More Dangerous Than Dynamite: Stop me if you think that you have heard this one before
If you’re looking for super hot takes on Dyanamite, I dunno if I’m your man this week. I largely found the episode dull and don’t have a lot to say about it. There was technically good wrestling, but a lot of it felt marred by stupidity (should Kyle Fletcher cheat before MJF inevitably does? Yes,…

I wanna be EVERYWHERE people are doin’ ART
A few things I’ve drawn recently and a few words about the artists and comics I ripped them off from that they came from: Toth meets Kirby in a show I probably would have watched religiously had it made air It was the great Alex Toth’s birthday a few weeks back and I felt like…

Qu’est-ce que c’est?
PSYCHO II is a terrible movie. Okay, perhaps that’s a bit hyperbolic. It’s NOT terrible; it’s a bit incompetent, the reach of the director exceeds his grasp… but it’s not terrible. Tony Perkins isn’t awful in it (Meg Tilly IS awful, but she was also just a kid. I think this was her first big…

He’d like to blow our minds
If you knew me in what we call the elusive and increasingly laughable “real life,” you probably wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the 1994 DC Comics series Starman means one hell of a lot to me. An example of what I would call my “$30 at a convention table” style. Tony Harris used to…

Free the Cap’n
You know this, deep down in the parts of your soul where even your loved ones can’t touch. When the hackles on your neck raise for no real reason you can pinpoint, when a shape darts just outside of your peripheral vision. A sound that shouldn’t be there, a shadow. There are some truths that…

A word on art, bullying and inkers being tracers
“Oh, DJ,?” you may ask. “What do you do when you aren’t lamenting the sorry state of pro wrestling, bitching about comic books, promising us Transformers photos you never take and the like?” Well, mostly, I draw, at least as much as my old hands let me. I drew a LOT as a kid. I…

If you like Giorgio, you’ll LOVE Primo
Sorry, I’ve been a little quiet the past couple of orbits about the sun. I’m actually on a few days’ holiday, so I have been purposefully trying to lay low. However, the world of La Zona Muerta, your favorite lukewarm takes-based blog, never stops. Just today, no fooling, I received an email from a bot…

A duckotomy and the power of negativity
This is very much me at my get off my lawn, yelling at clouds old man-est, so if that isn’t for you, skip to the end for a relatively amusing drawing where matter and anti matter seemingly collide on the page for your amusement. “To the terminally online members of Comics Twitter – you’re aware…

I had intended, many, many moons ago, before I discovered THAT OTHER PEOPLE ALSO HAD THE INTERNET, to write a blog about funny comics in my preposterously Brobdingnagian collection. God help me, I even went out and bought ringers for said collection; New Kids on the Block comics, a comic about Billy Ray Cyrus (!),…
