Pablo Picasso, The Impossible Cool, 3 Jan 2020

“Past, present, and future on view in a wondrous machine. Everything everywhere in every universe. Better than YouTube, but can this device bring happiness to a young slacker looking for love and life’s meaning?”
Drunk on Time, Storylandia, The Wapshott Press Journal of Fiction, Issue 32, Winter 2020

“What?” Mary recoiled in surprise. “Your doctor didn’t recommend stealing the pituitary glands of younger women? Dr. Jeff and I have been doing that for 300 years.”

If youth knew; if age could.

Comics Agonisties: The Big M for Iris

Comics Agony

And just in time for the holidays!

And because I’m nice: Mary Worth, December 1, 2019

And this smug bastard is why Iris should get a female doctor. No woman smirks at menopause. It’s like smirking at a charging rhino or something.

Mary Worth writer and art team, pull yourselves together. Menopause is something I hope M Worth knows a lot about.

My life is already endless internet toil, when all I like about comics is that usually you can instantly understand what’s going on in any Sunday strip. Then, here are these two square-jawed hunks. Y’know, I might not look this up because a) I should know so I must suffer; b) all will be revealed on Monday; c) girls love mystery; and d) meh.

By the way, Mike, if that’s who you are, you could go camping under that 70s necktie you’re wearing.

Full disclosure: I’m not fond of these comics cross-overs the DT team do so often, but if Tom of Finland’s Police Officer Kake ever shows up in Dick Tracy, I will attain a state of such pure unadulterated exalted joy that I’ll hang up my comics mocking spurs forever. However, I wouldn’t hold your breath, folks. (but… Tom was in The Economist recently and I never thought I’d see that…)
