don’t act like just because it’s gonna be october that means you’re gonna go spend late nights in the forest with orange leaves, hoodies, and a significant other when we all know you’re gonna lay on the couch and watch Halloweentown High on Disney Channel

For the past few months I have been working on writing and drawing a new comic book called Citizen Canine. This is the first page. It’s not finalized, but I wanted to put something out there.

What’s Citizen Canine about? It’s a tense (hopefully) tightly-plotted CIA story, but it stars exclusively cats, dogs and other non-human animals. I don’t want to say much more, but the first chapter will be online soon.

I’ll post more panels and sketches from the comic here over the coming weeks.

A Very Special Twilight Zone Featurette Let’s be real, here: There is no Detroit, Chevy or second floor at all. There’s just Ken Cosgrove sitting alone in an empty room, writing sci-fi stories so real that they cause him actual, visible wounds. Lord knows that would make Bob Benson about hundred times more believable. Read more: Mad Men: Season 6 Deleted Scenes We Want to See

I had a lot of fun writing this one.

“What if all women were bigger and stronger than you? And thought they were smarter? What if women were the ones who started wars? What if too many of your friends had been raped by women wielding giant dildos and no K-Y Jelly? What if the state trooper who pulled you over on the New Jersey Turnpike was a woman and carried a gun? What if the ability to menstruate was the prerequisite for most high-paying jobs? What if your attractiveness to women depended on the size of your penis? What if every time women saw you they’d hoot and make jerking motions with their hands? What if women were always making jokes about how ugly penises are and how bad sperm tastes? What if you had to explain what’s wrong with your car to big sweaty women with greasy hands who stared at your crotch in a garage where you are surrounded by posters of naked men with hard-ons? What if men’s magazines featured cover photos of 14-year-old boys with socks tucked into the front of their jeans and articles like: “How to tell if your wife is unfaithful” or “What your doctor won’t tell you about your prostate” or “The truth about impotence”? What if the doctor who examined your prostate was a woman and called you “Honey”? What if you had to inhale your boss’ stale cigar breath as she insisted that sleeping with her was part of the job? What if you couldn’t get away because the company dress code required you wear shoes designed to keep you from running? And what if after all that women still wanted you to love them?”

Klout's 404 page is my favorite.

Thank you. I have to say that as the podium came out -- which meant that was my cue -- my mother-in-law said, 'Oh, shoot.' (Laughter.) True story! She was getting into the music.

Just received this email. I think they missed the mark on being sincere...
