A sad notice: As many of you may already know, Comicality has been fighting an illness that took him away from us repeatedly for the last year or so. That illness as it turns out was a failing liver. On Tuesday, April 16, 2024 Comicality lost his battle and quietly passed away with family near by; taking a piece of all of our hearts with him. He leaves many of us with the amazing work that he has shared throughout the decades that he has been “COMICALITY” to us and much like that work, I know my heart along with many others, is now forever incomplete. We will continue maintaining the Voy forums but will need to ask for forgiveness as we figure out how to do that agin. It's been a very long time for me at least. - Jeff


Thank You all for helping us give Comicality's mom a hand with the unexpected final expenses that she no longer had help with.

  • The Long Walk (Stephen King) movie adaption. -- Mike, 15:48:35 09/02/25 Tue

    I read this one a long, long time ago when I was about the same age as the characters in the book.

    It was written by Stephen King when he was himself a dystopian teen. Though, he never released it because he didn't think it was good enough, until he was convinced to by his wife.

    It's about a group of teens who volunteer for "The Long Walk", in a game of win all or lose everything.

    The only one I recognize in the cast is Roman Griffin Davis, Who played Jojo in Jojo Rabbit (one of my favourite movies released this side of the millennium).

    Stephen King has one condition to allowing this adaption.
    "Make it violent".

    He didn't want them to cut out any of the violent parts, because they're important to the movie.

    I haven't seen it yet, but I'm looking forward to.

    Here's the trailer.

  • IMAGINE Magazine Question for 10/15 - " ALIENS!?!" -- JeffsFort, 00:52:54 09/01/25 Mon


    When I was a kid, the movies about aliens we got to see were mainly about how an extra-terrestrial being would somehow get mixed in with the rest of us and spend their time trying to hide in plain sight or else become some government agency's biology project. They all just wanted to be friends and we ended out being the threat. A premise designed to make us all not fear what could happen if a situation like "Independence Day" or "Alien" should ever happen. I mean even some of those old movies played on people's fears. A certain book titled "How to Serve Man" comes to mind. Nothing scary about that until you learn it's a frickin' alien cook book and it's owner is out grocery shopping! LOL!

    So our question for October would be, what are your beliefs or hopes for the answer to the question "Are we alone?" Should we be working on a way to display some sort of "No Trespassing" sign to discourage would be visitors or, should we talk about printing up some kind of brochure apologizing for the mess our planet is in? I mean, we really weren't expecting company... 💜

  • Incoming new awkward teenage movie! -- TurtleBoy, 08:48:02 08/14/25 Thu
    Griffin in Summer

    Follows 14 year old Griffin (Everett Blunck), who wants to be a playwright and spends all his time writing plays and making his friends act them out in his basement. (Basements, am I right?) Anyway, along comes the new pool guy / maintenance worker person, who's doing odd jobs for Griffin's mom. At first, Griffin's annoyed at the older dude's presence, and then.... Well, let's just say he finds his muse.

  • OK, so I went to see a couple of movies recently.. -- Mike, 16:16:46 08/01/25 Fri
    When I was in my teens and early 20s I was going to see a movie at least once a month. But for the last decade or two, I haven't been at all until this last couple of weeks.

    The first movie I saw was Superman. I've been a massive fan of the franchise since I was a kid. Though I haven't enjoyed the last couple. I loved this new one though.



    But possibly my favourite new movie out this year might be 28 years later.

    The original, from 2001, was quite good, but nothing amazing. I didn't care much for the sequel, which came out a few years later.


    Ironically, they brought out 28 years later out, 25 years after the original. They should have waited a few more years, so it actually came out 28 years after the original.

    Though I'm kind of glad they didn't because then young Alfie Williams wouldn't have been cast as the lead role, and he did an amazing job as Spikey.

    I found the third movie even more enjoyable than the first. The original one was all horror, and not much heart. This one had me feeling more worried about the cast and the situation they were in.

