Seattle and Portland area folks:
These two sweeties need a new foster home by December 12th. One boy, one girl, both fixed. They’ll come with food, toys, and litter (also a cat playpen if you want it).
Would really appreciate any shares to cast a wider net.

Is there already a thing called “Cargoyles” about rockabilly gargoyles who are really into hot-rod culture?
If so, can I still take credit for it and get some of the money?
Please?
Oh, also they are probably from space and in a band.

Is it possible that when Tom Sawyer “tricked” those kids into painting his fence, he was just trying to teach them karate so that they could compete in the All Valley Karate Tournament?

Look, I was prepared for *a* hallow this eve. Maybe even a few hallows. But this is starting to get ridiculous. I mean, save some hallows for the other eves!

If we’re going to call the one in the left a “sloth,” then we really ought to call the one on the right a “wrath.” Fair is fair.

I read a book where a character was described as having a head shaped “like an upside down potato.”
I got so mad I threw the book across the street.
After a minute I went and retrieved it, but I’m still mad at the idea that potatoes have a uniform shape OR a right side up.

What meaningless thing/experience are you still mad about? Like it should not matter at all, DOES not matter at all. But you’re still MAD.
And how long has it been?
I bought some bagels at Hy-Vee four years ago. So bad. Too big. Hard. Bland. WORTHLESS.
I’m still FURIOUS.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

When Hub and Sara get together it is an explosion of incredible people being silly. Listen or fix your heart.
@titanupthedefense.bsky.social is back on BIE! Always one of my favorite people to chat about comics with, and in classic Hub form he has brought us a completely bonkers Silver Age oddity - the debut of Jonny Double! Who um you may not have heard of, but this is nonetheless a very fun episode.

I had such a great time talking with Sara (as I always do) about this weird-ass old comic that is near and dear to my heart! Check it out! And also, listen to the other episodes, because they’re all pretty great.

@titanupthedefense.bsky.social Just wanted to say it was great to hear Hub on the "Best Issue Ever" podcast just now. I've really missed the show and it was such a nice surprise to get to hear him talk about strange comics again after so long. It really made me smile.

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I wish more modern ceremonies still included, “This marriage is not a HOAX! The bride and groom are not ROBOTS!” in the vows.
Could save a lot of heartbreak down the road.

Who cares what the Founding Fathers would think of our current day politics?! If they had gotten off their lazy asses and started the American Revolution 7 years earlier, I could be cheering for an NBA team called the Philadelphia 69ers! Fuck those guys!
