Firstly, sorry it took me so long to see and respond to these. Secondly— I know, right????

@julia980 I didn’t make it the final episode. Hell, I couldn’t even finish out season four. I came close, but just couldn’t do it, I kind of decided everything ended with the last ep of season three and the rest is blechhh

@dirtyriver 100% agree!! It’s not getting ships together that kills shows, it’s assuming that the viewer was only in it for the Big Kiss or the Prelude to Sex or whatever! Sure, we all eat that shit up and it’s a huge part of it, but it’s so lazy to think there’s nowhere to go after getting a shop together. Uh, why not explore the whacky dynamics of a pair of people who are clearly star crossed (if we’ve watched x number of seasons of a show waiting for them to admit feels for each other), that’s a big change and there’s sure to be shenanigans involved. That worked for Bones, as I recall. I think I watched most of that show, even after they got together. What I hate is will they won’t they followed by eternal maybe (the x-files) or will they won’t they followed by on again off again (battlestar galactica). Dammit, Glenn, why couldn’t you just commit to the bit! (I know the actors’ egos were a factor, but I read that Cybill really objected pretty vehemently to the whole Walter thing but the writers were firm about it)

Just finished s4 ep 12 of moonlighting and like. I know I say something along these lines after every single episode of this show but what in the cinnamon toasted fuck was that

Never in my life have I sympathized with any human beings more than I sympathize with the folks who watched this shit in real time in 1987 and had to endure this jack fuckery. I literally cannot imagine the screaming I would have done if my ass had waited around through weeks of reruns for stunts like this. Any of yall who did this the first time around are my heroes because I am losing my will over here holy god. Did you break your tv sets? Rip up the tv guide? I felt the ghost of Rage Quitting past as soon as the episode ended like it was imprinted onto the reels from y’all’s original agony lmfao

Random Pulp Thought

OK, I've tried posting this twice today, here's hoping third time's the charm.

This is a link to a Kickstarter for Thrilling Adventure Yarns 2025, an anthology of neo-Pulp stories, edited by the great Robert Greenberger*.

I previously backed the third volume and of course got the two previous volumes. I thoroughly enjoyed the first, am slowly making my way through the second, and friends, I cannot understate how much I WANT this.

I'm really hoping we get all the way to the $16,000 Stretch Goal, so it will be fully illustrated.

If y'all like Pulp, I urge you to consider backing this. @maxwell-grant, @skjam, @dirtyriver, @prehistoric-superheroes, @pulpsandcomics2, @pulpimpossible, @themailedfist-blog I am embarrassed to say I don't remember everyone I am Following who is into this sort of thing off the top of my head, I know there's more of you who would be into this, I'd tag y'all too.

*I cannot understate the joy I feel in my heart that, because I backed one of these, I periodically get e-mails form this man, as I grew up reading anthologies he's edited.

Comparing campaign promises!

American: Guaranteed free food (implied weekly)

British: Reduce inflation (implied to have the opposite effect or possibly involve a literal balloon)

French: Minimum interest rate (implied to be meaningless which depending on the minimum fair enough)

EDIT: Additional context from @dirtyriver

SMIG was the acronym for Salaire Minimum Interprofessionnel Garanti, Minimum Guaranteed Wage.

[ID text–

First series of images, posted by Tumblr user @‌cisarovna, is a Twitter thread by writer Deanna Raybourn @‌deannaraybourn dated 10 February 2021. The thread reads:

