My joint's gist is prison, news, music, comic books, art, food, or whatever floats this inmate that day. Strike up some conversation or share my words with thinking types on the streets, Pal.


"Catwoman: Trail of the Catwoman": A Dialogue For Anybody Who Don't Do Comics YET (...Or Those Who Do)
September 14th, 2026 "My little cousin'll murder me if something happens to this" claimed the(n) fat little poser writing this about an issue of the New Teen Titans comic clearly his, scapegoating a now deceased (RIP, K.J.!) then-6 relation. Back in 1982 for a middle-scholar not trying to look any more tragic than a 12 year-old whose dad ate a gun for Easter supper, being over 8 and still doing superheroes was maybe worse.

"Crises of Infinite Irks: Bad Comics Politics and Conflict Transformation"
Chapter One: Butchering Barbara Gordon September 6th, 2026 Three days ago somebody in this prison I don't feel alone beside - rare like tartar in these wilds - hit the hole for an undetermined stay.

Alex Ross's detailed Norman Rockwell Ubermenschen-dystopian-blitzkrieg clusterfuck (I hope y'all know compliments when you read 'em) overshadowed a clearheaded and ingenious taut political thriller with roots set in 1938 wrapping sometime that sm

You Come A Long Way, Bad-Ass!
August 6th, 2025 Wonder Woman can be difficult to love because like a lot of amazing things she's gotta be shared with people. Feminists and sex-starved wolves wrestle to control Princess Diana da First. Wild enough her builders were both. Billy Marston was our early century "Dr. Fill". Totally a vintage pop-psychologist, S+M horn-dog, polygraph innovator, plus creator of child's material aimed at little girls. Cramming bondage into as much panel-age as he and artist H.G
