Frank Stack is probably most well-known today for illustrating much of Harvey Pekar’s American Splendor and Pekar and his wife Joyce Brabner’s graphic novel Our Cancer Year. He has been a cartoonist in the underground scene for decades, ever since he befriended the much more well-known Gilbert Shleton (creator of The...

Remember, it doesn’t have cellular access anymore, just wifi. Does anyone have any good ideas for what to do with it? A friend suggested a dedicated GPS for my car,...
I saw the String cheese post so I thought I’d share my own “slightly beyond best before date” consumable.

I’m pretty sure whatever vile liquid is in that...
A storage room in the basement of my parents’ house had a huge amount of liquor and wine. They weren’t alcoholics, professors just always bring a bottle of something with them when they come over for dinner. Because they weren’t alcoholics, most of it sat there for years. I remember they had cans of Michelob from the 70s when I was in high school in the 90s. They still had pull tabs instead of pop tabs.
I stole a lot of that liquor as a teenager, but I left that beer alone.
