A photo of a white guy in his 40s with a pair of Buddy Holly style glasses, a red fez, black denim jacket, and some enamel pins. The man is Doc Pop, he is smiling at the camera. An embroidered patch on the fez says "Cartoonist Conspiracy of San Francisco" and the enamel pins are of a flying yo-yo and the logo to Silver Sprocket Comics.

    Western Acoustics Listening Room In San Francisco

    A new pop-up has appeared on Valencia St. near 14th in San Francisco. Western Acoustics, a local speaker manufacturer, has created an audio listening room inside the former Aurora Cafe space.

    Every year from 2009 to 2015, my reverse trick-or-treating comic would go viral on Reddit. Some commenters even said they looked forward to seeing it every year because it reminded them of growing up watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown on TV.

    I’ve been ranting about the teens for a while now, so I figured it was time to share my thoughts: And by teens, I of course mean the numbers 10-19. I mean, wtf is an eleven?! And why are 13-19 pronounced in the opposite manner we’d say the rest of the double digits?
