Bully Eats Food: Lemon Crisp Kit-Kats

Time for some special quarantine candy!


Mmmmm, they're pretty good!


These were out for Easter (and they still had half price Easter candy at CVS last week when I bought these). Somebody on Twitter recommended them to me. I forget who, but thank you!

Life Under Quarantine: A message from Bully

Life Under Quarantine: I’m Going Back Home...to Work

Something tells me this might be a modern compilation:



"I'm Going Back Home" by Nina Simone (Philips, Philips), written by Rudy Stevenson

Life Under Quarantine: The Bear Bull Necessities

Went out this afternoon to the Rite-Aid and got the most essential groceries so now I am set for the duration!

The Adventures of Bully: Decisions, decisions

Picking out my Easter costume:


Or maybe:

HOW MANY TIMES TO I HAFTA TELL YA?!?

STAY HOME AND STAY INSIDE!

inks by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio (?), letters by Herb Field

Bully Eats Food: Outraged

The Adventures of Bully: Colour My Bat

In order to deal with sheltering in place tonight, I am coloring!


Sitting back to admire my Work in Progress!


Okay, let's call it a night and pick up where we left off tomorrow.

Fun with Comics: Always a good policy

Life Under Quarantine: Mr. Bull regrets he's unable to lunch today

Thanks to the pandemic, I have nothing to put on my April Darth Vader planner calendar.


Sigh. Guess I'll go play Monopoly by myself. Again.

Life Under Quarantine: Sic transit gloria chalki

The rain washed away my excellent sidewalk chalk drawing.


I still love y'all, Brooklyn.

Life Under Quarantine: Lookin' Outside

There are two guys on my front stoop talking at each other face to face. Unless you're quarantined inside together, dudes, go the heck home.

And you're not allowed to look at my excellent sidewalk art.

Life Under Quarantine: Yes, my bottom and cheeks are bared / Be prepared

People have been asking online for others to post the last photo they took before sheltering at home. Here's mine:


BULLY IS NO FOOL

Bully Eats Food: Well, they offered

Dear Mister Snickers: please send me one of these.

Life Under Quarantine: Chalk Talk

Today One Thousand Years in the Future in Comics, April 1, 2993: That one never goes out of style

The 1992 2020 Marvel Age Calendar: In April I will just stay set / And smoke a Winston cigarette

Alas! Instead of the usual monthly 1992 calendar that we can use again in this shelter-at-home era of 2020, Marvel Age #112 instead provided us with this kinda-silly house ad:


Granted, this issue does give us the bovine excellence of Mark Texeira's TexCow:


But that doesn't solve the problem of needing an April 1992 calendar you can use to count of the many, many days we're all stayin' indoors. Tell ya what: here's the Winston Cigarettes Page-a-Day calendar for April 1992.


So smoke 'em if you got 'em tear off the pages every day to keep track of the rich, delicious taste and cool menthol that only aa Winston can give you each day you don't go out without gloves and a mask and unless you really need to, okay? Remember: it tastes good like a calendar should!

PS: Don't smoke, kids. I'm dead now. Don't smoke.

PPS: I'm not dead.

Also not dead: The X-Men's Kitty Pryde, because the very first time she tried smoking...


Panel from Uncanny X-Men #186 (August 1985), script by Chris Claremont, breakdowns by John Romita, Jr., finishes by Dan Green, colors by Glynis Oliver, letters by Tom Orzechowski
...and Ms. Pryde never smoked ever again.

OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD KITTY

Today in Comics History, March 31: Ben Grimm Goes to DashCon

Hey hey hey Baxter Building Boosters! What day is it?

Today the Human Torch plays a April Fool's joke on the Thing, in one of the finest Ben Grimm stories put down on paper! (Seriously, you need to get it. It's in Marvel Fanfare #15, and I don't know why it hasn't been reprinted twenty times. Ask for it by name!


from Marvel Fanfare #15 (Marvel, July 1984); script, pencils, inks, and colors by Barry Windsor-Smith; letters by Jim Novak
But wait, Bully! (you're saying) Why are you posting this a day too early? Have you made a mistake? (you ask). Well, no (I say). I'm not the one who made a mistake.


In any case, get a good night's sleep, and have a peaceful and serene April Fool's Day tomorrow. Don't do anything too extreme: I don't think our hearts can stand it this year.

Today in Comics History, March 30, 1981: Big Blue meets...well, don't look directly at it.
