Just wrote a longform essay — and made a comic strip — about the @BruceDern @RobNilsson1 cult running movie ON THE EDGE. Interviewed Dern, Nilsson, Pam Grier, and many others. If you’re a running nerd of a certain age, this might be your bag. https://t.co/XINosMtJFw

Here's an essay years in the making: In 2019 I decided to run the Dipsea Race because of a movie I saw in 1986. The race got pandemic-delayed. So I started interviewing the people who made the movie — Bruce Dern, Pam Grier, and many others. The result: https://t.co/vMzasVRcib

Enough. (Long past “enough,” if we’re being honest, but I still liked the Lists feature here.) I am now on the other platform(s) all the kids are talking about.

Me getting ready for today to end

UPDATE: You can pop into Excalibur Comics and grab one of the posters I made w/ @mudron to celebrate their 50th anniversary — also available in convenient magnet and sticker form….

Have achieved my final form: appearing as a character in a @Cattifer nonfiction comic about running. Please enjoy her very funny true story of running a mile for time while eating a donut after every lap. https://t.co/QgV75eq9RE

Pop in and wish them a happy birthday:

(Here's the uncolored version if you want to see exactly how much thunder Bill brought on this one.)

Just made a poster celebrating Excalibur Comics' 50th (yes, 50th) anniversary in business — a stunning achievement. Congratulations, Debbie and Peter! Lines by me. Colors by @mudron .

@cwhe Update: I stand corrected

It’s a great and occasionally surprising longform read by @cwhe , w/ sympathies and mild disgust shifting moment to moment, and I kind of want someone to release all the different books, essays, poems and unpublished manuscripts in a boxset with this piece as the introduction

“Somewhere in the void between ‘Write what you know’ and ‘Do no harm’ sits a whole world of possibility.” Four college pals all chronicled the same infidelity from four very different perspectives. Plays a bit like Fleetwood Mac, only w/ midlist authors. https://t.co/TMzQefmKBL

“A day or two after the trip Scott brought his book over. It had a garish dust jacket and I remember being embarrassed by the violence, bad taste and slippery look of it. It looked the book jacket for a book of bad science fiction.” — Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Imagine going to the club in 1970 to hang with your friends and a band you’ve never heard of called Kraftwerk is playing and they ruin your night by inventing techno music

Scene 2 of THE GREAT TRAIN HAUNTING is now live on the Cat Farris Patreon! This is where you start to get a sense of the full-blown Wild West romp Cat and I have been cooking up for all-ages readers. https://t.co/NJAvubdQ4n

this is the funniest video to ever exist elijah wood engaging in not-so-sober activities (fighting dom monaghan)

This year marks the 20th anniversary of CulturePulp, the comic I drew for the @Oregonian and a couple of other venues throughout the early years of our new century. While most of them were non-fiction reportage, did one for FluxBlog about the interview I always wanted to land

Oh, hey, @washingtonpost is asking the same thing: “Editors for @RoadandTrack aren’t saying why they yanked Kate Wagner’s story from the website shortly after it published.” https://t.co/xBH20l07eA

So @RoadandTrack — are you going to explain why you posted and almost immediately deleted a piece of reportage that is almost certainly going to make the cut in 2024’s Best American Sportwriting?
