Canโt have a rich inner life without at least a couple of unexpressed thoughts!
On the one hand itโs completely fine to write erotica about whatever floats your boat no matter how much it might upset somebody else; on the other if you insist on sending the details of your work unsolicited to people using the internet you should probably be quarantined and studied

I had no choice but to pick up this comic at Boston Comics in Color - Fist of the New Lands by D.B. Spur. Awesome, adrenaline-fueled, superpowered ninja violence.

Dubya started two wars for no reason, turned New Orleans into a fucking Mad Max movie, and then destroyed the entire economy
The thing with "was Bush or Trump worse" is I feel like, we were at like a 7 out 10 in governmental quality when Bush came in, a 2 when he left, then Obama pulled us back up to like 4 out of 10 then when Trump came in he crashed us instantly down to 1.

Don Perlin has passed away. Don was a wonderful collaborator, passionate about the work, enthusiastic, always willing to learn and grow. And, more important, he was an incredibly nice man. Doing DEFENDERS with Don was a highlight of my early days at Marvel. Heartfelt condolences to Don's family.

www.newarab.comI remember writing a story about how Trumpโs pick for labor secretary was a wife-beating scumbag and *Trumpโs* crisis PR guy tried to get me to append a statement he attributed to the now-ex-wife. Those guys lie as easy as breathing.
Kicked a soccer ball into my kidโs face at the park and now heโs refusing the split the tooth fairy money with me
everything good about this country is contained in the Termite Terrace-era Looney Tunes