    Oh, and there are "alpha" zombies in this with RIDICULOUSLY large penises, lol!

    I mean, it took me out of the movie for a moment, I'm not going to lie. I haven't seen that much penis, or that many of them in a movie, perhaps ever.

    But yeah, here's the trailer. I recommend checking it out.

  • IMAGINE Magazine Question for 9/15 - " Action or Romance?" -- JeffsFort, 18:58:34 07/25/25 Fri
    (In an attempt to give us more time to respond to these (because after launching an issue, I'm typically wiped out), I am attempting to get one ahead with these. Now that we've got a couple responses, here's the question for September. This also gives me the ability to plug "Next Months Question" in the article itself to maybe get a few more readers involved. Worth a shot, right?)




    Here's a fun question to ponder that was suggested by a member of the staff. If given a choice on a peacefully quiet evening when you have nothing going on, would you prefer to lose yourself in an action based story focused on what you would consider a real cutie or a romance based one? The first focused on a specific theme that the main character is just living out and the other focusing on a relationship and all that that entails.

    I mean, there has been an impressive number of productions that focus on gay teen love which to be honest I really do enjoy but sometimes find a little "in your face". (I'm absolutely not looking at you Heartstopper!) There is so much to consider too as many of us grew up without the romantic outlet. We got used to imagining our own side story when it came to young gay romance.

    So this month's "Comsie Q&A" asks, what is your preference, Action or Romance and why? (Unless you have a specific genre in mind, I can only squeeze so much text into the banner before you would no longer be able to see a young Austin O'Brien, LOL!) 💜

  • IMAGINE Magazine Question for 8/15 -- JeffsFort, 16:11:55 07/21/25 Mon


    No, I'm not specifically talking about Jack Goodacre but if you don't know him and his dad, you seriously have some homework to do!

    I remember a time when if you were a big enough fan, you would send in a fan letter to some pre-arranged P.O. Box or something and someone (maybe even the celebrity you wrote to) would read your letter professing your absolute admiration to them. If you were really lucky, you might even be sent a reply that usually had a prewritten response and maybe even something to put up on your wall. Back then, that was amazing! To be able to contact a celebrity was absolutely mind blowing and just imagining that they even knew you existed, even in the smallest of ways was enough to make you smile for weeks!

    Fast forward to today and I am in absolute awe in how the internet has given a forum to some amazing talents that otherwise may not have been discovered. Not only that, but many use this platform to gain that audience, and they take that group of people along for the ride with them. I've been totally blown away that many of the artists we have focussed on in this magazine, either myself or someone on staff has interacted with these talents directly, one that Comsie did an article on a couple years back, I join with a small group of people like once a month just to talk about his plans, our plans, and even preview some of his material to give feedback. To me, he and many others may be on their way up but are absolute celebrities! They aren't supposed to know MY name, right? That's just crazy talk, LOL!

    So this month's question, have you ever worked up the courage to reach out to a celebrity? If so and they responded, was it a friendly interaction? Are you in their Discord now, posting memes and cracking jokes with them? Hehehe! If not, who would you like to interact with and why? 💜

    I've been getting a lot of mixed opinions of generational 'labeling' that I really find interesting and odd. I mean, I am what is considered "Middle of the road Gen X" and have found it hilarious that i never really thought about how different things are for the generations that followed when it comes to what is considered normal. I mean, most of what was normal when I was a preteen would now either get your parents involved with child protective services best case, arrested for abandonment worst case, and I really think that the freedom that my generation experienced both made us stronger and harder to panic when it all hits the fan, mainly because my generation expects chaos. We feel right at home when told that "...things have taken an unexpected turn..." and even get suspicious if things go right. Yet if you go on TikTok or YouTube, there is a ton of shade being cast on other generations from almost everyone who chooses to focus on it as a topic. What are the recognized "Generations"?

