Die Laughing posted:"2016: Let Me Tell You How Much My Life Sucks" Not only did I raise the money I needed for a new bike in less than 24 hours, I was able to raise enough to offset the GoFundMe fees and to be able to get a headlight and wheel lights. For everyone who says the internet isn't real, I was gifted more money from internet friends than my irl ones. If I add in family the internet/irl split is more 50/50. I actually feel loved after waking up and seeing that. New bike is going to live in the house with me, though.

I actually feel loved after waking up and seeing that. My buddy had his bike stolen a month or two back and so when he got a new one (courtesy of Mastercard who refunded him his money because the bike was stolen less than 2 weeks from when he bought it) he went looking for the best locks money could buy. He did get something that had a guarantee attached to it (pretty much if your bike was stolen they would buy you a new bike) but the thing weighed as much as a small baby. He has been telling me that there is some Danish company that is prototyping bikes with GPS built into them for tracking purposes though. One day though, we will live in a day without bike thieves and need for baby-weighing locks. Also: awesome news on getting enough for a new bike!

The trick isn't getting one awesome bike lock. Any one lock no matter how good can be broken. Buy multiple locks and chains and use them all at once. Make it a gordion knot designed to make thieves give up.

Or just do what another one of my biking mates did. Have your totally awesome expensive insane bike for rides but also get a cheap piece of poo poo for when you need to be somewhere. Has there ever been a bicycle themed hero/villain in comics, or is Ghost Rider the closest we will ever get?

I'm watching this old Todd McFarlane interview and it's pretty funny how he genuinely comes off as a disturbed sociopath. It's a promotional video for the Spawn video game, so it's supposed to present him in the best possible light, and there's literally a segment where he overdefensively goes "I know people say I don't write fast enough, but when I'm not doing the Spawn comic I'm MAKING TOYS!  " like that makes an iota of sense.Also there's a segment where he goes "People say I must have a disturbed mind to think up stuff like this, but I gotta tell you I sleep like a baby". Todd McFarlane is a weird, weird, weird dude. ed - "If you had one superpower what would it be?" "World Peace." oh my god

I saw that on the Giantbomb vid you probably did too. His two little daughters in pink princess dresses were a hilarious juxtaposition. Seemed like he was a good dad while being 90's comic man, which is all that matters

After all the bullshit my girlfriend and I have been through this year, she surprised me by telling me she's taking me on a vacation in a couple months. All of us have been through a lot, but life is good, comics are good, and there's good people to talk about it all with.

I don't know anything about Tom DeFalco's work. Is he any good? Because he's the latest person to be snapped up for an ongoing from Archie, this one in particular is a Reggie comic.

He's the opposite of as humble as a person who got extremely rich and famous because of the ephemeral and unpredictable whims of the comic industry circa 1990 should reasonably be. I'm not saying shaking up the visual look of Spider-Man wasn't a positive change and long overdue and he's contributed permanently to the legacy of the character but dude acts like he's the some kind of impossibly prescient business savant.
