I love this cartoon done by davis.social based on an anecdote told by Neil Gaiman. So nailed me as a kid. -M

Definite Calvin & Hobbes vibe, there, too.

One of my favorite bits of holiday music and one of my absolute favorite poems.

That's a beautiful picture by Hergé; I had never seen it before. I'd assume it predates the Tintin weekly. It is a beautiful illustration, isn't it? I've no idea of its origin though. I just found it online.

Doing some end of the year cleaning/organizing and gathered all the books/comics I had laying around on my desk, nightstand and other places that I intend to read soon. My TBR pile is overwhelming when in 1 place (& this counts nothing that is shelved in my house) 1 pile each of trades/GON, single issue comics and prose books -M

Perceptions of time are funny. I've gotten used to how old I'm getting in most aspects of my life, and yet I still think that the CCF is a relatively new community and that I've only been a part of this amazing group of friends for a few years now.
The CCF is nine and a half years old. I joined CBR eighteen years ago next month.
Holy heck.

If you want to feel really old, bear in mind that when 2026 begins, the WWE acronym will have lasted longer than the WWF acronym (WWF from 1979 to 2002, WWE from 2002 onwards).

Another wiffle ball just rolled onto on my front lawn!
