Former Washington Examiner cartoonist Nate Beeler laid off in Ohio

Nate's a friend of mine, but he's also one of the best younger political cartoonists. Another stupid action in the rush to the bottom, as this company laid off their last three remaining political cartoonists.

The best things about the new 'Aladdin'? A super-feminist Jasmine, and Will Smith's street-smart Genie. [in print as A whole new world, but kind of clumsy].

The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl
From the visionary mind of director Masaaki Yuasa (Mind Game, Adventure Time's "Food Chain") comes The Night is Short, Walk On Girl, a comedy about one epic night in Kyoto.

As a group of teens go out for a night on the town, a sophomore known only as "The Girl with Black Hair" experiences a series of surreal encounters with the local nightlife… all the while unaware of the romantic longings of Senpai, a fellow student who has been creating increasingly fantastic and contrived reasons to run into her, in an effort to win her heart.

In Japanese with English subtitles | Rated PG-13 | 2017 | 92 min | Directed by Masaaki Yuasa

May 19: Meet THANOS writer Tini Howard this Sunday at Third Eye Annapolis


Meet rising star Tini Howard (Age of Conan Belit, Thanos, and more) at Third Eye Annapolis this Sunday!

MAY 19th, 2019!
One of our biggest signings of 2019 -- the legendary artist behind those beloved Marvel Baby variants & the brilliant Image series I HATE FAIRYLAND comes to Third Eye!
Third Eye Faithful, you know that we love hosting amazing creators and that you all have the best time with these events! We're so stoked to be able to bring you another signing, this time with THANOS writer TINI HOWARD!

Thanos may very well be one of the most divisive figures in the entire Marvel Universe, but one thing is for sure – we can't get enough of the Mad Titan! Tini Howard has done some great work on some of our other favorites, and we're stoked to get our hands on the start of this awesome new THANOS mini-series!

So, Third Eye Faithful, get stoked, and make sure you join us on May 19th, 2019 from 11am-1pm and help us celebrate THANOS #1!


So, what's the scoop on THANOS #1?
Everyone knows that Gamora is Thanos' favorite daughter. They've done some serious damage together, and Gamora absolutely hates her adoptive father for making her into a killer.

Now, Thanos is dead. Taken down by the most deadly assassin in the galaxy. His own daughter, Gamora.

It's a brutal way to die… but everything couldn't have been all bad, could it? Gamora may hate Thanos, but how did she always? In THANOS #1, we get to explore the beginning of the relationship between Thanos and Gamora, and man, do we have a LOT of questions!
 
OTHER PROJECTS BY TINI HOWARD!
The name B̻lit elicits fear in anyone who dares utter it up and down the coasts of the Hyborian Age. Should you happen to catch a glimpse of the Pirate Queen's ship, The Tigress Рthe end may truly be nigh for you.

Tini Howard brings Bêlit, one of Conan's most fearsome compatriots, to life in the pages of AGE OF CONAN BÊLIT. We dive into Bêlit's earlier life, exploring the adventure of how she came to be the undisputed Queen of the Black Coast!

The teenage B̻lit, obsessed with the sea Рas well as the monsters and treasures she thinks are summoning her there Рstows away on the ship of the dread Admiral Atrahasis into a deadly adventure even she could not predict!
 
Wrestling fans, if you've been keeping up with the Netflix hit GLOW, you're absolutely going to want to jump right off the top turnbuckle into this series! GLOW follows the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling as they do their best to take over the LA wrestling scene!

A strange position to find themselves in, the ladies of GLOW are ahead of schedule for once, and Sam (who was never the greatest manager to begin with) makes them yet another promise he can't keep: a wrestling-free weekend!

Excited for time to relax (and maybe heal a few bumps and bruises – hey, wrestling hurts!) the ladies are disappointed when Sam reveals that they'll have to raise money to get to the event in the only way that makes sense… wrestling!

But what happens when they encounter ACTUAL gorgeous lady wrestlers? Can they hang with ladies who are real wrestlers? Nothing could really got that wrong?
Right?


Be One Of The First 20 In Line & Get A FREE Gift Limited To This Event!
We know you guys and gals love lining up early, and having fun waiting to meet your favorite creators, and we like encouraging the totally fun and totally rad community vibe it brings.
