wait, don’t congresspeople get free gold-plated healthcare for life? i thought that was a thing.

Which was an especially delicious meta-burn by Vic Sage, given the Charlton Comics history/relationship with Rorshach and the rest of the Watchmen characters - O’Neil, Cowan and Magyar put out a really great run on that title.

I’ve seen mailpersons with the pith helmet gear in both Wisconsin and West Virginia, so it can’t be that regionally isolated... but maybe its because both places have wide seasonal variations? I mean, they’re not a common part of the uniform these days - it seems like they were more prevalent maybe 20 years ago, in…

new stuff from Kyle Baker is always welcome news and word that Beta Ray Bill will be featured in the new Guardians book is wonderful.

jeez, dude - maybe just enjoy your millions of dollars and shut the fuck up already?

i just want a buddy cop-type show starring a Gorn and a Horta, flying around the universe and solving crimes.

i would go with sauteed mushrooms and cream cheese - i make a sandwich spread with those two and the fake crabmeat stuff, which is extremely tasty on toasted pumpernickel, but i imagine it would probably pair just as well (or better) with pasta. (a shallot or two and a dash of hot sauce are usually the only extra…

Winslow is just a really good, underappreciated master of noir. His writing is taunt and propulsive and can frequently be (although not in these drug war books, which read more like highly-researched journalism filtered through fiction) surprisingly witty.

i don’t really care what you call yourself or how you personally define being conservative - all i really care is, who do you vote for? you don’t have to tell us, but if you’re helping to elect evil, obstructionist assholes like Mitch McConnell or Lindsey Graham or whoever else is actively working against the fair and…

i don’t know how early you have to get up to snag these deals but it’s not yet 1130AM Eastern and Amazon does NOT have this game for $26 - as of right now, it’s only available from third party sellers and the lowest price seems to be about $45.

doubtful - i mean, they didn’t do shit about gun control after Sandy Hook and that was a hell of a lot more than two kids.

if you have chronic pain and mad anxiety, you’re pretty much the kind of person medical marijuana is intended to help - why not talk to your doctor?

it’s more of a hassle, but there’s probably a bigger city within an hour or two drive of your location that will show this movie - make a day trip out of it to go shopping, sight-seeing, eat something different and take in a movie. bring some friends and make it a thing.

with way more saxophone solos, tho.

isn’t it tough to talk about the critical re-evaluation of a movie your own site didn’t give a glowing review of? even the article you link to notes: “the A.V. Club described it as “clever for its own sake, a showy piece of writing that doesn’t have that all-important ballast of sincerity.”

i would give ‘em the big collected editions of Jeff Smith’s BONE and Scott McCloud’s ZOT! and, actually, have done so several times. both are incredible works, super-accessible and genuinely moving, showcasing some of the best comics have to offer.

i used to hear this all the time in college, when lugging around the big drawing pads we used in figure drawing classes and i’d tell people to just try it and see what happens. the barriers to entry are pretty small - grab a paper grocery bag and a pencil and get to it. if you enjoy what happens, you can always buy…

congrads, jason lutes - this is one of those projects i never thought would be finished, since i’m positive i have the first couple issues packed away in storage somewhere from way back when i was still buying comics on the regular. i remember picking up JAR OF FOOLS when it first came out (christ, i was still in…

so here’s A Good Thing to do with vodka and kool-aid! take a 2-litre bottle of Mountain Dew (you don’t need all that sugar) and two empty vessels which each hold about four cups. you pour out soda until it reaches the very top of the label of the 2-ltr bottle - whatever that amount is, you pour an identical amount of…

so here’s what i don’t get about Subway: why isn’t their Veggie Patty more widely available and promoted? it tastes really good and yet, even the rare location that carries it almost never includes it on the menu board or does anything at all to promote it. i can think of at least six Subway locations in this area (and…
