It’s just about the most exciting piece of writing I’ve encountered in years. slate.com/culture/2025/0… via @slate

@GailSimone Read an article recently about how people like Musk completely misunderstand—and identify with—characters like Judge Dredd, The Punisher, Tony Soprano, etc.

I cannot explain how much I hate that he’s wearing a Judge Dredd shirt.

@DrPopCultureUSA Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was partly set in my hometown of Rockville Centre, NY. The Jim Carrey character even lived on an actual street there. But my suburban Long Island village looked more like Queens in the movie.

Name a film that was either set in or filmed in your hometown.

@2G1Reviews @DCOfficial I’d buy it! (Because I’m not sure they’d send it to me.) I’d also love to see the Amethyst maxi-series collected in color (it only had a black & white Showcase edition, and nobody liked my idea of selling it with a pack of colored pencils).

Kind of feel like @DCOfficial should make an omnibus for @danmishkin’s Blue Devil series from the 80’s. There’s his first appearance, the series, and the annuals. Thats a good amount of material to make an omnibus version of the character. Let’s make it happen, DC Comics!!!

@MrWillHenry Years ago, there was a snowmobiling magazine that could have been called Snow Track, but they thought it was cooler as SNO TRAK, which they put on the cover with no space. Meaning it would easily be read as SNOT RAK…which they didn’t realize till the first issue came out.

See you July 32nd at the Snack Shack #wallacethebrave

According to @BillScher, @pewresearch’s mention of a possible bi-national state in Israel/Palestine is "weird." True, it seems less realistic now than when Peter Beinart wrote this essay 4 years ago, but it shouldn’t be dismissed as a long-term goal, IMO. jewishcurrents.org/yavne-a-jewish…

Time to leave Twitter/X. Find me on Bluesky @danmishkin.bsky.social

@MandrakeTom Two final lines from when I was growing up: You out ’em between two slices of bread And that’s what you eat when you are dead

@cwarzel On vacations with our kids in the 80s and 90s, I frequently reminded them (only about a quarter jokingly) that it was more important to have a good photographic record than a good time. Falsification has never been absent from picture-taking.

A lot of concern around AI focuses on the future but I’ve been thinking a lot about how it might alter our understanding of the past. I wrote about how Google Photos is going all in on AI photo editing and their shift from ‘photos’ to ‘memories’ theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

@MrWillHenry Wish I could! When are they going to get that Star Trek transporter operational?!

Really looking forward to this upcoming event at my wife's wonderful bakery. If you're in the Rhode Island area, I hope you can make it. It's gonna be a ton of fun!

@dsantat I think the answer is No, no one can explain it to you. Are you on Bluesky, Dan? So far, it’s a sane, enjoyable space. I can send you an invite code if you’d like.

Can someone explain to me why he's purposely tanking the site?

The idea that Ds should have bailed out McCarthy is a codicil of the larger logic of DC punditry in which R bad behavior/destruction is assumed, a baseline like weather, and Ds managing the consequences of that behavior is a given. It’s part of DC being hardwired for the GOP.

@JerryOrdway Nice work over Don’s pencils! I was lucky to work with him on my run on Wonder Woman.

@MrWillHenry I've had that experience with some of the comic book series I've written -- no idea where the story is going until it gets there. (And sometimes I'm even impressed with the writer 😊.)

@danmishkin Sometimes I reread a chunk of the archives and am surprised I have no idea what some of the punchlines will be. I've totally forgotten

The full (and free) Wallace the Brave archives can be found at gocomics.com/wallace-the-br… . It's over 2000 comics of Wallace fun!

@GailSimone Kinda like reading the Narnia books.

Okay. You've made an at-home date night. You've made iced tea and popcorn. You have selected a horror movie on a streaming network. An hour in, you realize, it's a Christian message movie and they TRICKED you into thinking it was just a nice scary movie. WHAT DO YOU DO?

@StingingMonkey @MrWillHenry I hope that someday we'll see Wallace get the same treatment Fantagraphics is currently giving Pogo, still my favorite strip of all time. (Sorry, Will.)

@danmishkin @MrWillHenry You know I wonder if an edition with the sunday strips in colour and all the dailies could ever happen? Such a treasure of a comic strip.

While laid up with a busted shoulder. I’ve reread the entire run of Wallace the Brave by @MrWillHenry. It’s magnificent and already a classic, IMO. Now it just needs to be collected in full, not just the otherwise swell books that skip over so many great strips. Read on GoComics!

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is responsible for ending Roe v. Wade. And if you vote for him, he’ll go even further.

@MrWillHenry @StingingMonkey Maybe collect all of the Sterling "origin stories"! Yeah, not enough for a book, I know, but about 2/3 of the way through my reread, I wished I'd written down all the dates.

@StingingMonkey @danmishkin I'm trying to get a nice Sunday collection printed. With the full title panels too. Wish me luch

@MrWillHenry @StingingMonkey Devoutly to be wished!
