I’m thrilled to be a part of this effort to publish a new book which will complete the story of the amazing life of Doug Wright. He has played such an important part in my life and career for 20 years, and I’m looking forward to being able to tell the rest of his story to you.

@ekanerva @erikmissio Gulacy was my guess as well, but the head/cowl looks like knock-off Kane?

Lying awake in bed staring at the ceiling: I can't believe we almost got Orson Welles playing a killer magician in a 1976 episode of Columbo, but NBC was too cheap to pay his fee

A Q for Sports Media: when will you stop mocking @KyrieIrving for burning sage before games? It’s called smudging & is a common practice in Native American & First Nations communities, of which he’s a member (Standing Rock Sioux). Thx!

What I will say for Chris Ware is that there’s a level on which an overtly political image depicting two white guys relaxing on the porch for the magazine’s first post-Roe cover just resonates. It’s the Fourth of July and the vibes are easy 🎯

Rea Irvin was the cartoonist responsible for the look of the New Yorker.

@bkmunn Comics loss. This is a great comic! “Snuggery” indeed!

@MKupperman I’m not sure which is worse. How condescending. It’s like the 2022 version of “Comics aren’t just for kids anymore!!”
