Logging on
From Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen. New hardcover edition coming in June. Starkly lit black and white comics panel. Jimmy Olsen, in a sleeveless tee and old sweatpants, is on his elbows and knees in a dark, filthy SRO in Gotham City. His face is in his hands and he is miserable, saying “IT'S THIS! IT'S ALL OF THIS! THIS DARKNESS AND MADNESS-“ Written by Matt Fraction. Drawn by Steve Lieber. Lettered by Clayton Cowles.

That, uh, cold open has me looking up Norwegian ice hotels.
SORRISNIVA Alta, Norway 39 SORRISNIVA* How to sleep in the Igloo Hotel Sleeping Arrangements The temperature inside the Igloo Hotel is a steady -4 to -7 °C. You'll be sleeping on top of a layer of reindeer skins ond you get two Arctic sleeping bags per person, each withstands up to -30°C. You can put one into the other, or, if you're travelling in two, you can zip two sleeping bags together and thus share body heat. Snow absorbs sound, so the rooms are extremely quiet and together with the fresh air they offer a relaxing good night's sleep. Dos... Only take the sleeping bags inside the Igloo Hotel once you want to go to sleep. Leaving them in the cold without using them will make them uncomfortably clammy. If the sleeping bag is too long, you con put some clothes inside or fold the end underneath your feet. Take as little as possible inside the ho-tel. Everything you take with you, be it your phone or extra clothes, should stay with you inside the sleeping bag. If it's left outside, it will either freeze or the batteries will be depleted long before morning. What to Wear Long woollen thermal underwear, a hat, a scarf and wool socks will be sufficient. For your comfort you can take a Reece and maybe mittens with you. Put your sleeping clothes on in the changing rooms before you go inside the Igloo Hotel. Keep on your winter boots and leave them next to the bed so that you can find them easily if you have to get up during the night. LL ... and Don'ts Don't drink tea, coffee or beer about an hour or two before you go to sleep. It will make you go to the toilet during the night, and you want to avoid that. Also, go to the toilet before you go in the Igloo Hotel to sleep. Don't take a shower or go to the sauna before you go to sleep in the hotel. Wet hair or skin will freeze and make you uncomfortable. Don't put anything made of metal on the ice tables - coins freeze especially well and you'll need an icepick to get them off the table in the morning. The Morning After Th…

Amazing, no notes, I do not desire to learn anything else about this story, for it would only detract from the perfection on this headline.
A screenshot with a photograph of a light brown cat whose smooshed face has the effect of making him look grumpy. In the blurry distance is a drawing of this same cat, with a sadder expression. Under the photo, text reads: "Meet Gary, the cat who ended a friendship and cost $25,000 in legal fees" A calligraphic "I" (the logo of the Philadelphia Inquirer) is in the bottom right corner of the image.

Terrific tribute from @paulkupperberg.bsky.social to a hardcover that was enormously important to comics artists my age and older. I couldn’t get my own copy when I was a kid & the library didn’t have it, but somehow a friend’s dad did, so I repeatedly read it cover to cover at his house!

LAKE YELLOWWOOD SLAUGHTER is the graphic novel "adaptation" of a 1983 slasher movie that never existed (directed by a has-been giallo filmmaker cashing in on Hollywood's new slasher fad). This time, the summer camp killer goes after the parents. It's by me and Gavin Guidry…and you can order it here!

Day 319: Another "Animal Un-familiar." VERY unfamiliar!
2-panel comic drawn in pen with crosshatch shading. The panels are stacked vertically and separated with a diagonal border, and the top caption says "Drawing another animal I don't know, pulled randomly from a list of reader suggestions: Today is the "Fossa." Panel 1 starts with a caption: "This is another one of those animals i have... no idea about. (Is it a bird? I always think it might be a bird) Let's draw it with no reference!" Below is a drawing of a squat-looking bird with large eyes and overhanging feather "eyebrows" and plumes of feathers sprouting outward in a messy fan behind its head. It's perched on a branch and has short, stubby tail feathers. The drawing is surrounded by cursive captions saying "Some bulbous eyes & like a hawk nose?? A sort of built-in headdress? (this can't even be close...) I really just keep drawing muppets, huh..." Panel 2 starts with a boxed caption that says "Now to see how it really looks:" Below is a drawing of a cat creature with a lithe, muscular body and a long, tapered tail with very short hair. It has round ears, large round eyes and it is poised on a rock. The cursive captions say "Oh. Oh wow. Get a load of this guy. Cat body, mouse head. I've never seen this creature in my life. 3 decades on this planet and I know nothing. It's got a rat tail." Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann), today's date (11-15-2025) and the time I spent drawing this (50 minutes)

