Shepherd's blog

Because it’s the Red Planet, doof.

I’m not sure how I stumbled upon it, but I’ve been marveling at the work of Joel Priddy all morning. This in particular cracks me up — Wolverine dropped into those bizarre mid-’50s Jimmy Olsen situation. This is my favourite (assuming hotlinking is enabled from his site):

Exploring Bédé #2 now online

As seen on The Venerable Bédé, #2 is now online! Recording these is becoming a highlight of my month, along with seeing how seasoned comics-readers are now starting to discover and explore bédé.

For decades, this Belgian Walloon (hence Frenchy also being un grand amateur) was sex on wheels for all of Europe, despite being, frankly, kind of a funny-lookin’ fella. “Ne me quitte pas” is arguably his most famous [...]

NEW MAN-MAN MERCHANDISE!
