Synjeco Bad Nun in a Chacom Comfort bulldog. First bowl of a sample of 4-5 bowls worth, sent by a generous Dane, somehow dodging customs. Very nice and reminiscent of Lakeland Dark.

Steve Ditko, co-creator of Spider-Man and creator of Dr. Strange has died. RIP. I was lucky to have met him in person and spend time with him; phone chatted and exchanged a few letters, too. I also got to do finishes over his work a couple times, which is one of the biggest highlights of my comics career. One of the true giants in comics history who was a big inspiration to me, and an influence to me and my work.

I’m enjoying an HH burley Flake. Wow Jim, that’s amazing you worked with Steve Ditko, a true living legend if there ever was one. Sad to hear he has past away. Jim I’ve seen you on here but didn’t even know you worked in comics.
