Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1128 - Books with Pictures, Assorted Portland, and COMICS!

Hi Mom,

So here's another true gallimaufry, a hodge podge of STUFF.

See the cool image above? We have been watching The Haunting of Hill House here in the Tower home (and so should you). Actor Katie Siegel -- my favorite; she plays adult Theodora -- is having a contest for Hill House swag for thos who vote and tag her. I just did. I will share that on Tuesday, but first.... more of the myriad things.

Next, this video preview for a new comic book.

Doesn't this look great?? I already pre-ordered the collected graphic novel. I might have to get the comics in print or digital first though. Damn it looks good.

Warren Ellis told me about it. More on him and his rantings in a raving minute.

The story fans thought they would never see! This all-new emotional rollercoaster stars fan-favorites Max and Chloe, and picks up after the critically-acclaimed game! Torn between universes, can a splintered Max reckon with the sins of Arcadia past... and is there any future for Max and Chloe when time itself is against them? Written by Emma Vieceli, with art by Claudia Leonardi! Life is Strange #1 is available in comic shops on November 14, 2018, and also on digital devices.

I am just putting this here. I just shared a Banksy meme in class and somehow You Tube knew and showed me this video in the suggested queue. The meme follows.

CARPETS CLEANED

So we had the carpet in the living room shampooed. Check out the video. The dogs were not happy.








ANOTHER COMIC SHOP BITES THE DUST PORTLAND COMIC SHOP TOUR 2018

Well, the comic shop did not "bite the dust." It's just that I could cross it off my list.

I went to BOOKS WITH PICTURES on Division and 11th on Friday 1811.02. It was SO COOL!!

I really LOVE this one. I may go back A LOT. There's a reading area! With A COUCH.

I was greeted warmly by the owner and "proprietrix" Katie Proctor, to whom I am sending this link just for FYI. Katie seems super cool, and this truth was echoed by the owner of Moonbrine (see forthcoming photos) when I went buy some pickles.

I bought a copy of American Born Chinese and some mini comics. Plus a sale book, a copy of the Black Panther and The Crew, which I really LIKED. I may post pictures of my purchases later.

The shop is bright and warm. The politics align with my own. Katie and her co-worker are great.

This is a good one, peeps.

BOOKS WITH PICTURES - CAN YOU DIG IT? :-)

(I do; I dig it.)

Amused to see Maison Margiela going for the New Normal apocalypse culture look:

ACCELERATE by Ghost Cop.  Their new album is out on Nov 9, but you may want to hold on for a link to the physical release, which will include a 40-page zine featuring microfictions by Tim Maughan, whose forthcoming novel INFINITE DETAIL is excellent.

NEW (written 1708.27) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom.
