I’m an even prouder Dad than usual as my daughter was chosen for a Questbridge scholarship and has been matched to her top choice, Grinnell! @grinnellcollege.bsky.social

I’ll be calling her my Grinnellinja from now on which I imagine will look like this…

My daughter is the Colossus for my Fastball Special. Without her I would not be able to hurtle through this world, claws extended and ready to be the best there is at what I do.

My little square of blue-taped safety in the Cape Coral shelter, waiting for Hurricane Milton’s arrival. #hurricane #hurricanemilton

Pierre Christin has passed, the writer of so many great BD over the decades. I especially love his collaborations with Enki Bilal, and The Hunting Party is one of my all-time favorite comics.

Today’s light reading.

Went to my LCS to get my new comic for the month… and some older goodies as well.

Starting this morning with an old Bagge.

And he would pull the same trick later in Big Numbers 2!

Though this design was by far Grell’s sexiest…

If you suspect a line from Finnegans Wake is being purposefully vulgar and dirty… it probably is.

The song always makes me think of this page from the Vertigo Voices one-shot, The Eaters...

Finnegans Wake is full of unexpected delights. I’m hoping Joyce made a Deez joke in Ulysses.

Found me a snack buddy.

Time for a snack.

This just arrived in the mail! The very first reprint of Manhunter from 1979, in a black & white oversized format. Goes will with my 1980s Baxter reprint edition, the 1990s Special edition with the new story, the recent Deluxe edition and the IDW Artist Edition.

Just arrived in the mail! I know what I’ll be reading for the next few days!

Got some Larry Gonick books in the mail today! The United States volume is to help my daughter prepare for her AP US History exam. The Modern World volumes are because I've never read them and Gonick is such a great comic book illustrator, storyteller, and educator.

New visitors. Or maybe returnees from last year.

Finally got it! I considered the Omnibus briefly but it had a whole lot more in it than I wanted (the Blackhawk HC has the same issue - I just wanted the Chaykin mini). Hopefully a HC deluxe edition with just the Fleisher/Aparo stories will be released, but in the meantime I’m enjoying this.

Dove right away into Philip Roth’s Zuckerman Bound after finishing Everyman and it’s even better than I remember it. It was the first Roth book I ever bought and read, and reading it in my 50s instead of my 20s has been illuminating and invigorating.

Took over two years but I finally got the Time2 Omnibus!
