Some people are genuinely confused why some of Frank Bellamy's pages for TV Century 21's Thunderbirds are in black-and-white, whereas I'm genuinely confused why some people are saying these things out loud.

I strongly condemn any talk of Christmas, or Christmas decoration, before Dec 1st. Christmas is currently 10,000+ days away. No thoughts of Christmas need to be thought. Cast them out of your mind.

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme. So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

Fierce

One of my Year 7 students recently asked me what my aesthetic was, and I instinctively replied 'awkward, dorky nerd?' They gave me such withering, unamused look. They're that age where aesthetic is so crucial to carving out their identity... and then there's me so utterly unbothered by such things.

Testament is real and it's on the way! We received the publisher copies of Testament by @jmarshallsmith.bsky.social today and they turned out BEAUTIFUL. We can wait to share this absolutely stunning book with you......soon! Available for pre-order: www.bulgilhanpress.com/store/p/test... 🤖📿🚀

I read Strontium Dog, 'The Moses Incident' last night, in which a guilt-wrecked Johnny Alpha digs up the corpse of a kid who was accidentally murdered during one of his bounties and bargains with a darkly magical murderer to bring the kid back to life. Absolutely top tier comics.

Handsome lads.

We’re back with another anthology, featuring the cream of the UK indie comix underground! This is our biggest one to date, with 60 pages, a ‘UK standard’ format, and 12 featured artists! FILTH will debut at Thought Bubble, so grab your copy of from the UKC table (C45) in the 2000AD hall. 🔞

Feeling out of sync today because I spent most of last night fighting a mouse. And I LOST. No, I will not be taking any questions at this time, thank you.

I thought things had been a bit quiet recently. What a silly feature.

The only language he had was the creak of the stairs. It was enough to break through the delicate film between worlds, but not enough to convey meaning. Still, he tried, night after night, to write lines of memoir with his footsteps, while his readers listened, shivering, in their beds.

I am once again imploring Frazer Brown's wife to chime in with her thoughts on her husband's actions.

So any one else in education/with kids care to fill me in on what '6, 7' means? Please?

The world of the Daleks showcased in the TV Century 21 comic strip and the three 60s annuals is frighteningly good stuff. I adore the core idea throughout all those stories that the only thing more devastating than the Daleks was their own home planet.

Me & my comics pal @fraserc69.bsky.social were adding our unused TFTQ page to this but the con artist AKA Frazer Brown has put that on hold for now. Instead Fraser (good one) & I are creating a brand, spankin’ 1 pager for A1 DEADLINE so please… BACK IT NOW! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

It has been one thousand (1000) eight hundred (800) and fifty (50) three (3) days since #tftq was funded. And now Frazer Brown’s trying to copyright-troll another publication over it. Go back A1Deadline today! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

Little self-conscious as to what constitutes as 'cheap', but my patented* tuna pasta lasts at least two evenings and is a banger. Grab 200g of pasta, two tins of tuna, a jar of creamy tomato pasta bake sauce and assemble accordingly in a dish, but THEN- *Not patented, but may as well be.

Goodnight from Cora Hall, dyeing cotton thread with madder root for use in her Wagging Tongue binding. Goodnight from Ray Link, staying up for his Open University broadcast and discovering other errant, alien transmissions can be found in the early hours. Goodnight from Hookland.

It's never lost on me how fortunate my current position is that my part-time teaching job allows me the bandwidth to keep all my Gerry Anderson work upright. The dayjob obviously provides a huge level of security, but it's also nice to have that separation between having online and in-person roles.

RIP Adam Greenberg He was the superb cinematographer who shot Near Dark (watch it!), Terminator 2: Judgment Day and, of course, The Terminator, which means he’s responsible for one of my favourite shots in cinema that also coined a new genre for its film:

One of the major fruits of research is delight. Think of how often you’ve read about a discovery and really enjoyed it. Often the most pleasurable kind of news. Public delight isn’t discussed enough as one of the major outputs of funding research.

Lost Captain Scarlet media, people!!

Spent the evening reading an unpublished Captain Scarlet comic script! Shall we take a deep dive into David Motton's script?

Please just let me type in the year I was born. No more scrolling. We don’t have to keep doing this to each other.

Corr!! Lots of Year 1 lovers flocking to the comments section on this piece all of a sudden - love to see it!

Shockingly, more robots have appeared.

With Christmas coming up you might need an Advent Calendar. I picked up this vintage 1987 Transformers Advent Calendar for the season and made a quick scan in case anyone would like to make their own🎅 #Transformers

I just want to know how much longer this money laundering ponzi scheme that will ruin the water supply is going to run. Can we wrap it up yet?

Fresh listings for Motton's comics scripts, including the Dan Dare script that struggled to shift before. Worth checking out for a neat bit of comics history! - ebay.us/m/oKExok - ebay.us/m/IfNt0h - ebay.us/m/8oD949

Recently polished this off and the Judge Fear story is worth picking up the whole issue for. Spectacular stuff.

The best way to "respond" to a bad take is not to mention the original take at all. It's to make a new statement that is actually true/that you want to magnify and share that instead. Its making a new story; building a stronger and more compelling narrative.

Yup. This realization completely changed the way I use social media. I was being manipulated into engaging with and propagating bad takes. It hijacks human tendency to believe something that is repeated often enough en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusor...

Don't worry, I fixed it.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

Might just be that I haven't dived into some classic Dredd for a while, but even by Ron Smith's standards, The Stupid Gun is shockingly violent stuff.

You'll never guess who takes the number #1 spot! gerryanderson.com/blogs/blog/s...

Might celebrate Halloween by spooking myself silly with some Space: 1999... Year 2!! 😈

My brand new comic SOUP: The Society Of Unexplained Phenomena is now live on Kickstarter! I’m souper proud of this one, so I hope you’ll take a look at it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ste... Thanks!
