Screenshot of a Letterboxd review of a lost silent film, The Terror (1928). The user have it 3.5 stars and a ‘like’. The review reads: Like others I’m using this space to log AMC’s The Terror (2018), which I don’t feel bad about because The Terror (1928) is a lost Edgar Wallace melodrama that no one can watch anymore, and which likely wouldn’t be worth watching anyways (basing that on my long experience with plenty of similar old dark house melodramas from the period, which tend to be cookie-cutter and creaky and dreary).  Anyway, The Terror (2018): it is not cookie-cutter [remainder of review dropped out]

A poorly-drawn 4 panel comic on printer paper with panel borders. Each panel has text. All drawings are beneath text. Panel 1, text: May 2024… The last day of my first field placement in grad school. I had a great instructor, but we were both awkward and didn’t really know how to talk to each another. Panel 1, drawing: there’s a squirrel on the left (me) and the top half of a stick figure on the right (my supervisor, she has curly hair) with several question marks between them. The stick figure has no facial features. Panel 2, text: Early in the day she hands me a card with a story and a little gold starfish pin. Panel 2, drawing: my supervisor and I in my cubicle. I’m on my desk in front of my laptop. She’s holding a card with a star in the bottom right. Behind her are two other cubicles in the background, receding to her office door labeled ‘supervisor’. The cubicle names are ‘Broseph’ and ‘Rolex’ because I needed to fill space. Panel 3, text: The story was an (uncredited) adaptation of Eiseley’s “The Star Thrower”. Panel 3, drawing: POV shot from my supervisor’s perspective. On the left side there’s a card with scribble lines to indicate writing and a starfish pin on the bottom right of the card, there’s a line from the bottom right of the card to the bottom of the page, my supervisor’s stick figure arm holding up the card. On the right is me, smiling, my speech bubble reading: “Oh! I know this one! We talked about in my Philosophy class in college.” Panel 4, text: She seemed disappointed that I’d heard it before. Panel 4, drawing: my supervisor’s face. It’s blank. In the bottom right is my signature - STS with an acorn drawing - and today’s date, 6/24/25.

Panel from the comic book Darth Maul (2017) issue #4. The Twi’lek (a blue alien with head-tails) Padawan (Jedi apprentice) Eldra Kaitis stands back-to-back with the Sith Lord Darth Maul. Their lightsabers are ignited and they are preparing to defend against an attack. Maul’s head has been replaced with mine. The word “Force” in their speech bubbles has been replaced with “4th”.
