Blaugust 2023, Day 15: A Hundred Silent Symmetries

Posted on August 15, 2023 by The Bageler

I AM SORRY TO HAVE MISSED YESTERDAY’S POST. I had a bad brain day; nothing serious, just a big ol’ mental Foggy Bottom Boi settling down onto my noggin like a cat onto a television remote, heedless of whether I had things to do or whether I actually wanted to watch another episode of Star…

Blaugust 2023, Day 13: The Moleman Of Coleman, Texas

Posted on August 13, 2023August 13, 2023 by The Bageler

I STAYED UP TOO LATE READING COMICS, got up too early because cats are the worst, and have sought solace in the embrace of Hawai’ian sweet-rolls, so I don’t have another giant post in me today wherein I hint obliquely at a Fortean worldview that, if I’m being honest, probably didn’t surprise anyone, least of…

Blaugust 2023, Day 12: The Elemental Dave

Posted on August 12, 2023August 12, 2023 by The Bageler

Okay, I spent all of lunch catching up on all of the alien news I missed last month, and I put together a little digest for you: Three dudes said they’ve Seen Some Shit but can’t get into it, but trust them, it would blow our minds. This, to me, puts them roughly on the…

Blaugust 2023, Day 11: #ATCAB (All Time-Cops Are Bad)

Posted on August 11, 2023 by The Bageler

NOTHING NEW OR EXCITING HAS HAPPENED SINCE LAST NIGHT, TODAY I TOOK MISU TO THE VET FOR HIS HANDSOME PILLS AND THEN PLAYED CONTROL AND CAUGHT UP ON MADDOW WHILE JOB HUNTING. Before we begin, I have for you a fun fact and a sincere, out-of-character plea.The fun fact is this: the molecules in THC…

Blaugust 2023, Day 10: If Goozle It Must

Posted on August 10, 2023August 10, 2023 by The Bageler

This post brought to you by Brian’s Hat. I will tell you a true story. I’ve been reading Tarot for friends and family for years, which actually tells you a lot about the space I occupy in our family constellation; if you need someone tall who knows how to do drywall stuff you call Clarf,…

Blaugust 2023, Day 9: Presently A Local Mormon Cryptid

Posted on August 9, 2023August 9, 2023 by The Bageler

So I’m not usually one for multiplayer games–I was an only child, so for me video games are for playing alone in your room at 3am while listening to Queen and Pink Floyd’s The Wall on repeat, wondering why God would give you the desire to beat Raijin and Fujin in Balamb but not the…

Blaugust 2023, Day 8: Bamboozled By A Misu’s Guile

Posted on August 8, 2023August 8, 2023 by The Bageler

So listen, sometimes you know you have a job interview in 20 minutes, so you prep as best you can, you try to find a “Play This Right Before Your Interview To Get Hype” playlist on Spotify, then remember you’re old and don’t know any of these songs (which doesn’t mean they’re bad, just that…

Blaugust 2023, Day 7: Look At Me; I Am The Muchacho Now

Posted on August 7, 2023August 9, 2023 by The Bageler

THERE IS NO NEWS TODAY, mine is not a life fast-paced enough to generate new Items of Interest for 30 friggin’ days in a row; frankly that sounds terrifying and exhausting, and if that is true of you, I offer you my respect, sympathy, and the number of a good fake-your-death consultant. I do hope…

Blaugust 2023, Day 6: ACABRACADABRA.

Posted on August 6, 2023August 6, 2023 by The Bageler

Gang the place we get our groceries from–our vittle-gitter–ran out of the 1% milk we normally get for heart-health reasons, so we’ve been rocking that 2% life and I feel like I’m gonna go to jail if I get caught enjoying Corn Pops this much. Mine is the life of a king! A…Dairy King. #13:…

Blaugust 2023, Day 5: Belly Up To The Low Barsoom

Posted on August 5, 2023August 6, 2023 by The Bageler

No cold open. Because things are about to get hot in here. Hot with YELLING. FOR SOME REASON THE SCREENSHOT DID NOT SAVE, so you will have to take my word–rely upon the strength of the Bageler’s Bond™️–that it was #7. #7: What piece of content would you most like to have a sequel or…

People who are funnier and smarter than I am, and without whom I wouldn't be doing this:

- THE BLOGGESS:
The Original And Best, Jenny is required reading for the Cool Internet

- CEREALOUSLY:
Dan knows more about cereal than you do and he is going to CHANGE THAT WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE.

- DINOSAUR DRACULA:
That monster movie or Happy Meal toy that you loved but nobody remembers? Matt remembers, and he loves it just as much as you do.

Fantastic resources if you're new to comics or need specific information:

- COMIC BOOK READING ORDERS: Exactly what it sounds like, and an invaluable guide to a topic that seems to be confusing on purpose

- GRAND COMICS DATABASE: An incredible, global effort to catalogue every comic ever made, it's bananas; an amazing, ever-growing piece of work.

- HOW TO LOVE COMICS: Equal parts essays on the craft, starting-points for newbies, and deep-dives into beautiful obscure; you could not find a better rabbithole to go down.
