Since I'm inexplicably still in Facebook Jail (it's been a WEEK!), can some kind person share this on FB for me?

Elegance, Charm & Deadly Danger (and lots of string)... it's Lady Penelope! michaelowencarroll.wordpress.com/2025/12/03/p... #RustyStaples #comics #LadyPenelope #Thunderbirds

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

I am still in Facebook jail, awaiting the appeals process... And this also means that I don't have access to Messenger, which is particularly worrying because I need those messages for work! #Facebook #FacebookBanAppeal

I am in Facebook jail! My account has been suspended -- it happened immediately after I posted a reply to someone's post -- and now I have to wait to see if my appeal is upheld.

Hooray, that's the first draft of new novel completed! 86,424 words! It'll probably grow a little in the second draft, but not by too much. #writing

November is reaching its sell-by date, so let's look ahead to some of the British Comics that will be celebrating Important Anniversaries next month! michaelowencarroll.wordpress.com/2025/11/24/h... #RustyStaples #comics

If someone's intriguing or shocking story about their friend turns out to actually be about "a friend of their friend", then chances are it's no more real than that time my mate flipped a coin and it landed on its edge.

Six days into the first draft of a new novel and I've reached the "I've got a terrible feeling that this is rubbish" stage. I'm SO tempted to abandon it but experience has taught me to push through: can't polish a book if it doesn't exist! #writing

Protestors in the United States of America really need to start including the full-stops/periods in "U.S." on their signs: with signs saying stuff like "HANDS OFF US BENEFITS" it's not immediately obvious whether they're based in the U.S.A. or Weatherfield.

I have just typed "artificial gravity" as "artificial gravy" and somehow the sentence still makes sense. #writing

Another one for the nerds amongst us...!

Getting older means a steadily-growing number of "famous" bands appearing out of nowhere pre-loaded with a multi-decade back-catalogue and with complete knowledge of them instantly installed in everyone else's long-term memory as though they've always been around.

Remember, remember, it's the end of September, so it's time to look ahead to some of the British Comics that will be celebrating Important Anniversaries in the coming month! michaelowencarroll.wordpress.com/2025/09/29/h... #RustyStaples #comics

I have just realised that we can just lie about how many books we've read this year: no one checks! (I might have realised that sooner had I not been so busy reading those 287 books since January.) #reading

It's not a comic... but it did bring us a legendary comic-strip! Yes, today on Rusty Staples we're learning and looking all about Look and Learn with the Look and Learn Timeline! michaelowencarroll.wordpress.com/2025/09/15/l... #RustyStaples #comics

Decided to terminate my blog From Mars. :( I've copied its contents over to Rusty Staples so nothing will be lost when the blog is deleted in two weeks, but in the meantime maybe some kind visitors might like to pop over for a last visit...? www.frommars.blog #FromMars

New on Rusty Staples Comics Blog! Like all things, story-papers and comics eventually die... but sometimes they come back! michaelowencarroll.wordpress.com/2025/09/09/c... #comics #RustyStaples

After 20 years, I've decided I won't renew the domain name for my Quantum Prophecy series when it expires in Oct. It's been fun, but the series is long over and most of the books are out of print. The contents are still on-line on my main website at www.michaelowencarroll.com/qp

Our first sunflower began to bloom over the past few days, and reached this stage yesterday morning (on our wedding anniversary!). We planted the seeds on 3rd May, the first sprouts appeared nine days later, and today this one is 156cm tall!

It's Comics on TV time again, and today we're exploring the odd connection between a US-made teenage-targeted sitcom, a mega-popular popstar/actor and a classic British comic. michaelowencarroll.wordpress.com/2025/07/07/c... #RustyStaples #comics #ArianaGrande
