This was the last planned stop on our interactive exhibition tour, but there have been rumblings of possibility to go even further than we imagined. We'll see!

Hyun Sook and I are so excited to join the @comixexperience.bsky.social Graphic Novel Book Club this week to answer questions and give every subscriber a piece of original art!
(that's a lie, I'M so excited, Hyun Sook is panicking and hyperventilating about public speaking in her second language)

Public Domain Day's coming, but it's weird!
We get Pluto as a prison guard before he was a friendly dog…
Betty Boop as a friendly dog before she was a flapper…
Blondie as a flapper named Boopadoop before she was a housewife…
Is there a housewife who became a prison guard to complete the circle?

@phyphor.one-dash.org wins, as the only one who got me to 5 degrees (and having to use a cinematographer as a link) by busting out this dude.
I used movies, TV, podcasts & books. I decided not to use the T-shirt I designed for Jonathan Coulton, even though it'd get me to Parks & Rec

Maria Bamford worked on Fionna & Cake with Steve Wolfhard, who I worked on The Super Popular Show with, so that's 2 degrees, but I JUST used that show, so I'll come up with another route.
Maria was in The Bubble with David Duchovny, Who was in Evolution with John Cho, who was in Tempest with me (3)

Me: Oh, the wardrobe I need for tomorrow's shoot is dirty. I'd better get everything cleaned so I don't let the crew down .
The crew: Hi, I'm your professional dirt brusher. I rub muck and mud all over you between each take to ensure you look dirty as heck.

How is this still a thing?
Y'all were born decades after even NOSTALGIC RERUNS of Bam! Pow! Batman went off the air. You're in France, which has its own vibrant non-Bam! Pow! comics culture.
But you're reporting on ABUSED WOMEN with the words "Bam! Pow!" on screen the whole time.

Sigh. Are we still doing this?
When I was a kid, every news story about comics began with "Bam! Pow!" because boomers only knew about Adam West Batman.
But a 2025 France 24 report about accountability for sexual assault at Angoulême???
This is the least "Bam! Pow!" comics story you could report.

It's not like people won't notice that it looks nothing like Haeundae Beach, because they have to actively stand on said beach to see it.
I will not share images of the slop, but the AI also made up a new city slogan? That is... something?

This is the best award because they don't just give you a fancy certificate and gold pin, they actually buy hundreds of books to send to libraries! Heck yeah!

I just hope this doesn't cause confusion when you do the inevitable 2000 Films super draft of the seven films that randomly inserted 2000 at the end of their titles to be cool.

Jake-Jake was a nice boy.
Except when he tried to steal my wife.
When I took Hyun Sook to America, he fell in love with her and would growl at me if I tried to hug or kiss her.
Can't blame him, though.
