Indiana Jones sits at a table monkey on his shoulder holding up the Lament Configuration into the sunlight
"The Lament Configuration. Created by 18th-century craftsman Philip LeMarchand, this mechanical device is said to be extremely dangerous and once solved acts as a key to open up another dimension."

Can't wait for the city to step in and ask "do you have a permit for that?"
Shock Suspenstories #2 (1952). On the cover, an enraged mob is beating a man, with people calling him βa dirty redβ and telling him to go back to where he came from. One man begs them to stop, telling them what theyβre doing is wrong and to act like Americans.
Cover by Wally Wood.
Those are tears of joy around his eyes.
Lucky bastard.
The twist ending is that the women swap their hair and he doesn't notice the difference.
Nor do the readers.
Please don't say that, because there's always a sub-basement for "dumb."
"Surely they can't sink any low..."
"BOMB IRAN RECKLESSLY! HELTER SKELTER! IGNORE MY RASH AND EPSTEIN CONNECTIONS!"
It's charming, and if it helps you cope, all of us are happy to come along for the ride. π

A book manuscript is like a stone in a rock tumbler: polish, polish, polish.
Just finished another pass over ~100,000 words. There's one last section I'd like to review again, then back to the publisher it goes. Here's hoping I hit the π― this time!
My first thought when the medal went around Patel's neck:
"Boy, Trump officials sure do love their unearned awards..."
I absolutely love it! Thank you!
T. Ocellus + MacReady = a movie I would watch until my own eyes fell out.
OpenAI Unveil βFinal Sloganβ
The surly, sepia-tone negative of a raccoon that we call "president" is about to get a $175 BILLION smackdown.
Tsk, tsk. At least consumer prices will finally drop. Wasn't that one of his campaign promises? Guess he'll be keeping it whether he wants to or not.

The other person asks βBut it answers the questions correctly?β Person responds βOh my goodness, no. No no no no no.β By Aram J. French Appropriated due to missing alt text
I may return to #Scrivener instead of using #Apple #Pages. The subscription-based #CreatorStudio model with #AI concerns me. They're emulating #Adobe's worst instincts.
Scrivener integrates with many tools in ways Pages cannot, anyhow. Also: fuck AI.

Page 24 of issue 4 of Monsters in my Pocket. Blonde child Theresa tells a miniature Wolfman to heel. Then Wolfman is told to roll over. Then Wolfy is told to play dead which is illustrated in a very dramatic fashion. Finally, Wolfy is told to sit in which he pulls a chair to sit on with a huge smile and tongue wagging. Drawn by Gil Kane with words by Dwayne McDuffie.
Found this issue online and it's such a fun story. The art and dialogue are easy to follow.
Even though it's meant for a younger audience manages to still be entertaining.
At the risk of making a political joke, I'm guessing he's a "Blue Dog Democrat."
"Stories for men, by men, about men!"
Yeah, this reminds me of an old Lexx episode... or at least its ending.

Wait a minute... there's no air in space. Did the Air-Bandits steal it all? I'm so confused.
Sadly, the script used for this issue was the basis for Together. That's why she's flying across the room.
A cartoon made in response to an Elon Musk tweet that reads βWhoever said βmoney canβt buy happinessβ really knew what they were talking about πβ The black and white cartoon shows Musk standing against the wind. There is a distant expression on his face and a single tear being blown from his left eye. He wraps his arms around himself, trying to keep warm. The world is so cruel to him. Punishing him for the meagre crime of hoarding massive amounts of wealth and showing no empathy for the vulnerable. Also, he uses his platform to boost racism, misogyny, and white supremacy but seriously guys who would hold that against a fella? Next to him a caption reads βBeing a shit person is ruining my lifeβ

"I was kneeling at church on Sunday, and I asked 'Lord, why don't people appreciate the importance of Just-in-Time Logistics? And a ray of light descended upon me, followed by a booming voice. 'Spread my gospel using Salesforce,' it said. Our savior is so wise!"