    Common Generations and Their Approximate Birth Years:

    So this month's "Comsie Q&A" is the topic of Generational labeling. What do you think of your "Generation"? Are you happy or even proud to have been born when you were or, do you wish you were a member of a different group? Bonus points if you give your opinion about the apparent rivalry between Generations. Do you find it funny or ridiculous that Gen Z seems to have some kind of rivalry with Gen X? (Or even that Gen X doesn't seem to care about this rivalry; typical. LOL!) 💜

    There's something about 80s and 90s friendship movies (like Stand By Me, and The Sandlot, etc) that makes me feel all nostalgic.

    This one made me emotional too. Especially with the bit with River Phoenix.

    It's a short video of the cast, as they were then, with their current selves (with the aid of AI).

    My whole life I've called myself blue eyed. Though I've never been quite sure if my eyes are blue or green. Neither colour, nor hazel, seemed completely accurate.

    Anyway, I happened upon a video earlier, and it was about eye colours. They showed a picture of grey eyes, and I was like 'hey, my eyes look exactly like those!'

    It was a weird moment. But at least now I know a little bit more about myself. Apparently, it's the rarest colour, only about 1% of people have grey eyes, which explains why I didn't figure it out earlier.

    As I get older, I often look back at some of what I thought I was clear about when I was a kid and realize, maybe I wasn't seeing as clearly as I thought I was. This is especially true about some of the friendships I've had.

    Now granted, my childhood may or may not be representative of a normal childhood of the late 70's and early 80's but I do know that many of my best friends of the time were absolutely more than just friendships. Crush is the term I feel fits best although thanks to a couple of older friends, I had a few fun activities that I really wanted to share with some of them because I saw them as more than just friends. I had no term for it back then but remember having a couple of friends that I simply couldn't get close enough to. But, were they just friendships with someone I was close enough to for that kind of "play" to be okay or, were they actually full on crushes? Either way, I got some pretty amazing memories and stories out of it all.

    What about for you? Did you have a friend that looking back to it really was a crush? Did you think you had a crush that turned out to just be a close friendship? Did you even know the difference back then? 💜

    "He really set off my Gaydar!", "He never even registered on my Gaydar!", or my favorite, "My Gaydar must be broken!"

    Some describe it as a kind of sixth sense, others play it off as simply being able to sense "Their own kind", but all claim to have the ability to just know that someone is gay because their "Spidey" sense tells them so. To be honest, I've had friends that claim to have excelent Gaydar and have called it correctly more times than I'd be comfortable saying it was a coincidence, but it's got to be luck, right? Are they making a guess when it isn't obvious, if so how often does effeminate give a false Gaydar reading? I mean, I kind of think that as time moves on and acceptance makes it less important to be "different', the need to "stand out intentionally" isn't as important so it would make it more difficult to tell. Total opposite of needing to hide it, same effect in the end. Or am I wrong.

    So what do you think? Is Gaydar some kind of 'fabulous' myth or  can it be listed right up there with telepathic ability? What are YOUR thoughts? 💜

    Okay, you are whatever age that to you is the most nostalgic to look back at. There's no school today and there's nothing left that you have to do, so you can either do some chores, do some homework, or plant yourself in front of the TV. What do you choose? Of course it would be the TV, come on now! (No computers in this scenario, hehehe! Sorry Gen Alpha!)

    I've recently chosen to revisit many of the shows that I grew up watching and more so than ever, it reminds me of lying on the floor in front of the TV, rotting my brain as my mother so often put it. There are so many that represent different parts of my childhood or teen years when I actually think about it. In chat we've had the conversations once in a while when a cool show some of us used to watch would come up, or talk about the teen celebrity in the show that we secretly had a crush on... yeah right, as if it was really a secret. We all seemed to be hiding two or ten secret crushes and as adults, why not finally get it off your chest? Let's compare notes!

