I love it when the interior pages are great. Like here.
The proof is in the pudding.
And this is really tasty pudding.

I had an amazing time making this comic, and I couldn't be prouder of the story I've crafted. I hope you'll join in 😊

I haven't. I intend to get a Dan Simmons short story collection and just haven't yet.
He's well collected in other anthologies, just missed this story.

The structure of The Divine Comedy allows Dante to condemn in the Inferno. Discuss the flawed nature of famed personalities in Purgatorio, and to praise in Paradiso.
It's all beautifully written and extremely influential to our perception of angels and demons, heaven and hell.

Latest read (audio), The Divine Comedy (1321) by Dante Alighieri; divided into the Inferno, Purgatorio, & Paradiso, this is both epic poem & Christian testament.
As a friend remarked, it's also political commentary in Dante's time. And a historical reflection on the centuries preceding him.

This thread, also known as:
I could be your dad.

And, sometimes, I could be your grandpa.

That happens a lot. The attention comes later even if the early work is great.

Ken Adam, the unsung hero of the Bond movies.

The Desk Set.
Great pick.

I speak 'classic movie' fluently.

If I stole 220 million, I'd be going to jail.

Just sayin'.

I'll be in my office.

My keyboard looked like the crumbs at the bottom of a cereal box were dumped on it.

I eat while working way too much.

There's a whole cleaning crew in the house.
There is no where to go.

Maybe grab a flashlight and a comic and sit in the closet.

My office is getting a deep cleaning and I'm waiting to get back to drawing.
I'm rudderless when I'm not working.

Print this on a brick and then throw it at the anti-solar, anti-wind, anti-green energy people.

Greed has no boundaries. It has an endless thirst.

Corruption.
Slavery.
Usury.
Industrialization.
Invasion of privacy.
Even thought policing-- if they can get away with it.

The "this is fine" dog meme comic, but he's saying "so I have a book coming out".

*sigh*

The attraction to these issues is George Perez's art. Even early on in his career, you can see that Perez is adding panels that enhance characterization. He's TLCing his work, taking the extra steps.

Latest read Fantastic Four 164 and 165 (1975) by Roy Thomas & George Perez; Roy was one of the first writers to bring fandom to comics. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not.
Here he unearths Bob Grayson, the original Marvel Boy-- whose origin, motive, & design are so silly I have to wonder why.

A few stray Penguins still waddling about.

They're great. Endings for what ails us. Beautiful conclusions.

Middlemarch has a special place in my heart because a passage from it was read at my wedding:

"That things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs."

-- George Eliot

Latest read, Middlemarch (1871) by George Eliot; optimistic young women marry--and each face trials and tribulations in provincial Middlemarch.
A strong argument could be made that this is the greatest Victorian age novel.

"His native warm-heartedness took a great deal of quenching."

George Eliot had a very reserved way of describing sex and desire :)

Macbeth.
I can't ignore how much it overlaps with my love of fantasy and horror.

Happy birthday, Laird!

Agree.

Sounds gross but it lay perfectly flat along my skull. I didn't know it was there. A decade later I feel a bump, a few days later the tip of the thorn is sticking out.
"Wtf, am I growing a horn?"
I grabbed the tip and it slid right out.

At the county landfill, a reckless dozer operator came too close and part of a palm tree hit my head and shoulder.
Ten years later I pulled an inch and a half long thorn/sliver, from one of the palm fronds, out of my temple.
