Reading
Books: on balance, I'm for them. These are most of the ones I've read since 2007 or so. The star ratings correspond more closely to "how worth my time this felt" than "how good this is."

w/ Everett True
Beautiful, crafted artwork in the tradition of R. Crumb, complimented by self-aware social satire limited only by the occasional fit of directionlessness. Good stuff!
