What I've Been Doing

What I’ve Been Doing

So, been quiet around here. Sorry about that. Been working a lot. But also been doing a brand new project that has gone live.

If you like what I do here, take a look at Sequentially Yours where I do the same for comic books, only in video format. Two episodes are up, one deep look at comics and social progress and one editorial about Future’s End.

Also, if you like the opening and closing themes,

Why the Recent Spate of “Religious Freedom” Bills May Be a Good Thing

Why the Recent Spate of “Religious Freedom” Bills May Be a Good Thing

Anybody who has been paying attention to politics recently has probably heard about the “religious freedom” bills that have been hitting a number of states recently. It’s a little mind boggling that all of them have been making it to state legislatures all at the same time, with similar language, but so far it’s been very difficult to actually track where they are coming from. Usually when bills…

The Advocate has named Pope Francis Person of the Year. Even they can't adequately explain why.

If comics want respectability, they need to stop with these ridiculous political bio fluff pieces and say something.

As much as I hate to say it, I really liked Avengers Arena. Also, have a new blog to talk about comics

Let Slip the Reindeer of War

How I plan to fight the War on Christmas this year. Let's just see the religious right stop me from ruining their holiday

Seeing as how we are post-Thanksgiving, I think it’s safe to say that the War on Christmas has begun again. I’m woefully under armored for this particular fight, having no t-shirts or jackets that actively disparage religion or Christmas in general.

In…

I can't believe I didn't hear about Batkid until today. Go read about him now.

Man Divorced From Reality Running For Sheriff

In which I discuss, again, why claiming to be "not politically correct" is not something to be proud of.

Mark Kessler, a man who doesn’t let reality get in the way of his simplistic worldview and violent hatred of people not like him, has decided since it’s likely that he will be fired as police chief of Gilberton, PA, that he will run a write in campaign…

Daily Caller Mocks Trans* Students

The DC has a habit of belittling trans* people, and it's worst when they do it to kids. Good news at the end, though.

There are some people who think that Tucker Carlson is a nice guy, one of those conservatives that aren’t fire breathing radicals. They remember when he was on MSNBC, they look at the bowties that preceded Doctor Who but not Buckaroo Banzai,and think,…

Words Mean Things: "Out of Context"

In which I explain what "out of context" means for those who think it's "thing that make me sound bad."

We’re introducing a new feature on this blog called “Words Mean Things.” It’s where I explore various phrases that have come to be used in pop conversation as defensive or offensive rhetoric, but are completely divorced from any substantive meaning.

The…

It's fairly clear, other than FREEZE PEACH, why people would want shirts that say they support rape. Just dumb.

Why Do We Keep Listening to Dawkins?

What, exactly, possesses Richard Dawkins to say so obviously stupid things? He is supposed to be smart, right?

Seriously. I know he has been incredibly important to the atheist movement, but let’s take a step back and ask if it’s worth listening to somebody who apparently thinks that we can’t judge pedophiles before a certain arbitrary date because they didn’t…

Poor Reaction to Affleck: He-Nerd Rage

In which I attribute the negative reaction to Affleck as Batman to male nerd rage. Too long for a standard FB post.

Wow. Been asked three times today what I think about Ben Affleck cast as Batman, once by a person I don’t know and who isn’t a reader. Hate to pass the buck, but with the exception of his dislike of Man of Steel that seems to increase over time (I still…

Comics Leading Society

In which I argue that comics lead social progress, not follow it, contrary Gerry Conway et. al.

I know this is a little late, so please excuse me, but I just couldn’t let this go without saying something.

You might have heard that some serious heavyweights in the comics industry dismissed accusations of sexism, while also saying that comics are…
