Better Late Than Never

James Van Looy has a short poem for this week's It's All One Thing poem column.

Oddball Magazine thanks you for your patience.

 

Are You Ready

Entropy Marches On

For the first time in over a decade, James Van Looy's poem column It's All One Thing will not be published in Oddball Magazine today, maybe not until next week. 

On the surface level, it's a computer issue.

Personally, I blame the ongoing decline of the world. 

Happy Birthday, James Tyler

Keep writing.

Happy Birthday, Nolcha Fox

 

Happy Birthday, Kaleigh O’Keefe

 

Happy Birthday, Rick C. Christiansen

How to Say Bye to July

Diana Saenz features at Stone Soup tonight to help us close out July.

This Happened a While Back

The Brigham and Women's Hospital nurses strike rattled me as I was scheduled for a procedure that week when it came to a head. Next time a strike happens, I have to try and go out and take photos.Everyone should be making more money.

Happy Belated

After checking past posts, I realized that this "No ICE" graffiti, a few blemishes aside, has been around for over a year. If you've walked around the city and seen all the anti-Trump/anti-ICE/anti-capitalism graffiti grossly painted over, you know how impressive this is.

A Moment of Comics

With such a year of entropy, it's hard looking back and seeing how right the doomsayers were. From Savage Dragon #218 by Erik Larson along with his long standing letterer, Chris Eliopoulos.
