The Comic Book/Comic Strip Home Page

May 9, 2026

This scene was actually in the comic book!

Over the last few months, I’ve been writing more blog posts about comic books and old comic strips, and some of these have turned into my favorite recent posts. Unfortunately, I haven’t organized these comic posts as I’ve written them, so sometimes I can’t find my own writing (not finding stuff might be age-related, but I’m not sure because I’ve always been a little absentminded).

Speaking of absentmindedness, you should have seen my desk back in the old days. It was pretty bad. Now that almost everything is digitized, my desk isn’t so messy, but in the days of paper documentation? Yeesh! Piles of paper documentation, that’s something that I don’t miss!

Piles of comic books? I’m still a sucker to see what’s new.
