And a hell of a punchline.

Kind of sounds like the zoo came out ahead on the deal.

I talked to a friend of mine who has a comic coming out this year to pick his brain about the whole process. It sounded like kind of a nightmare, honestly. I'm ever more impressed that he managed it. I've been dancing around the idea of getting one of my own projects off the ground, but now I don't think I'm in any…

My roommate, after slacking for weeks on finding us a new roommate to fill our empty bedroom, told me she's just going to end the lease to save money. With two weeks left to go in the month. And she doesn't have the money to pay me my deposit back (I sublet from her). All of which sucks, but being the prescient fellow…

I'm going to stump for U.S.Avengers again. The cast is great, the villain is Donald Trump as an interdimensional pirate with a skull for a head, and it's really dedicating itself to an examination of what it means to be patriotic and what America means to different people. Also, last issue included barely veiled…

I keep telling you, Dik, that old woman you met in the woods isn't a witch, she's just schizophrenic. She can't grant your wishes.

I got permission to take time off for the week I'm planning to visit friends in LA and to tour the DC Comics offices. Nerd fun, plus my contact there is trying to set up meetings for me with other people there. Networking!

DON'T DATE ROBOTS!

But no one's being handed giant sums of money for no reason!

Shitty. I didn't get the job I interviewed for and (for unrelated reasons) had to start apartment-hunting, which I hate.

Ooh, deep cut.

Only Jack Kirby knows what the hell that is.

Oh, it does. We just don't talk about it.

I quite enjoyed Cartoon Network's bonkers in-browser MMO, FusionFall. It was particularly fun to see them attempt to weaver together all the characters and settings from their various shows into one alien invasion plot. Some characters had even gotten older: the Powerpuff Girls were now in middle school, and Dexter…

A Cosmic Cube is an ultrapowerful handheld white cube made from, last I heard, somehow condensing the energy of another dimension into solid form. It can do basically anything its wielder wants and should therefore be wielded by basically no one. Sometimes they gain sentience and become more or less gods. The Red…

Serious Nerd Response: A Mother Box is a sort of living computer. You can use it to teleport and a few other nifty sci-fi things. People from Jack Kirby's Fourth World comics tend to carry them around. An Infinity Stone is a little colorful rock with absurd power over just one thing (hence the names: Power Stone, Mind…

In other news, just the other day I rewatched the episode of Animaniacs featuring their Power Rangers parody, and it remains delightful. I was surprised how much of it had stuck with me from back in the day.

This Week in the Solana Galaxy: I finished Ratchet & Clank and am in the midst of playing through in Challenge Mode. I've already got all the Gold Bolts and Holocards, so right now all I need to focus on is bringing hilarious explosive and/or wooly death to all who stand in my way. And man, what a great galaxy to do…

No, that was the other episode that featured Bender in drag.