    Does a certain show strike a chord in your heart when you think back to it? Have you ever rewatched it as an adult? Is it way cornier than you remember now? LOL! Is that teen you used to drool over now some dude that is your own age or older and kinda scary now? You never know. It can and HAS happened!

    So the question this month: When you think back to a show that you absolutely loved as a kid, what was it. Tell us a little about it and if there was a cute boy in it that you were dreaming about... we want names! LOL! 💜

  • * Help Wanted * Apply Within * ::grin:: -- JeffsFort, 14:27:48 03/09/25 Sun
    Hi Everyone!

    No this isn't a question requiring input for the magazine (Thanks every one of you for those though!) It's poking a stick in the bush to see what comes out. LOL!

    So, we have 9 issues under our belt with actual content since restarting. I was really worried that they were going to get really stale without Comsie really fast but, people have been giving feedback and it is both depressing and gratifying at the same time. Sure we are missing the heart and soul of what IMAGINE used to be but we've been able to to take the magic he gave us and use it as a reserve to keep creating content. I made the decision to keep doing a reflect issue to previous issues and added one that was intentionally only Comsie's voice. It's been a lot of work but, for so many, it was worth the effort.

    On my end, it's been getting a little easier but, it's been difficult. Not so much in the creation of articles but in attempting to create something that he'd enjoy. That has always been my 'litmus test'. Anytime I created something new or tossed a "Story Brat" story at him, I'd be excited to see what he thought. Now it's still what i aim for knowing the feedback isn't going to come from him. That is what has been the hardest thing to deal with in all of this. I thought that part would eventually get easier but, every single issue reopens that wound just enough to make it hurt all over again. But with TurtleBoy, MykeD., The Story Lover, Night Auditor, MrM, ACFan, The EggMan, R. Eric, Justin, Jules Porter, and every single one of you interacting in the GA and Shack forums, the hurt of missing someone I have considered a brother for decades now is followed with a smile knowing that he would be so overjoyed that we loved him and his work so much that we are willing to keep it going. His sites and stories are safe for as long as we can safe guard them. So why post now?

    Because we need voices. We need more of the people who loved him and his work to add a little of what they see in their online community to the living tribute that he built for us and we keep up for him. Right now, I must look like some kind of psychopath who loves to torture himself when the reality of it is, I don't want to let it go. I always loved being the guy behind the curtain for him and now that he has left and taken the curtain with him, I want more of his family to feel welcomed to be involved. I do need help and want to ask you all for it. (I meant with the magazine, stop laughing! LOL!)

    Have you written a story you'd like to share? Have you read a really good story you want us all to be aware of? Know of a teen pop artist Comsie would have loved or did love that needs support or should be more popular than they are? Want to do a review of a special story or stories, maybe even review one from the Comet himself? There are so many unique ways that everyone could be involved, probably in ways we haven't even thought of yet. So I want to at least once invite the GA community and members of Comicality's Shack Outback a spot to show off a little Shack love :) I'll continue to put the work in but just like any other community, a dancing monkey eventually gets old and can't dance anymore. Normally not without his dance becoming something that becomes dull to watch for too long. I get sick of listening to "Me" why wouldn't you? LOL!

    To protect IMAGINE Magazine for Comicality and those who still need it, I want to ask for the help of the people who loved and appreciated the man and all he did for us. For additions that are one offs or monthly, for ideas, for something new... anything to help keep IMAGINE "our" tribute to Comicality.

    The pay is horrible, it always has been but the rewards have always been lasting! C'mon out and play with us ;) Reply in this thread or email jeff@imagine-magazine.org and let's toss around some ideas...

  • IMAGINE Magazine Question for 3/15 -- JeffsFort, 23:39:54 02/26/25 Wed

    I know we are (for the most part) all adults here. Our childhood behind us and all those childish things that society says you need to outgrow are all growed out of. (I'm not changing it, I don't care! LOL!) But you can't tell me you don't remember some of the cooler parts of being a kid. Before work, and bills, and responsibility did all it could do to kill the inner child off, I know mine is still alive and well in there, I just can't see him anymore when I look in the mirror. He makes himself known when I'm watching a movie, or listening to music, or reading. Which leads me to where our question comes from.

