I dreamt of reading an animated XKCD comic. And right in the middle of it, Randall placed an ad. An animated ad in the style of XKCD.
I hope this wasn't the future.

Art from 'Aliens: Reapers' from 1991. This was a short 8 page no dialog comic story by John Arcudi and illustrated by Simon Bisley about 'Reapers' - an alien race that infiltrate Xenomorph hives to eat their eggs. My kinda alien race. 🍳

Calling them comic-book villains is unjust to comic-book villains, none of which ever actually committed genocide.

robert hunter's foray into horror comics (with a wisp of sci-fi), written in 1995 with art by timothy truman. a bit overwrought, but genuinely creepy & weird, & fun to read him in this mode. https://archive.org/details/dog-moon

I already feel unsafe levels of investment in the property and I can’t afford to finance another passion project.
So I might test the waters with a one-shot featuring Six Gun Gorilla.
https://pdsh.fandom.com/wiki/Six-Gun_G

Six-Gun Gorilla
Six-Gun Gorilla was an ape named O’Neil who as an infant was kidnapped and brought from Africa to the United States where he was sold to a prospector named Bart Masters of Colorado. Masters was a loving owner whom the gorilla grew to love like a father. Bart Masters taught his gorilla to dig, fetch firewood, gather water, cook, clean, and most importantly, load and fire a revolver. Unfortunately, Bart Masters was murdered by Tutt Strawhan, leader of the Strawhan Gang, in order to learn what...

An Answer to Auden: The Truth About Love, 1937 to 2026
In 1937, W. H. Auden published "O Tell Me the Truth About Love" inside a sequence called Twelve Songs. The poem is a list of comic guesses about what love might look like, smell like, sound like, do. Each refrain stanza ends in the same plea: tell me. The song is a young man's question asked across a noisy room, hoping someone older will answer.

How collectible picture insets in Turkish chewing gum became a currency among children in post-soviet Kazakhstan 🇰🇿:
„A stick of gum could be carefully stretched across an entire day, but a rare insert could retain value for months or even years. “Turbo”, “Final 90”, “Tipi Tip” and many others were no longer just candy wrappers. They became the building blocks of a childhood economy centered around cars, football players, cartoon characters, romantic comic strips.“
