Trump's Shutdown and Federal Slavery
As you probably know, the orange cancer beast Trump, despite having shut down the government over his wall, and so no longer issuing earned pay to federal workers all across America, expects most of them to work anyway.

New Suzy Spreadwell Story Starts - P. 1 Pencils
This chapter will be a little flashback to Li'l Suzy and her mom on a walk in Springtime many years ago.
Note: No, her head isn't floating in the last panel. The pencils on Suzy's neck were too light for the scan to pick up.

New Suzy Spreadwell Painting! "Behold the Girl"

SUZY SPREADWELL: Ink Stage for New Painting
I've started another of those cheerfully blasphemous paintings of Suzy. I am not sure you can really call them paintings when there's an india ink drawing at the core of it, but that's what I'm calling it. You can also buy the last two I did (plus some sweet Vladrushka original art as well) at Ebay this week. (and they can be viewed here at her refurbished site)

Watch Your Phone
It's usual for fascists to declare their enemy is going to do something to provide a pretext, self-defense, for doing it themselves.
Something like this makes it not so bad to you, when you need a way to accept it, because you can't stop it and if you don't go with it, you'll die too:
"We lost our innocence that day, there was no turning back. It was a hard choice but THEY forced it on us. THEY made us this. Now we stay this way"

The Reactionary EXORCIST
I have always considered THE EXORCIST reactionary and overrated.
Let’s start with the overrated part.
My issue with THE EXORCIST is that its scares are basic, childish: on the level of someone waiting round the corner and shouting BOO, or a nasty brother showing his sister his mashed up food on his tongue. “Did you hear there was an accident? HERE ARE THE VICTIMS GLAAA” — like that. It does scare, yes, but not in any substantial way. Pazuzu is basically just a prankster.
I have always felt this way about it, especially since OMEN got me first as a kid(as well as a lot of other horror), so this seemed…so basic when I got to IT. What I gathered was this was a film designed to scare middle-class people who didn’t watch any other horror.

Censorship Update: Kindle F**ks With Me Again (UPDATED)
EVEN FURTHER UPDATE: 10/30/18: They're back. Their system did this automatically, they claim. Now my books are restored at Amazon & Comixology. (which are now the same)
But I still am having a phone discussion with them tomorrow to make sure this doesn't happen again. I don't care whether it was a mistake. I want to make sure this doesn't ever happen again, to me or anyone else. So I'm not going back and restoring all the links I scrubbed last night until this is not longer an issue.
Still don't trust them, though.

THE DEVILS (1971) -Hollywood Bitchslap Review, 1999 (UPDATED)
The only Ken Russell film you ever need to see.
That is, if you want to avoid the steaming mounds of shit he's turned out, which tend to distract one with stench and volume from the few perfect roses hidden within. Some have their favorite films by a director; most I know have instead with Russell a LEAST favorite they recall quite well. But oh, what a fantastic film this one is.

The Sleepy Sins of Suzy Spreadwell Print no. 3: A Wanton Lust for Burning Angels
First off: major update to Suzy's site! I've added a page for the paintings, as well as one for all the sketches! Including some rather dirty ones. Mature reading only.
Another one of these painting/ink things done, no digital except the lettering. (Last one here) These are actually the first pieces I've ever done like this. The closest I got was when I got my first drawing table from my dad when I was a teen, and tried to use colored inks with drawings I soon ruined, because Higgins turned out to be not very waterproof india. (never believe their lies about their tea of an ink) It didn't work out and I gave up. I have to say, this time I actually have fun doing it.

The Letter Gary Cohn Grabbed With Which Trump Was Going to Sever Ties with South Korea
One of the many incomprehensible, insane decisions the thing we have in the White House instead of a president was going to make, that his staff saved us from. In this case, Gary Cohn grabbed this thing off Trump's desk before it could be signed. And to show you how seriously Trump takes all this, he forgot it existed.

LULU Is Back!
Your wait is over! The new chapter of LULU is all drawn now, and the greys are in progress. I will be releasing the pages via Patreon as they're done--not necessarily on a weekly basis like at MartianLit, but each, like this, will be free for a week after release.
More details there. Click on panel to read the first page now!
By the way, I posted quite a lot--well, all--of this in progress as I was going, though I haven't bothered to post that here. So if you're interested, all the posts with the "In Progress" tag. Free except the final inked/lettered ones, before the greys, which are patron-only. But you can see all the stages till the lettering is on it, from pencils to inks.
Of course, to unlock every one of those (and a lot more) only takes a $1 pledge...

Your wait is over! The new chapter of LULU is all drawn now, and the greys are in progress. I will be releasing the pages via Patreon as they're done--not necessarily on a weekly basis like at MartianLit, but each, like this, will be free for a week after release.

If You're A Writer or Cartoonist
You make more pages.
No matter what you lose, no matter who comes and goes. You make more pages.
No matter how long it takes you, steadily every day. You make more pages.
Even if nobody cares. Even if nobody bothers to read any of it. Even if none of it seems to matter.
You make more pages.
Because if there are no pages, it never will matter, either.

The Rabbit Hole of Reboot
I AM SICK OF TIME TRAVEL, TIMELINES, AND PARALLEL WORLDS IN POPULAR FICTION AND DRAMA.
Sick to fucking death of it. It ate mainstream comics and trapped both Marvel and DC in a cycle that will never end, and has made its way into TV too. Twin Peaks, the Flash, more.
Why are we attracted to this idea?

TWIN PEAKS: It Feels Like Something Wasted
I'm gonna get blasphemous here.
I call shenanigans on the resolution to the new TWIN PEAKS.
I love Lynch. I am used to Lynch. I am used to abstruse and like it. And if everything had been properly resolved I guess it wouldn't feel like Lynch so there's really no way to win. But do NOT respond to this with a "you just don't get Lynch"--oh yes I fucking do. He's a foundation stone of inspiration for my own work. Nor say "you must be used to Hollywood plotting"--I fucking hate Hollywood plotting. I avoid most mainstream product. I have watched Lynch since I was 12 and the Elephant Man came out. I'm in the cult, of the cult.
But.

Melt Down the Failure and Move On: A Former Southerner on the Confederate Statues
I was born in South Carolina, and raised in Charleston. At least one of my ancestors (Col. Roger Moore, and yes, I've heard all the Bond jokes) owned a plantation and slaves, and was a colonel in the Civil War.
And these things make him a bastard. Who lost as well, thank god.
The only people in the South who are into this "heritage" thing are rednecks. The same people who didn't own slaves and died for the planters, and to this day are poor because of the descendants of the planters, who are still there.
They are fools.
