242a. The Punisher
He did technically start as a Spider-Man villain…
242. The Flash
I opened up my art app to work on something, and saw this drawing that I totally forgot about even starting. I was absolutely delighted to see what I had done, and so I finished it.
241a. Tombstone
I think it blew my fragile goddamn mind when I learned Tombstone was supposed to be black. I get he’s an albino, but nothing about him was ever drawn or written in a way that even suggested this. He looked like just a really pale old white guy and acted like just a really pale old white guy. It’s a lot like when I learned Jubilee and Ultimate Wasp were supposed to be asian women. There was never anything visually that ever suggested that that was supposed to be true. Basically, what I’m saying is, some comic creators were really bad at their jobs.

I think I might be becoming a burgeoning misogynist, guys. Sorry in advance.
240b. Jason Young
Today the 300th episode (BATMAN & ROBIN!) of my podcast Gutter Trash is released. The 300th episode is a long time coming, in fact, it should have happened last year. Unfortunately, tragedy struck, and my co-host Jason needed some time away from the show. When he came back ready, it wasn’t too long after that I suffered heartbreak and also needed some time away. But I think we’re both ready to continue to make idiots of ourselves publicly on the internet and maybe entertain one or two others in the process.
Every 100 episodes, I’ve changed up the look and feel of the website, and we change the theme music (1-99 – Legbone & Black Wolf Fight; 100-199 – Sepultura & Black Wolf Fight; 200-299 – Man… or Astroman?; 300 – The Melvins). We’ve always had caricatures of ourselves on the banner, but this time, I drew Jason’s and he drew mine (confession, I traced over his drawing of me and made changes, because I’m a vain asshole). So here’s to at least 50 more episodes!
239a. Chameleon
Paul Jenkins once wrote a fantastic Chameleon story that I feel was sorta the Killing Joke for his character. But no one paid attention.
