A Tasty Memory
Fellow Traveler Anne Skove relates a first from younger days in this week's comic. Read "She Who Laughs Lasts" now at Oddball Magazine.
Watching It Happen
Mike Mesterton-Gibbons on the comeuppance of someone else other than Trump will open this holiday Monday at Oddball Magazine.
My Monday Morning Music
I decided to do a theme of monster themed songs this week. The first song is "Monster" from Fred Schneider of the B-52s. I was surprised I was able to see this video. It looks like this video was banned on MTV, so I might have found it on the then-local UHF video channel site V66. Really.
This Week's Friendly Reminder
They may call Trump a Nazi, they may draw him to look like a Nazi, but don't let that distract you from the fact that Trump is a Nazi.

Friends Like These
Here's a selfie Toni Bee took of her and Ed Gault four years ago during a Stone Soup event at one of the Fort Point Arts Community events I couldn't host because I was away during the holiday weekend. Ed hosted and Toni provided the extra energy. I haven't seen either Toni or Edward face to face for quite a bit. I hope I'm able to get together with them and other local Stone Soupers before the end of the year.
Another Nice Little Mark for the Fall
"My Final Resumé Objective" is my latest little poem for the fifteenth issue of Molecule. So glad to be published other poets like Noah Berlatsky, Drew Pisarra, Toby Hofacre and many others. Read it here.

My Friday Evening Music
"Seel Peas" from Chris Korda's Church of Euthanasia days was always a haunting piece of music. I'll end with this for the week.

And now we finally close with Wise Words by Bruce Wise.

Yesterday's Dire today. Hosted by Timothy Gager.
Know What?
Every day feels like its Friday now.
If you've seen my other Friday posts, you know this isn't a good thing.
Leopards Eating Faces Update!
Thanks, Bos. Next time, don't wait so long to stand up against evil in the simplest possible way by not voting for it.

That's What the Man Said!
It’s sad seeing Snopes sink so low as to try and minimize what he said while ignoring the cheers from the audience.
Mignon Ariel King Features at Stone Soup Poetry, 10-7-26
From this week's online gathering. Just what Stone Soup needed. A poet providing some much needed Boston flavor in our brew. Be sure to grab her latest collection, Under the Arbored Moon.

And Now That's Over With
I mean, another fulfilling something accomplished, am I right?
I'm sure you can say the same.
But I hope you have enough energy for Stone Soup tonight.
Mignon Ariel King is our special feature.
Hopefully, you'll be one of the familiar faces in the virtual crowd.
Full Potential
We end with work by the poet known as DAJ 2020 with photography by Bonnie Matthews Brock. Thank you for reading Oddball Magazine this Wednesday. More work coming along with a call for submissions!

Name Withheld?
Christopher Cavallo is October's first entry in Lyrical Somerville. Read it now in The Somerville Times.
Clever
On Sunday I found these "'47 Clean Up" stickers. It looks like they came off purchased clothing. It looks like someone had the idea to put them on as a very not-so-subtle anti-Trump message. At least, that's how I interpreted it.
Why Guy in 2026
This last"Why" from Why Guy's initial run of graffiti is still holding up. It's actually easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for. The tenth anniversary of Why Guy will be in (roughly) December 2027. I wonder if it will last.
A Moment of Comics
My newest poetry project on Patreon involves new work based on a friend's chapbook. One of the poems in their collection includes a dream about flying that makes me remember the very first issue of Kurt Busiek's Astro City, which I first read when it came out in the parking lot outside Rubber Chicken Comics back when it used to be in Milford, Massachusetts. Thirty years later, and I'm still looking forward to the next story whenever it comes out. There's still a huge epic to finish! Enjoy a page from Astro City #1 by Busiek with artwork by Brent Anderson.
American Haiku: B.O.B.S.
When I started my Sarcastic Haiku series, I wrote my first American Haiku.
An American Haiku doesn't care about tradition, formality or history. it takes as long as it wants to make its point because America. You can read
others I've written since by clicking here and scrolling down.
Your Wednesday Morning Poetry
There are a fee poems out there in the wild web from poet Oliver Baez Bendorf. I finally decided on "I Want Biodegradable Sex" on the Poetry Daily website, where you can also read an essay on the poem by Bendorf.

In the Quiet Room
Poet Mark Tulin and artist Edward Michael Supranowicz break the silence this Tuesday at Oddball Magazine.
This Week's Most Distinguished Network Name
It's amazing what people will name their online networks. I'm always
trying to hijack Wi-Fi when I'm commuting, so I often come across a
number of interesting names. Every Tuesday, I post the most impressive
and/or cringe-inducing names.

Caught in Kenmore
I don't know much about Nathan Bowen, but this piece in Kenmore Square really captures the musical spirit of the area that persists no matter how much gentrification has tried to kill it off.
