The terrible pun in the title made me think for a moment this was Kieron Gillen’s newsletter, but the cowardice to speak truth to power in declining to share the Howard behind the scenes story made me know it was indeed pure Zdarsky.

It might be reaching for you to be Reed Richards. It would be quite the stretch. It may elongate your career in Hollywood though.

Question. As the worlds biggest and best Reed Richards fan and a famous dong illustrator; can Richards extend his dong to go to the bathroom and not leave his lab or does it take forever to reach the end like a hose. The people need answers.

I know you have time for this question because you are only writing the most popular characters in the world.

It would make my life a lot better if you could reach out to all of the other substacks I subscribe to and ask if you could write their newsletters for them. You could tell them that your fans are demanding it. You’ve got time for that, right? Thanks!

I think Bruce needs to take a lesson from Red Batman in how to cook tomatoes; it seems like his tactics are a little too violent

Ah, that main cover for #130. Reminds me of winter days in Montreal when my ex and I would need to walk to the store to get Labatts and Du Mauriers. Memories! Did you send Jorge reference pics from your nearby snowy woods?

this comment is all going to be sincere.

examples of things that are great and funny include BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO

“what does this mean for Chip?”

“I’m busy drawing dongs professionally. What’s up?”

"Movies watch me"

“Wait, what? They’re doing more movie after the movie’s over?”

“what does this mean for Chip?”

"before they come together and fight Thanos"

"Highlighting just how poor the structural integrity of the Batcave really is."

"pureeing some t-tomatoes"