Morgan Kagesheongai considers the complex intersection of hair, gender, and culture as a Two-Spirit Ojibwe in this beautiful comic from our archive. #TransAwarenessWeek 1/2
www.ohjoysextoy.com/a-two-spirit...
A Two-Spirit Question by Morgan Kagesheongai, published June 20, 2023 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/a-two-spirit-question-morgan-kagesheongai IMAGE: Indigenous art-inspired illustrations of two figures. Two-Spirit has a braid down to their shoulders while Waskwane has a short, curly hair cut. TWO-SPIRIT (crying on the floor): boo hoo hoo WASKWANE: oh? what's wrong, little two-spirit? TWO-SPIRIT: it's just awful waskwane. everyday, i feel like the world looks at my braids and sees me as a kwe WASKWANE: oh? but what's wrong with that? TWO-SPIRIT: i want to be seen as a niin! i'm a two-sprirt after all! WASKWANE: well, you could always cut your braid! TWO-SPIRIT (offended): uh, no waskwane, i cannot just "cut my braid". my braid is an extremely important part of my spiritual identity as an ojibwe. it represents my commitment to my culture and its teachings. but lots of ojibwe have short hair! WASKWANE (sharing a growing flower between the two of them): would you call them less spiritually committed? TWO-SPIRIT (now growing a leafy vine by themself): of course not! everyone's journey with spiritualism and culture is different. it's just that i feel most connected to my own journey when i have my braid and i don't want to lose that WASKWANE:even though it's causing you to feel at odds with your gender identity? TWO-SPIRIT (a single leaf grows from their finger): yes WASKWANE: goodness little two-spirit, that is a lot! those are two very important aspects of your identity in conflict with one another. i don't know if there's anyone who can say which decision is the right one... TWO-SPIRIT: so then what do i do? WASKWANE: well, i have to ask the obvious: have you tried reaching out to an elder yet? [Waskwane's stomach grumbles "hungryyy"] TWO-SPIRIT: well... normally i would, but i've had both good and bad experiences broaching this topic with them. some elders really understand, and soe don't. i do want to sit down with one eventually, but i don't think i' ready yet. WASKWANE: what about a two-spirit elder? wouldn't they be most equipped to help put things into perspective for you? TWO-SPIRIT: ah! gosh you're totally right! and i do know someone, but... they left to help indigenous youth in the city, and are hard to ake contact with. WASKWANE (Stomach continues to grumble "hungryyy"): but not impossible! TWO-SPIRIT: well, no, not impossible WASKWANE (finding an apple tree ad proceeding to pick the fruit): they'd probably really like it if you called. but you know, even if some elders don't understand your questions about gender identity... having them ear can still help TWO-SPIRIT: oh? IMAGE: Waskwane climbs the apple tree, picking fruits and passing them to Two-Spirit WASKWANE: being with them while they navigate their own spiritual journey... can really help you to make sense of yours... without having to say anything. TWO-SPIRIT: i think i get it... WASKWANE: and on the flip side... when you need to affirm your journey with gender... the lgbt+ community is a great resource! They can help you connect with helpful resources and other two-spirits TWO SPIRIT: ...wait so...

Tuesday marked 4 years on HRT for me. In those four years, I've experienced the world with eyes unclouded by self-hatred, I've looked at the path ahead of me with excited anticipation rather than abject dread, and I've found the thing that above all else, makes me the happiest. Life.
