Its Silver Surfer getting hit with the feels for me. Probably one of the rare times he’s being treated as a human. That “Your mama called you Norrin, Imma call you Norrin” energy can only feel this real from a Black writer. Beautiful work, @JIJennings (Silver Surfer: Ghost Light)

@TheBaddestMitch Before white folk got hip to dead ass, I went to a rock concert when I was in college & befriended a member of one of the opening bands. One time we communicated & he said something that surprised me & I said, “Dead ass?!” He looked at me confused, “did you call me a dead ass?”
