80s She-Hulk comic where a super villain who has the power of making Adbusters real makes the Statue of Liberty do a strip tease where she says, “Keep your poor, your tired, your huddled masses, gimme some men with style from the upper classes,” in an attempt to wake up Americans who have been hypnotized by marketing. He also has a giant ET light a giant Uncle Sam on fire, has a giant Ronald McDonald throw up hamburgers on Manhattan, and forces a wealthy political consultant to watch himself get guillotined. It’s a good comic.

The lyrics to T Rex’s Girl in the Thunderbolt Suit. For the purposes of this quote BlueSky tweet, I will convince myself that Marc Bolan faked his own death and will gladly attempt to prove it in court if I have to.

Wow.

Yet again thinking about this Ditko cover which remains maybe the most relatable piece of art I’ve ever seen.
The cover of Haunted no. 3 where a titularly haunted guy is running toward the viewer saying, "Why? Why? Why? Why?" While a banner above him says, "You BETTER believe "THIS IS HOW IT IS." And there's a cemetery with a caped goblin and a ghost or something behind him.

Happy October.
A screen grab of a disheveled Detective Andy Sipowicz in a hospital bed frowning while sticking his bottom lip out Sipowicz says, “Sad pumpkin.” Sipowicz’s doctor who kind of looks like a sad pumpkin but maybe slightly less than Sipowicz looks on with concern

A good panel from All Star Comics 19 where Sandman is punching a guy dressed like he’s in Sunn 0))) and saying, “Music is the gift of the gods! It brings pleasure and joy to all men — and you won’t spoil it!”

The average trader joe's customer.
A panel from a Dell Frankenstein comic where Frankenstein is saying, "I don't know where I came from... I don't know who I am...I don't even know why I am here. But something, way deep inside of me tells me that I have a mission...That I have a purpose.

It’s possible that RKF loves measles so much that he’s trying to look like Measles from Dick Tracy.
A couple of panels from a Dick Tracy strip featuring the crime boss Measles. This fucking guy.

Here's a short comic I drew.
A comic strip. Panel 1: A guy in a gi is doing martial arts moves. Caption: This is Joseph Memo. He’s a student of martial arts. Panel 2: He practices Tri Ski. A system that combines Tai chi, sleight of hand magic, and the Stanislavski method. Panel 3: The main reason he joined is because the brochure told him it would "boost his self confidence by 72% (scientifically proven)." Panel 4: It seemed to work. Most of his classmates were friendly and the exercises made him feel connected not only to his body but to the world around him. Panel 5: He found himself eagerly looking forward to Tuesday night every week. The comic strip continues. Panel 1: Then during his first "mass sparring" match he was badly beaten. Panel 2: His nervous classmates and Strangely calm master assumed he was dead and not wanting to bring shame upon the school or legal complications on themselves, they dropped him into a dumpster in back of a nearby hospital. He woke up covered in bruises and medical waste. Panel 3: Every Tuesday since he healed, Memo attempts to return to the dojo, but doesn’t want to embarrass himself, his master, or his classmates by le+ting them know he's actually alive. Panel 4: He's contemplated disguises and cosmetic surgery, but usually Just practices alone in the drug store parking lot across the Panel 5: Unbeknownst to Memo, his classmates can see him clearly through the storefront window. They believe he is a ghost and it fills them with a guilt and terror that only reinforces their devotion to their lessons.

This is me whenever I watch more than 14 seconds of tv news.
A panel from a 1940s Wonder Woman comic where Wonder Woman’s mom says “Hello, daughter, I’ve been watching the people of America thru the magic sphere…I’ve seen some strange things…” and WW replies, “Strange things, Mother?”
