darwyn cooke's tribute to kubert: http://t.co/O9PqyOpu #
mostly in hiding for SDCC but there are scraps of dinner memory with @jamesdrobinson, @OKBJGM, steven grant , @TheWinterMen, @alexanderitis #
the kittens’ christian names are norman jax and milli bananas #
sometimes i forget that you can make cartoon obstacles out of actual obstacles. #
there is no continent called "America". There is one called "North America" and another called "South America". #
The USA is referred to in abbreviated form as "America". Like almost every country in the world. #
There are 2 places called New York. One is a city, the other a State. Sometimes multiple things use the same name. #
there is a man on colbert last night that looks a lot like @fredvanlente #
INTERNET: pay tribute to the best book in American comics: “@jasonaaron: Look what came in the mail today http://t.co/EYeqXaLQ” #
ATTENTION @Ssnyder1835 “@Oeming: Here is an ELVIS story (W/ NIXON!) I wrote & drew for @LiquidComics w/ @nickfil http://t.co/mNdC2qLq #
just signed up for skydrive and realized i am weirdly more ok with microsoft now that they are sorta the underdog #
congrats to kathryn immonen, who as a writer could mop the floor with all of us http://t.co/l8G3IWlP #
“all my problems are white people problems. that's what happens when you're a white people.” – @jasonlatour #
obsessed with Michael DeForge’s ANT COMIC http://t.co/wQfkb5IF #
sometimes @chuckbb calls a meeting to order and then is not there at the time he chose #
last hour & a half have been full of DEATHFACE meetings for @offsetcomics. you remember him, right? he remembers you. http://t.co/3Oc2ojb3 #
seriously @ComedyCentral how is the @iamjohnoliver state of the union address from his show not up on the internet #
maybe whoever invented the stripper fitness program is playing an elaborate joke on women #

twitter recap 2012-08-14

when friends started the walking dead years ago who knew it'd have such success i'd 1 day be blocking their facebook app (i block every app) #
the weather channel says it is 83 degrees in NY. but the “feels like” number is way lower than 300 degrees and is thus a lie. #
SERIOUSLY WEATHERdotCOM WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HOW I FEEL #
walked through Times Square AND past Madison Square Garden to get to where I'm going. it is clear I have a serious grudge against my time. #
hey since @sparrow has no plans to update their app that i paid for and it still has a glitch when sending mail can i apply for a refund? #
on the death of Joe Kubert: http://t.co/NKes9NW1 #
if that washington post link doesn’t work, here’s a better one. http://t.co/nuOYhuq2 #
“@MattMooreAP: #Comics legend Joe #Kubert dies at 85. @IvanBrandon notes that Kubert was #important #strong & http://t.co/o8iSbk9C” #
goddamn it where is @jasonlatour when i need to discuss breaking bad with him. also conceptually this was maybe my favorite ep of forever. #
hey so @KyleJBaker got the rights back to one of the best comics of all time and plans to make more: https://t.co/942sGWR7 #
also seriously the ones of you that aren't following @KyleJBaker should improve your lives this very second #
“@letsgetgizzy: I wanna go on Intervention so that guy can tell me my family loves me like crazy.” #
the thrillist piece on @NickAnderer makes it clear i am drinking with all the wrong people #
listen i could vote in these awards or i could sing Christopher Cross' SAILING at the top of my lungs to these kittens you guys understand #
for my money @Hillstone_NYC makes pound for pound the best burger in the city. #
(by pound for pound i mean you can go to minetta tavern which is arguably better but hard to get into and a lot more money) #
.@progressive wins the year in shittiness: http://t.co/sPxUzY0m (via @pattonoswalt) #
hey guys can you help me to recreate NY in the image of crocodile dundee's NY let's start with casting this guy http://t.co/dk1nvl4r #
“@danguterman: Sure, getting rejected by The New Yorker hurt, but it's nothing my dog therapist and I can't work through.” #

