The very finest in fake lies, yelling, and jokes that aren't worth the legwork
READER: My brain is on fire. Not (or at least not only) for comics reasons, nor for fever reasons because I’m the only one left in this goddamn state who wears a mask, but for a reason I don’t think I’ve ever brought up in my writings here: my lifelong, absolutely personality-destroying obsession with neography,…
Guys, I…think I did a bad thing. At the end of a work meeting today, the Executive Husks passed around this deck of corporate affirmation cards with things like ‘Enthusiasm’ and ‘Confidence’ and ‘Subservience To Authority’ and ‘Not Too Attached To My Family’ on them; you take one, you see the trait in yourself, same…
Hm. Forgot how I start my posts.Well, that’s probably as good a way as any; find below a CURATED SELECTION of the finest graphical novelties on the market, hot from the Comixology mi–y’know what no, I’m 100% sure that if I made that joke I’d get a news alert moments afterward revealing that Amazon did,…
Shortly before beginning this article I received an Alolan Sandshrew in Pokémon Go, courtesy of an egg sent to me by a pal in France; her name is Shrew Barrymore, and I’ve only had her for half an hour but if anything happens to her I will Faint everyone in this gym and then myself….
Yesterday, I called my wife at work to ask what a good name would be for a rat, not a joke-name like Brie Larson or Whisker Briskly: Private Eye, but like a good name. She yelled “MR. COFFEE” and hung up. I don’t know what she was in such a hurry to get back to;…
Readers: Hello. You read the words of a Bageler fresh from the egress of a crisis of identity, or at least of branding. What the hell’s a Bageler? Why should anybody care to read what one has to say? Surely some other name, something more indicative would suit me better and draw an audience more…
Before we begin this week’s festivities, a brief moment of gratitude. The other day this here notice popped up on me phone: I realize that on the scale of, y’know, the rest of the internet, that’s literally nothing, and indeed a decent percentage of it is almost certainly me doing format-checks on posts. Nonetheless, that…
Yes hello and welcome, friends, well-wishers and enemies whose grudging respect I have earned with my baccarat savvy. IT IS ANOTHER WEEK, despite our best efforts, and it brought with it the usual sundry trials that the human soul must endure like a rare and precious lime against the citrus zester of life, but fortunately…
AND AS IF YOU HADN’T GUESSED YET, IT’S TIME FOR NEW COMICS! Brought to you slightly late this week because my goddamn cat decided it was time for a medical emergency this morning! In any event: Yes, comics, and quite a few of them this week! Let’s take a look! At some books! A book-look….
WE INTERRUPT THIS GENTLE WEDNESDAY IN ORDER TO BRING YOU A LIST OF NEW COMICS! You may notice that this is significantly briefer and lighter on the details than my previous lists, and that’s because instead of cramming mini-reviews of related comics into these, I’ve started doing mini-reviews of my monthly books-read lists! This is…