There are eleventy thousand projects about Agatha Christie's missing days so now can I get a film about how at 40 she took up with a 26-year-old archaeologist, swam with him in her pink undies, and married him? If you're not familiar with the story, after her divorce from husband #1, a jerkface who basically couldn't stand being around all the sad because Agatha was grieving her mother's death, Agatha traveled to Iraq to visit the Woolleys, archaeologist pals. Max Mallowan was one of their young staff members. The Woolleys sent Agatha out for a tour of the area with Max as a guide. They had ADVENTURES. (Swam half-naked, slept in a jail. As you do.) Then, when all of them were in Athens, Agatha learns that her beloved only child is basically at death's door in England. Cue frantic mother, rushing to make arrangements. She's so addled she sprains her ankle BADLY. Max is all, "No worries. I GOT YOU. Here are all your tickets and BTW I'm coming with you because you're hobbling and I am Just That Guy." On the train there are mishaps and he ends up saving the day A Lot. After Agatha gets home to find her daughter recuperating (Yay!) Max comes for a visit. Meets the daughter, the dog, the companion. One night, he taps on Agatha bedroom door and says, "Oh, hey. We should totally get married." Agatha is GOBSMACKED. This is just awesome pal Max. She protests he's too young. He doesn't care. He wants HER. She asks daughter, dog, and companion. Everybody says, "PUT A RING ON THAT BOY." So she did. And for years they traveled out to Iraq each year for him to dig while she sat under a parasol, writing. Max was knighted, Agatha made a dame--each had their own knightly honors. THE END. So, I'm BEGGING you, stop giving us sad, shitcanned, cheated on Agatha, and give us adventuresome, seizing-life-by-the-throat Agatha. We deserve her. Did y'all need to know that Agatha learned to surf in 1922 in Waikiki? Yeah. You did. [surfing emoji]

‌

The images posted by Tumblr user @‌dirtyriver are a montage of old photographs of Agatha and Max. The first four photographs show them on archaeological voyages, suitably hatted against the sun in period clothing. The first photo shows them at a dig, the second on a ship, the third astride donkeys (or mules) in bright sunlight surrounded by some people (possibly African, maybe Egyptian, from their features and dress), and the fourth shows them next to some kind of masonry-lined polygonal-shaped opening in the ground (a well, an open tomb or the entrance to an underground chamber perhaps?) with ruins and dense grassy overgrowth in the background.

The fifth photograph shows a more relaxed, middle-aged Agatha and Max, still outdoors, but in a colder setting. Both are wearing tweedy-looking coats over layers of clothing. Agatha is smiling brightly at the camera while Max is focused on something off to the side with a pipe in his half-smiling mouth, set below a black mustache. While they are standing slightly apart, Max is leaning noticeably toward Agatha.

The sixth and last photograph of the series shows Agatha and Max in old age, posing semi-formally while standing on a gravel path beneath a planted arbor. Max is looking directly at the camera, holding the leash of a small black dog in front of them. His mustache is white here. Although his suit looks quite formal, it is a little untidy and shapeless, and he leans into Agatha by his side even as both of his hands are clasped around the dog leash handle. Agatha, also looking directly at the camera, has her right hand tucked into the crook of Max’s left elbow. She is wearing a stylish, loose-fitting shift dress in a heavy fabric, with a long chunky necklace down its front. Both Agatha and Max have an aspect of calm and contentment here.

‌

The last image, posted by Tumblr user @‌explorerrowan, is a meme showing Jessica Walter as Lucille Bluth in Arrested Development saying:

“Good for her.”

Oooh, I'd love to hear more of/about your music playing.

Oh sure, thought there isn't that much to tell these days unfortunately :') I'm still a freelance musician and usually play with the same orchestra, and I do music education projects for them too. Because of covid I find work especially exhausting these days (not because I've had it, but because I'm constantly on guard and just want to get home asap), so outside of these gigs I don't really play much "for fun" anymore, if at all. Though that said, this year I finished and recorded an arrangement that I really liked, and I'm not sure if I posted it on tumblr so here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EUg7z5NHjQ Enjoy 💖

Hey, Mod. Have you seen Kriota Wilberg's "Get a Grip!" column over at comicsbeat? Wilberg is a cartoonist and massage therapist, and writes about how how artists can avoid stress injuries. This is a great read for all artists, and other people spending too much time at a desk.

:O no I’ve never seen these! hey folks go check these out
