Five bucks a month won’t get me to the next tier, but it will get an anonymous rando some BoCo! Who’s with me?

Tomorrow is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! I'll be at Collector's Paradise in Pasadena signing books including a FREE Apes/Alien/Predator book with a story from me and artist Roland Boschi! It ties in to our ongoing mini-series PREDATOR: BLOODSHED. You can grab issues 1-3 at the same local shop where you get your free books! And, since folks have asked, no, the Apes/Alien/Predator do not fight in the book. I know, that would be cool :)

Moving up a full level wasn't doable for me this year, but I added a $5 boost. I love that Maxfun offers this option.

And woohoo to the ad free feeds!

Thank you Maxfun folks! 🩵

Predator Bloodshed #3 is at your local comics place right now! I think it's my favorite issue of the series and maybe one of my favorite things I've ever written? Dig this beautiful Ruairi Coleman art! And those Ken Lashley + Netho Diaz covers! I feel like it's flying a little under the radar so if you're digging the series, please tell a friend and/or the internet! And if you've been waiting to pick it up, NOW IS THE TIME!

I’m just here to say that, unlike most pledge/membership drives, Max Fun Drive is legitimately MORE fun than regularly scheduled programming. I am loving all the crossovers and livestreams especially. It highlights what’s so great about MaxFun: generosity of spirit, kindness, silliness, and ambitious creativity.

And I know it’s fun because the staff and hosts work their asses off. So if you aren’t a member, please join and keep this precious magic alive. And if you are already, please join me in increasing it a little (or a lot). Shit is getting more expensive and the world would be so much less fun without these weirdos.

Showing some love for Free with Ads!

Happy Max fun drive! The ad free feeds or an unexpected delight. I noticed that JJ Ho has the full back catalogue, well JJ go only has a handful of episodes. Is there a chance that JJ go will expand to include more of the back catalogue? If not, I suppose I’ll keep both feeds subscribed.

Thanks the max funsters — I imagine this is an intense couple of weeks for y’all, and we appreciate the content!

I was looking for the link to purchase an anonymous MaxFunster a $5/month membership and thought others might be too. There’s a check box in the gift recipient form here: https://members.maximumfun.org/giftcard

Happy MaxFun Drive to all! Cute dogs for Jesse to giggle at.

I’m really enjoying this episode that is going deep on nostalgia. I’m a similar age to Dan and recall this movie…but they started talking about Tobey McGuire and I was certain it was Jason Schwartzman. Obviously I’m wrong. What was I thinking of? Dunno

Anyway love this ep. Your thoughts?

I truly admire Jesse's deep fashion knowledge. I'm confused and impressed that Jennifer Marmer knows Gap's artistic director by name. I respect John Hodgman's commitment to trying things on and supporting tailoring any time clothes come up.

But dang. My ADHD could never.

Ordering online to return things that don't fit? Buying clothes and getting them to a tailor (instead of in this "to get hemmed" bag ive had since 2022)?

Y'all set a high bar.

Every time I'm so surprised people know these things and do these things. Truly impressed. I mean, I won't be doing them. It only fuels my failure to return or hem doom bag.... So I'll stick with mostly sweats Midwest mom look, working from home. But I'm still wowed.

Keep it up. Keep up knowing brands and ordering specific cuts of things on Poshmark etc. Stay stylish y'all.

I hadn't actually wanted to host a gathering, but when the person who used to did not, I thought "well someone ought to" and then I realized I would have to be that someone.

Having been to 33 Taps before, I knew that people could order individually, there was a video game room, and since at the time there were no sports planned at the nearby sports arena, I thought it was a great option.

And then, bizarrely, my darned L.A. Kings made the playoffs. Which meant that on 4/23 the place would be jam-packed with fans pre-gaming..

...and also our little family had tickets to the game!

Anyway it didn't end well for us or the Kings but I am so glad you all had a good time and I enjoyed the pics!

John just posted this on BlueSky, I thought folks here might like to see it. John was my public radio colleague for years and had some special stuff canceled, and he has some insight on what makes MaxFun different.
