The problem with everything feeling like a priority is that, by definition, nothing is a priority anymore. #brokenfrontier

First it's ban LGBTQ Pride flags from the library.
Then it's ban LGBTQ displays from the library.
Then it's ban LGBTQ books from the library.
Then it's ban LGBTQ people from the library, which is the ultimate goal.
The slippery slope argument is sometimes a fallacy, but sometimes not.

For the record, when it comes to bank notes I'm always backing the badger over a rabid racist like Winston Churchill.

I've a couple of issues to catch up on but this series is exactly the kind of comforting escapism we all need right now.

In future just going to reply "Sure thing, Sloppy..." on the odd occasions I get pushback for speaking out against gen AI on the socials.

Ha! Oh bless. Once they cancelled half the line and got stable creative teams on the books it actually started moving into interesting territory. But, yep, it's hard to see how they could've made more of a hash of it in that first year.

The cover of NIGHTMASK #3 by Al Milgrom featuring the title character trapped in someone's nightmare fighting alien creatures in a sci-fi scenario.
Currently reading the trade of Marvel's 1986-87 New Universe series NIGHTMASK. Got to #3 and we've already hit our first fill-in issue. That line really was absolutely doomed before it even launched wasn't it?

A screenshot of a Facebook status update from 12 years ago today from Andy's FB account. It reads:
"You don't have time for an e-mail interview before the weekend? Oh. I was expecting a better level of service than that.”
Maybe it's now time to stop being the only person in the comics media who actually responds to unsolicited e-mails from students for help with their university coursework...
Happy "I was expecting a better level of service than that" day to all who celebrate.

Down to just THREE copies left in the first print run of BRAINS, so snag one while you can!
In ~3 months, I've sold 100 print copies of the comic and over 100 digital sales (+ more than 150 downloads, it was pay what you want a few times), I cannot say thank you enough for the support of my comic.

Dear everyone,
As per the post from the Bodleian librarian below, AI bots and scrapers are putting just about every website under great pressure, British History Online included.
A lot of excellent tech staff are working hard to keep everything working, but outages and siruptions are inevitable.

Five figurines from the 1981 WILLO THE WISP TV series featuring the characters Arthur the Caterpillar, Mavis Cruet, Willo the Wisp, Evil Edna and the Moog.
Oh my goodness! Discovered that they made WILLO THE WISP figurines. If you sell most of your organs you can probably put a down payment on a set on eBay.

A still from the 1981 WILL O THE WISP animated children's TV series featuring the title character and the not very adept fairy Mavis Cruet. All voices were performed by the legend that was Kenneth Williams.
I wonder what Mavis Cruet is up to these days?
