Been trying to get to this QOTSA KEXP session for what feels like a few weeks now, so I'm putting it here and hoping to listen before this posts. Thanks to my good friends Mr. Brown and Mr. Joshua (Mr. Joshuan? Thank you, Mr. Joshua) for putting this on my radar, as my algorithm did not.
Watch:
A trailer dropped for the next Bobby Fingers video. It's been a long time coming, but I can tell you that, as a member of his Patreon, there was a period between the previous two videos where he actually suspended Patreon payments because he wasn't working on anything, so that, plus the fact that he's posted numerous teaser images and updates, suggests that something BIG is coming.
I'm with you regardless, Mr. Fingers, but The Wait is killing me!!! After the Jeff Bezos boat episode and its cinematic flourish, I'd predicted we might very well be getting a short film from Bobby Fingers within too long. Is this that? K and I went through the trailer twice, trying to interpret the imagery for clues (one of the Patreon subscribers' previous updates, from late last year, teased the next video would involve Mrs. Fingers and Rats. "Lots of rats."), But, thankfully, the trailer provides a lot of seemingly disparate elements, and we did not read into the comments to see any of the guesses that end up there.

Last Wednesday, I walked into Rick's Comic City Clarksville to find that they'd pulled all the issues of Marvel's early 80s ROM: Spaceknight comic from their back issue bins to have ready for the inevitable hunts that will come after Robert Kirkman recently announced ROM is joining the Energon Universe in an upcoming issue of Void Rivals (we talk about it on Drinking w/ Comics HERE). Fortunitous for the, as the issues that had magically matched up with several I already possessed, so for a very nice price, I brought home well-loved copies of ROM 35, 49-61.
Although I will say, I am not much of a fan of the Starshine character in her original form. I much prefer the bloodthirsty version that takes the stage in issue 51, after her hometown is massacred by Dire Wraiths.

Card:
From Jonathan Grimm's Hand of Doom Tarot, which you can buy HERE.
• Page of Pentacles
• Eight of Wands
• King of Pentacles
Advice to strike while the iron is hot in regards to Earthly concerns. Literally JUST did that before I drew these cards. The master of abundance represented by the King definitely feels appropriate.
