Did you also spend this beautiful weekend indoors with your beloved screens?
I’m caught up on this beyond brilliant season of Atlanta but I haven’t seen last night’s Barry yet, so no spoilers, please. My wife was watching yet another gentle British reality show, this one called The Great Pottery Throw Down, and I would describe the program’s treatment of clay as almost horrifyingly pornographic. Check it out!
Speaking of horror and porn… Spectators.

Thanks to Niko Henrichon and Fonografiks for the inspiring last-minute teamwork adjusting some of my ever-intrusive dialogue this morning. All three of us are very excited for you to discover where our story heads next.
More free Spectators every Monday; tell an influential loved one!
Thanks to those of you in The Tower who participated in our chat about all things Canada over the weekend. I’m very grateful to have finally been made aware of the House Hippo.
I know I said we’d give away a signed copy of We Stand On Guard to a random commenter, but I was lying. We’re giving away THREE, including at least one of these monster hardcovers…
…to generous paid subscribers Michael Kenji “Maka” Takahara, James Kaplan and izikavazo. Congrats, and our anthropomorphic intern Genesis the Exploded Giraffe will be in touch to get your mailing addresses soon-ish.
They’ve got a lot on their plate at the moment, including randomly drawing this month’s lucky recipient of a priceless page of full-color original Spectators art:
And this month’s big winner is… katelyngoodheart!
Thanks so much to all of you at any paid tier for helping to keep the lights on here at Exploding Giraffe. More prizes and exclusive weirdness coming your way soon.
Finally, this stapled stack of Fiona Staples fineness should be on stands at your friendly neighborhood comic shop later this week:
EMERGENCY SPOILER SPACE IN CASE YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW A SINGLE WORD ABOUT THIS ONE IN ADVANCE
Just for you loyal readers of Exploding Giraffe….
…here’s a World Premiere Exclusive First Look at a critical line of dialogue from this Wednesday’s new chapter…
Who’s speaking this scintillating dialogue, and to what are they referring? Your worst guesses welcome in our chat:
Okay, time for Barry and a sandwich.
Keep your kilns hot,
