Really funny moments on Twitter this morning. Baldwin’s wife, who goes by “Hilaria” even though her real name is “Hillary” has been caught faking being Spanish this entire time. Apparently, the Baldwins have a stalker who brought forth evidence of Hilaria faking an accent while she’s been getting interviews in Latina Magazine and the like […]
Keeping Children Off The Grid
It might come as somewhat of a surprise to people, but I don’t let my children play video games nor use the internet. I’ve watched as so many in this generation raised their kids on ipads, staring at a screen like zombies from the age of zero, and they can hardly function in any environment […]
My Doggo’s Home
For those who have been following for the last couple of weeks, my dog’s had a big health scare. He’s a puppy, so it’s weird. Too many strange symptoms from a 104 fever to a lot of pain, refusal to poop for several days. It was really frightening. Doctors kept telling me there were some […]
It Takes A Flow Chart To Read Star Trek
I was curious as to Star Trek novelizations, as folk around here might know I’m a big fan of the show. When I looked into “where I should start reading” because, of course, they have their own continuity set up after the shows which has a zillion books, I found out it’s not-so-easily done: Look […]
The Follies Of Fandom
“The biggest problem in comics is comic book fandom. By definition, the fan is single-minded, not interested in exploration and an open mind. This is dumbing down and deviation up.” – Steve Ditko Steve Ditko wrote many essays in his later years about the destructiveness of the comic book industry and particularly that of fans. […]
The Incentive of E-Drama YouTube Videos
It’s funny, but there’s a contingent of people out there who all make videos about other YouTube folk in order to try to get their attention to make more videos about how they “owned” them by getting their attention. It’s pretty sad. There’s whole channels dedicated to this, and I’ve seen a little ecosystem of […]
Hack The World!
I’ve been hit on the site again with huge hack attacks over the last 2 days, which kept repeatedly banning my IP from accessing my website. As you can tell, I’m back on now. What it tells me is I’m hitting over the target of the enemy’s narrative, laying MOABs on their work to subvert […]
Is Society This Pathetic?
Cartoon Network ran a series of cringy comics about using pronouns, one of the dumbest concepts THEIRkind has ever invented and is sweeping through SJW circles faster than the COVID plague. The main takeaway is….they feel seen. What does that even mean? Why is that the goal? This is the end result of a nihilistic […]
Our Formerly Wholesome Culture
Yesterday was Dick van Dyke’s 95th birthday, so I went on Prime and started watching the Dick van Dyke show, a sticom with Mary Tyler Moore about a TV writer and his family. It was nice to watch something where there’s a happy family who care about each other, where the father is working hard […]
Just The Concept Of America Triggers Them
I posted an in depth analysis of the above piece of art over on the Arkhaven blog this week because I found it to be inspirational and stirring, and sure enough, the SJW comic people threw a fit about it, calling Superman “fascist” and “the kind of guy who would go into poor minority neighborhoods […]
The Left Can’t Meme
It’s something we already know. When your philosophy is “everything is a deadly hate crime” and “words are literally violence” you’re never going to be able to come up with anything funny. They are devoid of humor because they’re outraged and angry about everything. It’s pretty simple, even though Will Sloan goes into a very […]
A New Dawn For CG?
Everything seems to be changing in the landscape of CG indie comics. Creators aren’t fighting as much anymore, there’s a lot more forward thinking going on . It looks like all the year of lockdowns and riots and stolen elections has led everyone involved to have a heart change and to see that this world’s […]
A Sci-Fi Magazine That Will Not Accept SFWA Members
What a breath of fresh air when I saw this yesterday: Naturally, the magazine was attacked all over Twitter by the usual suspects saying this is a “red flag” and trying to torch the magazine itself. Apparently SFWA spent time trying to torch these people, as they’ve done with so many folk who politically disagree […]
Gender Trek: The Next Degeneration
It amazes me how much SJWs love to opine about how the “real spirit of Trek” is contained within these current iterations of licensed Star Trek fanfiction, in which they’re all about pushing as many types of degenerate sex and mental illnesses of “genders” as possible. Trek used to be about exploration of the stars, […]
Clown World: Brie Larson Hosting Gaming Awards
Obviously at this point they’re doing everything they can to antagonize gamers. They’re brazen over the election and COVID lockdowns. They know any resistance anyone will give to any of their agendas is pitiful. But before you think this is a blackpill, this is a classic overextension from the elites. I always think about hockey […]
Pray Without Cease
Last night I streamed with John C. Wright. It was a very good time if you missed it, with a lot of great topics covered. Definitely something to check out. Something struck me though in the conversation, when he mentioned I wasn’t giving enough credit to the power of prayer. He’s right, and listening to […]
Why Doesn’t SFWA Just Make NK Jemisin Grand Master?
That’s clearly what they want to do, but with SFWA’s nomination of Nalo Hopkinson as this year’s Grand Master of Sci-Fi, they’ve finally made the turn from nominating people are obvious choices (Niven, Bujold, Gibson) to the Diversity & Inclusivity Affirmative Action Award. If you’re wondering who Nalo Hopkinson is, I was wondering the same […]
Doing It Better Than DC
Every time I see one of these ridiculous oconcepts form DC or Marvel, I just think on how I can do it better, and then I execute it better on every level. If you haven’t seen it already, yes, this is real. Now i can do an alien girl in high school struggling with friends, […]
Richard C. Meyer Doing Things Right
Unless someone’s in the forefront of whatever drama of the week is going on, very few pay attention to folk who are going out on their own. But int a lot of ways, that’s what Meyer’s done. He didn’t embattle himself in a lot of twitter drama and get caught up in the purity testing […]
Now Your Spider-Man Is Racist
You should probably replace him with the nu-Spider-Man who is much more adequately diverse. With the series addition to Disney Plus, ‘Sunfire’ now bears a 12-second disclaimer before the episode officially plays, which warns viewers that “this program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures,” based solely on the fact that Starfire and […]
Conservative, Inc. Loves To Complain
Every few days I see a copule of conservative blue checks, “gosh golly, we need to address the culture! Why are there no conservative artists?” Here’s the latest. Every time, someone tags me on the post as “hey Jon Del Arroz is creating culture.” I lay out that I’ve attempted to write about culture for […]
The Problem Of Comic Book People
At this point it has to be a flaw in the mentality of the comic person. Left or right, group or not, artist or fan, there seems to be a common denominator of completely unsociable asshole that permeates through the comic industry. Nothing exemplifies this pattern more than what we see in the Disney+ 616 […]
#DisneyMustPay – More Corporate Nonsense From Devil Mouse
Now it appears they’re not even paying authors they hired to do their movie adaptations: When you purchased Lucasfilm you acquired the rights to some books I wrote. STAR WARS, the novelization of the very first film. SPLINTER OF THE MIND’S EYE, the first sequel novel. You owe me royalties on these books. You stopped […]
Celebrating The Life Of Ann Eisner
Ann Eisner, wife of comics legend Will Eisner died at 97 late last week, according to a source close to the family. A lot of times stories like this get overlooked, but the women in our lives are integral to our success as we are, and they should be recognized. Will is best known for […]