    I can remember sitting in front of our TV on the floor in our living room when I was like 6 or 7ish watching "The Amazing Spider-Man". Glued to the screen watching this character crawl up walls and swing through the city on what was often an obvious background loop. Busting bad guys and leaving them all tied up and dangling there for the police to gather up. The animation may have been corny but, the idea of an ordinary kid being bit by a spider and then becoming a superhero as a result made me wish it could happen to me. I'd take a spider bite if it meant I could be special like Peter Parker was and not be 'just me'. I think that was one of the first times I found myself ever wishing I actually was a fictional character and of course, it was far from the last time.

    Do I still sometimes do this as an adult? I'l be a liar if I said no. Of course with Tom Holland being the current Peter Parker I have entirely different fantasies regarding Peter Parker ::grin:: but often I can find myself wondering what life would be like if I was the person on the screen or on the page. I may not let my imagination take it to embarrassing levels but, I would totally rock a Spidey suit in private though! LOL!

    So, who do YOU wannabe? Could be from any source too. A story, Anime, Cartoon, Movie, Comic... 💜
    (If we get enough Avengers, we totally need to assemble! You know that, right?)

  • IMAGINE Magazine Question for 2/15 -- JeffsFort, 17:46:12 01/16/25 Thu

    So I was considering what Comicality story to add to my rotation. I have a few stories from other authors I'm currently reading but have had Comsie be a steady part of that lineup for as long as I can remember. Now I keep one of his in the rotation to re-read and now that I am nearing the end of "My Only Escape", I was scrolling through the seemingly never-ending list of titles on the mirror site and stopped cold when I hit "Waiting Outside The lines" and it made me think of all the times he and I would talk about past crushes, who we thought was cute now, of those which were crushes and which were total love for their work... or both. LOL! But looking at the banner he made, I remembered specific stories he shared about crushes on each which he used to bring a very believable character by the name of Evan Elliott into the picture.


    It has me thinking of how many celebrities that i've had absolute crushes on in the past and what my understanding of my feelings for each were at the time. They all hold a special place in my heart for different reasons but, all stand out uniquely for the same reasons as well. Each with a unique story, the depth of the reasons all vary. I thought it would be cool to share one, two, or a few with the people who encouraged Comicality to write, resulting in my inspiration for this Comsie Q&A!

    So of all the celebrity crushes you may have had, which one (or ones) stand out for you?

    It's been quite heart breaking seeing one of the cities I have come to lome sucumb to such devistation.
    I just hope any of our L.A. Shackers are ok and that they haven't lost homes or worse loved ones.
    We in the UK are thinking of you!

    Yup, it's that time of year again. Time to look at the entire sum of our life and decide what parts of it we want to change. It's the same thing every year, isn't it? Maybe you want to lose some weight, maybe you want to get more exercise, maybe give up a bad habit or even pick up a new bad habit... Every year we all bring some form of resolution to the table and way too often, in a month or so we learn how many of them are already off the table. The last person that asked me what my New Year's Resolution was going to be just got a blank stare as a response because, I just hadn't put any thought into it.

    Honestly, I think it's healthy to consider things in life that we want to improve about ourselves, provided it's realistic. "I want to try to be less short tempered at work." Is a good one. "I want to stop eating so much junk food." is another that if followed through on would be an accomplishment. But aim too high and you are almost guaranteeing that you won't be able to accomplish it. "I want to invent a best selling gadget that will make me a millionaire instantly." Yeah, plan to pretend you never said that one by February.

