Free Comic Book Day 2026 at Rubber Chicken Comics. A packed shop, tons of books, Raydio was there broadcasting live, and for some reason, Cookie Monster showed up. I don’t ask questions. Congratulations to Jay (Dr Doom) on another successful FCBD.

Rubber Chicken Comics was packed today, another great Free Comic Book Day. Check out the time-lapse if you don’t believe me. Well done, Jay and the RC Crew and Raydio, who was there entertaining the crowd.

Today was photo day for the Medway Amateur Basketball Association travel teams. In addition to the standard basketball poses, I offered each player a chance for a ‘faux’ fire shot – lighting balls on fire is a fade these days, one I am not overly crazy about (it might be the two house fires I have had), but that does not mean I can’t still join in with editing. One of my favorites from the day was Grace with her perfect reaction to “Now look at the ball and believe it is covered in flames.” She nailed the assignment.

There was a heat wave today. It felt like beach weather compared to the last few weeks. I used my “penny people” (all a little bigger than a penny in size), a macro lens, and a strategically placed hunk of ice to capture this, avoiding all the frozen ‘gifts’ and yellow snow my dogs have decorated the yard with.

I went inside to grab my keys to head out to sessions, and out the window, I saw this moron. I have no idea how long he was in there. I could not tell you how he got in there, but we made eye contact… and I could feel their pain. I was in corporate America for many years, and just like this moron, I considered myself pretty smart getting in. Not sure how I got there, but after I was in there, I realized I was trapped and needed an exit strategy. So I helped out and set him free. Not before a few photos, though. I hope he is smart enough not to get in that mess again; I know I am.
