I would like to politely dare anyone at NaNoWriMo to say, to Alan Moore’s face, that working class writers need AI to be able to create.

I believe McMahon once fired him over something like this, but I can't be sure. Dave Meltzer can correct me.

Picked up an entire Jack Chick comic (NOT a short "Chick tract" but a full blown comic) that's part of his THE CRUSADERS series. Say what you will of Chick's worldview, Chick's collaborator Fred Carter was an incredible artist.

Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael (Podcast) Skeptical Inquirer Robert Skvarla Great Havana Syndrome episode! “Shame on Scott Pelley. That's just trash journalism and it's disturbing. And I would love to go one-on-one with Scott Pelley.” ~ Robert E. Bartholomew

PARALLAX👁‍🗨VIEWS Dr. Assal Rad (Assal Rad) returns to discuss the mainstream media coverage over the past year of Gaza + Israel/Palestine. We discuss anti-Palestinian bias, John Oliver, a leaked NYT memo about how to frame Gaza, & more. parallaxviews.podbean.com/e/arad2024/

So I got a biiiiiiiig fucking feature coming out in the next few weeks (I think?) for which USDOJ's National Security Division turned down an interview request. Wonder why, since they apparently can't stop citing my reporting in their court filings???

I want to see a feature-length documentary about Donald Pleasance’s Italian adventures in the ‘80s/‘90s. He played the devil, worked with Edwige Fenech, a chimpanzee & was written out of his final role in a bloated vanity project due to his unexpected passing. It writes itself!

The first “Hello, I’m Shelley Duvall” was said to the world 42 years ago (September 11, 1982) today in the first episode of Faerie Tale Theatre.

So, I get why folks now look at the HOWARD THE DUCK movie as a cult classic. Fine. But producer Gloria Katz's dismissiveness of the cleverness & existentialist humor that was Steve Gerber's comics remains grotesque & disappointing. And yes, those comics were existentialist.

A 🔥🔥🔥 NEW EPISODE OF PARALLAX VIEWS! Historian William Hogeland (William Hogeland) on his latest page-turning barnburner THE HAMILTON SCHEME, de-romanticizing Alexander Hamilton, class struggle & America's Founding, & challenging historical narratives! parallaxviews.podbean.com/e/whogeland202…

Does anyone know where I could find the R. Crumb/Crumb Family COVID comic book? Didn't even realize this was a thing.

Blowback week

Alan Moore's Saga of Swamp Thing vs. Dario Argento's Tenebre

Anyone remember that time Grant Morrison got hired to write for Glenn Danzig's X-rated comics line, so he wrote a yarn about a demon possessed Wilhelm Reich-style orgone accumulation room that turns occupants into sex maniacs & eventually flesh blob monsters? 1990s were weird.

New episode should be up tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Got an episode coming out for the Patreon with C. Derick Varn (Varn Vlog (C. Derick Varn)) in case you've been wondering why I've posted so much comics stuff lately. That and I'm retreating a bit from the hell of current events right now (which I feel guilty about; but it's too depressing)
