The theme of this NYCC was "good luck to see you" as if involuntarily speaking these words devised a spell that guided and protected and blessed me for the whole weekend. Take these words into your heart, we're all saying "Good luck to see you" in 2027

why

The escalator in and out of artist alley at NYCC is one of the greatest atrocities in America today

For long drives on past roadtrips I made a day-long playlist meant for shuffle (longer than the longest possible drive I could conceivably go on) of songs that are high-energy, to keep me alert, and discovered the side effect that it's also good for mental wellness

The world was way better back when it was harder to take pictures of stuff

I swear it feels like half the time Maigret just lets the murderer get away with it because they're a nice person or they were right to do it

Bless you 🙏

Just said hi and bye to a buddy on the street on my way out to NYCC. He said "Good luck at comic con" right before I meant to say "Good to see you" and I ended up saying "Good luck to see you" as he walked away. Cancel NYCC, it's over for me

Comic Con prep: marrying Purells

Hey what's up guys is this the meetup for guys who tried to kill Keanu Reeves

White privilege explains why Cedric The Entertainer has to brand himself "The Entertainer" so you know he's an entertainer but Larry the Cable Guy can coast

I've only just gotten into Maigret recently and haven't even seen any of the adaptations, but that look is certainly how he inhabits my mind

I love those! I'm limited to whatever editions the library has, but if I had money to waste and space to keep them, I'd buy the entire Picador series as it's released. Haven't checked out the new show yet but I'm curious.