the kind of book you can’t even envy because your mind strains at any attempt to understand how it was accomplished. ONE SOUL by @rayfawkes. #
Still saddened 5 years later by the loss of my friend Mike Wieringo. #
headed to the bronx. lived a 5 mile radius from here pretty much all my life, don't think i've ever been to the bronx except a yankee game. #
wait. i had a girlfriend in the bronx. i really am an idiot. #
“@agentbizzle: Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan taking control of America will be like Biff Tannen taking control of the Sports Almanac.” #
oh no. RIP joe kubert. one of the absolute kings of the form. #
tonight i ate a 3 course collab. between @DavePasternack & @chefmarkladner. hard to express how good & how simple it was. thank you, chefs. #

according to kayak the cheapest international major city trip i could take right now is to dublin for less than $500. #
10 years ago you could get most places for $500. now that’s a bargain. #
looks like if you can get a baby to the world on aug. 11 they'll be great at art. happy birthday: @Joe_Quinones, @BruteSaySay & James Harren #
crap and also happy birthday to the man most likely to cause my death by alcohol poisoning: @epicprops #
happy birthday to @brianazzarello & @jimlee. i met jim with brian years ago on this very day, celebrating their shared oldness with tequila #
the tequila is like formaldehyde, preserving your insides in the bottle of your body. #

The RED DAWN remake poster features a US flag, the tagline “Welcome To The Home Of The Brave” & the most American Australian money can buy. #

my office is so overstuffed that this is what it took to pack up one shelf #only23shelvestogo #inthisroomanyway http://t.co/SKJtyefQ #
yep WAY more books in the other room “@chuckbb: @IvanBrandon also there were 100,000 comics in the guest bedroom. That will be laborious.” #
i found @oeming in a cave many years ago eating snickers bars but today he has taught me to make this http://t.co/ohhha3MB #
SOLD. “@andeparks: Look at that bottle. Seriously, how do you not buy @KrakenRum? Also, it's delicious. http://t.co/AQaJlrYq” #
nothing to see here. premature joke post. #
packing my office has unearthed literally like 50 books I've been meaning to buy but didn't realize i already had. ex: @rayfawkes ONE SOUL #
so you guys probly already knew how dumb I was I'm learning wonderful new things today about it #
listen i don't know if reese witherspoon is dead but i know she's lived thus far exactly 5 days more than i have. #

i have 40 followers so somehow you guys knew i had an instagram even though i’d forgotten #
Just posted a photo http://t.co/Qa2HlA1I #

also i have just discovered you can reach Facebook by typing in faceBOOTdotcom. which will now forever be the only route i take. #
even at days old he does a great bill the cat impression http://t.co/q3b4AtTM #
that was before he got his bowtie. goodnight, internet. #

last time i saw this room there was a guy masturbating while 3 other guys beat the crap out of him. LIMELIGHT: https://t.co/72icVVHG #
goodnight, internet. it is my goal for us both that tomorrow be better than today. #
“@BorowitzReport: It would be nice to spend billions on schools & roads, but right now that money is desperately needed for political ads.” #
you can't spell "bro" without @droob #
the great @WiedenKennedy: http://t.co/H9aLVTC6 #
pretty sure @jasonlatour is dead #
say what you will about newsarama but their image viewer shows a real commitment to "retro" both in functionality and presentation. #
of course not everyone values retro in programming and functionality but i respect the lone wolf mentality. #
seriously why would anyone ever want to read ANYTHING on a translucent background? http://t.co/1Oud3iqB #
.@vsRobots just doesn't even LOOK cool to me. answers the "what if your escapism looked like your apartment!" question no one'd ever ask #
the curiosity rover's vacation photos are way better than mine. mt. sharp is 3 miles high. http://t.co/wImlvoPv #
i just misread "via" on facebook as "VS". mental typo: 1, reality: 0. #
if your Facebook invite is written in a language i don’t speak and held in a country i don’t live in, maybe just assume i can’t make it? #
“@chuckbb: Dear how do I make it in comics, just do it. Yours truly, me.” #
"facebook invite" is not the same as a real human inviting you to a real thing, which i accept in all sorts of countries. #
cold is cold http://t.co/TohmRpdG #
the age-old NY summer conundrum: do you wait 10 min in the heat for the next bus or walk 5 min in the heat to the subway #
