Denis Kitchen should be mentioned alongside #comicbook avant-garde guerrillas like Crumb, Spiegelman, and Eisner. He created the #CBLDF and published #Gay Comix. He fought for the artistic expression of the oppressed and marginalized. Now a #documentary is on the way. boingboing.net/2025/02/2…

The first #trailer for #Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps has dropped. Previous outings have run the gamut from disastrous to not terrible. Very kitschy as it jumps back to the era of the first #comics. We’ll see, I guess. #movies www.youtube.com/watch

I also recall the term #ashcan being used to describe self-published #indie #comics, typically only available at one or two local comic book shops and made on 8x11" heavy copier paper and stapled down the middle. I’d bought a few at a comic shop in Knoxville, TN. in the 90’s. www.polygon.com/explained…

Things you can do instead of watching America being peacefully handed over to a criminal - Inauguration Special 2025

Don’t watch the news today since all they’ll be talking about is how great and normal it is to just hand an entire country over to a criminal in the name of a democracy that’s been utterly broken and shreaded. If that leaves you unsure of what to do instead, here are some suggestions:

  • Listen to some music. I’ve been sharing my album plays, and here’s a list of them that I refresh a few times a week. tylerknowsnothing.com/nothing-m…
  • Go for a walk
  • Spend time with friends
  • Play a game like a board game, video games, or get into table-top role-playing games (TTRPG), or even just a few dozen rounds of poker
  • Read a book like Isaac Asimov’s Robot series, many of which are murder mysteries. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robo…
  • Nap in a patch of sunlight or next to a warming fire with your kids and/or pets
  • Bake something like biscuits or pie or some nice, big potatoes and stuff them with cheese, bacon, sour cream, and chives, or whatever you like
  • Help out at your local homeless shelter or donate some old clothes to families in need
  • If you can afford it, slap a few hundred bucks on a gift card, go to that store, and pay for everyone until it runs out
  • Stop and smell some roses
  • Watch a movie or three like The Wild Robot (2024 on Apple TV, Google Play, Amazon Prime and more)
  • Write something nice on a pad of paper about nice and/or hopeful for yourself or someone you like
  • Get out an old computer and install Linux Mint and engage in some joyful technological discovery. linuxmint.com
  • Go out on a thrift shop crawl in your local area and buy some old things to give them a new home

And if you must watch TV, then allow me to suggest one of the single most joyful and affirming shows ever made;l Netflix’s Somebody Feed Phil. You will not regret it. Well, you’ll regret having trouble eating the food Phil eats, unless you live in one of the cities he’s covered.

Feel free to submit your own lists of things to do other than watch the news today. #animation #comics #manga #film #movies #linux #music #retrocomputing #humanrights #civilrights #scifi #tech #videogames #writing

#animation #anime #TV #Winter2025

I’ve been a big fan of #Marvel’s #Daredevil for a long, long time, and the only live action version that was ever good was #Netflix’s which ran three seasons starting in 2015, but it was cancelled. Now #Disney+ is bringing it back with Daredevil: Born Again in March and it looks really good. #TV www.youtube.com/watch

HA! #CartoonNetwork’s #AdventureTime. I didn’t watch nearly enough, but our daughter loved the series and there were also #comics, but it ended back in 2018. The good news? It’s coming back and will start dropping new issues in April of this year. www.animationmagazine.net/2025/01/o…

Ever wonder which is stronger when it comes to #Canada’s #Adamantium versus #Wakanda’s #Vibranium? Well, it’s Adamantium, while Vibranium remains easier to work with. But there is another #Marvel #Comics metal that is stronger, but if you want to know more read this interesting /Film article. www.slashfilm.com/1747074/a…

www.youtube.com/watch As reported on #Animation World Network, #Netflix has dropped a teaser for Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight, the third CG #film from Alain Chabat and the first to be localized for English audiences. I read Goscinny & Uderzo books as a child in the 70’s and have loved them ever since. Each successive film has looked better and better, and it’s clear they’re leaning more into the comic roots of the tales of one village of Gauls against the Roman Empire. #movies