    So how about you? Do you have a resolution you want to try to stick to? Do you think that it's realistic and have confidence that you are going to make it stick or did you phone it in this year? If you have one that you want to keep, what's your plan to make it happen? You never know, maybe your plan is similar to someone else's and maybe you both can team up and help each other. It's possible. So is the New Year, how are you making a New You? Or, is the old you your best you in your eyes? (That makes sense, right? LOL!)

  • A young LGBTQ+ teen coming of age story for a new generation... -- bwctwriter, 23:41:11 12/05/24 Thu
    So, I recently "came across" the movie Young Hearts ;-)....
    It's a Belgian/Netherlands production that should be appearing in the usual places soon.
    The story unfolds as a pair of friends, Elias and Alexander, find unexpected love in their developing friendship...
    I honestly don't know how to explain just how this movie touched my heart. It is mildly dependent on dialogue, but much more heavily saturated with just... Unfiltered emotion. The interactions between the two leads, Lou Goossens and Marius De Saeger, as young teens wrestling with their feelings for each other is truly captivating. I don't often "feel" the emotions of a movie's characters as strongly as I did here. Again, probably because their eyes did a lot of the talking.
    There's very little "camp" in the movie; it's much more nuanced than, say, my generation's queer youth movie, Beautiful Thing. There's not a lot of external conflict to their developing relationship either. Which makes sense, given how today's world, particularly in Europe, views queer love.
    Just a lot of inner turmoil as the two boys make peace with their feelings towards each other, and take the brave step forward to see what might become of their "leap of faith" in trusting that they've placed their fragile hearts in each other's tender hands.
    I can't say that I've ever seen such a nuanced portrayal of young queer love than in Young Hearts. If you're looking for a movie like that, I highly recommend it.

  • Imagine Magazine Question for 12/15 -- JeffsFort, 14:42:39 11/29/24 Fri
    Whenever most of us are asked what we would like for Christmas (or whatever holiday or event you celebrate when gifts are exchanged), we typically choose the realistic items. Clothing, electronics, a vacation, something fun... Things that are not so selfish or just realistic. Sometimes, there are things that we may have in mind that we want but, it wouldn't be realistic to ask for. So the question this month:

    "What I 'REALLY' Want For Christmas"


    Let it be something selfish, or outlandish, maybe embarrassing, or maybe just something impossible. There's nothing wrong with having hopes or wants but, why keep it to yourself. I know I personally have plenty of things I'd love to ask for but then, where will I get all of my new socks from? Hehehe! What do you have on 'YOUR' list?

  • A Thank-You from Comsie's Mom! -- JeffsFort, 13:01:34 11/09/24 Sat


    I want to post a final update to thank everyone for their kindness and for being a bit of a lifeline for someone who meant an awful lot to someone who meant an awful lot to us all. I miss Comicality worse than I ever could have expected and after decades of him always being out there and being Comicality, I don't think I could have ever anticipated how to handle saying goodbye to him; it still feels like that next post or email could come from him tomorrow, which is still hard to accept. Helping his mother at this time both gave me the opportunity to get to know someone in his life that he kind of sheltered from his online community and persona, for reasons that only he could explain, as well as show her how loved his son really was by so many. With each dispersement from this campaign, I got to witness first hand just how floored she was at how many people were affected positively by her son. But with the most recent dispersement, she feels that more would be too much. This is the text I received:

    "Hi Jeffrey, A quick note to let you know that I received the check yesterday. Thank all of you for your kindness. You guys have done more than enough, if any other funds come in, please give it to one of the other members of your writers’ guild. Since there is so much bad weather happening, I am sure some of the other members can use a helping hand. This would make me happy. I look forward to hearing from at your convenience. Take care and be safe, and again, thank you very much."

    So today I am disabling the campaigns ability to receive donations. For Comicality I want to thank each and every one of you for for making this positive impact in the life of the person who meant so much to him and for standing united with me as a "Shacker" which would have made him so proud. For him, I'll attempt to relay a hug and a thank you to each, and of course, one final "Seezya."
