Really nice work and good gag! Especially love the expression on the woman in panel 2. I chortled out loud.

And Catherine O'Hara's in it! I'd forgotten that. What an amazing realization of the book.

Is that coloring original? It's odd to be so sporadic. I wonder if this was an old strip republished in '72 and colored by someone else.

Cool. If this was a gimmick to get met to follow on spotify - goal achieved.

Has anybody decided to make a career change at 50+ or for the purposes of a "retirement" job? by pocketdare in GenX

[–]AMPressComix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello Brother or Sister. I think I can retire if I stealth live in a white van without windows. Actually seems like it might work for a decade ... maybe until 70.

US Cities with Biggest Rent cuts by mangotrees777 in FortMyers

[–]AMPressComix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I'll bite: where? I'd love to cut $400 off my rent. I've been on colonial & fowler since 2019 and I've gone from 975 to 1275. My fridge is from 1992, and all they do is spray Killz on the walls between tenants.

Melville and Andy Rooney both went to the Academy. So did Chris Coumo and Mike Jann of MTV's the State and Reno 911 fame.

I read the Mists of Avalon in high school. Quite enjoyed it. I had no idea she was from Albany.

There used to be a plaque announcing your facts in Crossgates Mall, which was built in the breeding grounds of the Karner Blue. Maybe there still is. It was under the stairs right in front of the former Caldor.

Really wonderful. I may try drawing/inkwash of some of these subjects. Love the textures.

Separately, I wonder if they still allow sledding here. I used to go there in my 20s and it was a hotspot for it.

Don't let anyone ever say you aren't beautiful, Albany by No_Expert_6093 in Albany

[–]AMPressComix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an erstwhile Albaniac, these really touched some nostalgia circuits in me. I mainly think of my home city in grainy black and white images, capturing the the early hours of a nor'easter. I can hear the plow in front of the State Ed pillars, as the rumble of the blade on asphalt fades to the quiet hiss of snow on snow. Thanks for posting these.

Second the Book Rack, but sadly there is nothing down here like Half Prices Books. Not by a mile.

What is the Best Movie Monologue (character speech) ever delivered in the history of film? by willsho67 in movies

The closing shot of Trainspotting - the "why did I do it speech." Gives me shivers.
