We’re all good with detention’s bad rap. It’s school after school, worse than school itself. Study hall for those who didn’t study in the first place, which is either the aptest or the least apt punishment, depending on your sense of irony. I’m starting up a book club with my super nerd friends, Daniel Andrew …

I want to support you because I’ve been supported. You know, as I sit down to write this on January 2, 2025, my thoughts drift to the years between 2007 and 2012. Back then, initiatives like Kenya’s “Vision 2030” were all the buzz, and the year 2030 felt like a distant dream—a far-off marker of …

I used to help out with a comics studio called Sunbros Studios, and this year for the comics convention C2E2 I returned to the booth with Beijing opera-style Monkey King face paint, to emulate the main character of their book Monkey Fist (an adaptation of the Journey to the West tale).

So confession… I’m kind of a crappy Chicagoan (let me put in the caveat that I’m from the Western suburbs before I have the real city dwellers jumping down my throat). I’m a crappy Chicagoan in more than a few ways. I prefer my hotdogs with plain ketchup, and I tend to root for the …
